Answer:
Ship two-day using A ship
Explanation:
It is given that :
Total number of boxes to be shipped = 360 boxes
Cost of annual holding = 31%
= 0.31
Price for each box = $ 146
∴ Cost of total boxes = 146 x 360
= $52,560
∴ Total holding cost = 0.31 x 52560
= $ 16,293.60
Now the holding cost for one day = days
= 44.640 per day
For shipper A
Shipping cost + days x holding cost
Cost for 2 days = 514 + 2 x 44.640 = $ 603.28
Cost for 3 days = 472 + 3 x 44.640 = $ 605.92
Cost for 9 days = 407 + 9 x 44.640 = $ 808.76
Similarly for shipper B
Shipping cost + days x holding cost
Cost for 2 days = 527 + 2 x 44.640 = $ 616.28
Cost for 4 days = 458 + 4 x 44.640 = $ 636.56
Cost for 7 days = 424 + 7 x 44.640 = $ 736.48
Thus from above we can conclude that choosing Ship A for two days is the correct option.
