Answer:

1. West Calder should use American since it is the cheapest with a cost of $53,500

2. The range of storage levels would West Calder Fabrication prefer to use Sam Laud is 1,250 to 2,500

Explanation:

1.

Determine the costs of shipping 4,500 units of products for each cargo ship

<em>Step 1: American integrity</em>

Total cost=Annual fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

where;

Annual fixed cost=$40,000

Cost per unit=$3

Number of units=4,500 units

replacing;

Total cost=40,000+(3×4,500)=40,000+13,500=$53,500

American Integrity will cost $53,500

<em>Step 2: Sam Laud</em>

Total cost=Annual fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

where;

Annual fixed cost=$35,000

Cost per unit=$5

Number of units=4,500 units

replacing;

Total cost=35,000+(5×4,500)=35,000+22,500=$57,500

Sam Laud will cost $57,500

<em>Step 3: Bums Harbor</em>

Total cost=Annual fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

where;

Annual fixed cost=$30,000

Cost per unit=$9

Number of units=4,500 units

replacing;

Total cost=30,000+(9×4,500)=30,000+40,500=$70,500

Bums Harbor will cost $70,500

West Calder should use American since it is the cheapest with a cost of $53,500

2.

In order to use Sam Laud, Sam Laud's total cost should be less than or equal to American Integrity's cost.

35,000+5 n=40,000+3 n

40,000-35,000=5 n-3 n

2 n=5,000

n=5,000/2=2,500

n should be less or equal to 2,500

The minimum number of units that should be used in order to use Sam Laud can be determined as follows;

35,000+5 n=30,000+9 n

35,000-30,000=9 n-5 n

4 n=5,000

n=5,000/4=1,250

The range of storage levels would West Calder Fabrication prefer to use Sam Laud is 1,250 to 2,500
