Answer:
Company should load 1,479.9 motorcycles on each truck.
Explanation:
Cost per trip = $1,000
Demand for motorcycles = 300 per day
Cost per engine = $500
Holding cost = 20% of $500
= $100
Assuming that company plant works for 365 days in a year,
Annual demand = 300 motorcycles × 365 days
= 109,500 motorcycles
where,
D = Annual demand in units
S = Set up cost per order
H = Handling cost per order
= 1,479.9
Thus, the company should load 1,479.9 motorcycles on each truck.
