Answer:

1. Auto is the best mode since it is the cheapest

2. Safety, reliability, convenience should be considered

Explanation:

1.

This person is willing to pay $25 per hour.

To get the mode, which is the best choice I used this formula

Cost of trip + 25T

T = time or number of hours

By air travel

Cost = $600, T = 8 hours

600+25(8)

= 600+200

= 800 dollars

By rail,

Cost = $450

T = 16 hours

450+25(16)

= 450+400

= 850 dollars

By auto,

Cost = $200

T = 20 hours

200+25(20)

= 200+500

= 700 dollars

From these calculations the cost of Traveling by auto is the cheapest so it is the best mode.

2. Other factors to consider when choosing an alternative mode of transport

A. Safety: this transportation material should be able to get to it's destination without any form of damages happening

B. Reliability: the material should be able to fulfill it's requirements

C. Convenience: in terms of availability per day and also the frequency of traveling time
