Question 3: How many Style C shades can be loaded into a 40-foot container?

Question 6: What are the total costs of delivering the Style C shades to the Port of Shanghai?

Each Style C lamp shade would cost $5 to make and could be shipped nested, with 10 lamp shades per carton. The carton dimensions were 12 inches by 12 inches by 48 inches, and when holding 10 shades, a carton weighed 101 pounds. Each carton cost \$2.25, including padding between the individual shades. The lamp shades would be loaded into intermodal containers and transported by rail to the Port of Vancouver. The transportation cost to Vancouver was $1,400 per 40-foot container, without regard to weight, although the total shipment weight could not exceed 44,000 pounds per container because of highway weight restrictions. The interior dimensions of the intermodal container were 8 feet wide by 8.5 feet high by 40 feet long. Insurance costs were 2 percent of the value of the shipment ready to be loaded aboard ship in Vancouver (i.e., all of the company's costs up to this point). Let There Be Light learned that the transportation cost from the Port of Vancouver to the Port of Shanghai were $800 for a 40 -foot container
