Located 60 miles from Chicago, Illinois, the Let There Be Light Lamp Shade Company designs and builds custom lamp shades and lamp globes. Historically, all its sales have come from customers in the United States and Canada. Recently, however, a contract with a Chinese customer required Let There Be Light to supply 8,100 identical lights, with the terms of sale including delivery to the Port of Shanghai where the architectural firm would take possession. Let There Be Light designed a prototype cylindrical lamp shade measuring28 cm high and 28 cm in diameter, to be packed into cartons measuring 30.5 cm by 30.5 cm by 30.5 cm.(We refer to these shades as Style A.) The Style A lamp shade would cost 4 each to manufacture and weigh 4 kg each; each carton cost 0.60 and weighed 0.45 kg,meaning that each loaded Style A carton weighed 4.45 kg. In an effort to reduce packaging costs and enhance the companys commitment to environmental logistics, Let There Be Light also developed two prototype conical lamp shades (referred to as Style B and Style C).One advantage of conical shades is that they can be nested. The nested shades help protect each other, though a slight bit of padding is needed between the nested shades. The production costs for the conical lamp shades would be higher than those for the cylindrical shades. Let There Be Light determined the following information:
Style B lamp: Manufacturing cost of 4.50 per unit; shipped with six lamp shades per carton; carton dimensions 30.5 cm by 30.5 cm by 102 cm; full carton weight is 28 kg; carton cost of 2 per unit (including padding).Style C lamp: Manufacturing cost of 5 per unit; shipped with ten lamp shades per carton; carton dimensions 30.5 cm by 30.5 cm by 122 cm; full carton weight is 46 kg; carton cost of 2.25 per unit (including padding).The lamp shades would be loaded into intermodal containers and transported by rail to the Port of Vancouver. The transportation cost to Vancouver is 1,400 per 40-foot container, regardless of weight, although the total shipment weight cannot exceed 20 tons per container. The interior dimensions of the intermodal container are 2.4 m wide by 2.6 m high by 12.2 m long.
Insurance costs are 2 percent of the value of the shipment ready to be loaded aboard the ship in Vancouver (i.e., all of the companys costs up to this point).Let There Be Light learned that the transportation cost from the Port of Vancouver to the Port of Shanghai is 800 for a 40-foot container.
