Question #1. [20/80 points] A for-hire trucking company needs your help in costing and pricing a shipment of 25,000 kgs of freight to be moved from Halifax to Montreal, a distance of 1400 kms. With one driver assigned, the total line-haul time (including 10 hrs. of driver's resting time) is 26 hours. Given the following information, 2 hrs, 20 kms. $200 Total pickup time, and distance: Total pickup cost (including billing): Total delivery time, and distance: Total delivery cost: Combined depreciation & interest rate: Labour cost: Maintenance and insurance cost: Fuel cost: Overhead cost rate: 1 hr, 10 kms. $150 $5/hr $30/hr $1 km S0.6/km 10% of total cost of move a) Calculate for this move; i) the total cost, i) the cost per kg, and iii) the cost per revenue km. b) The resting time will be eliminated if the first driver stops-off en-route at Fredericton NB (her hometown), and hands over the truck to another driver leased by the company. This stop-off will take 30 mins and will cost an extra of $50. Under this scenario, recalculate the total cost of this move. c) The shipper is willing to pay a premium price, up to $3000 for the same-day delivery.
