Pallet volume= 1.067x 1.067x 1= 1.

1385m3

Container volume= 2.12x 2.28x 11.84= 57.23 m3

Pallet per container = 57.23/ 1.1385= 50 pallet

1. How many tins of milk powder can be loaded into a container under Option A?

Tin volume= (0.21/2)2x 3.14x 0.22=0,00762m3

Tins per pallet = 1.1385/0.00762 = 149 tins

Weight pallet = (149x 3.3.) +15= 506.7

Container: 506.7 x 50 = 25335kg > 20000kg

 Pallet per container= 20000/506.7 =39

 Tins per container= 39x 149= 5811

2. Does the average payload exceed the threshold of total shipment weight under Option
A?

25335kg > 20000kg => the average payload exceed the threshold of total shipment weight
under Option A

3. What are the total costs of delivering the milk powder to the retailer under Option A?

180000/(149x3)=403 pallet

Container= 403/39= 11 container

Tin cost = $3.1

Pallet cost= 157x (3.1+(3x3)) +25 = $1813

Container cost = ($1813 x 39 + $500)x11= $783,277

Insurance = 783,277x3%= 23,498.11

Second shipment = 2500x11= 27,500

Total cost = $783,277 + $23,498.11 + $27,500= $834,275.11

4. How many tins of milk powder can be loaded into a container under Option B?

Tin volume= (0.194/2)2x 3.14x 0.245=0,00723m3

Tins per pallet = 1.1395/0.00723 = 157 tins

Weight pallet = (157x 3.3) +15= 533.1 kg

Container: 533.1 x 50 = 26655kg > 20000kg

  Pallet per container= 20000/533.1 =37
 Tins per container= 37x 157= 5809

5. Does the average payload exceed the threshold of total shipment weight under Option
B?

26655kg > 20000kg => the average payload exceed the threshold of total shipment weight
under Option B

6. What are the total costs of delivering the milk powder to the retailer under Option B?

180000/(149x3)=403 pallet

Container= 403/37= 11 container

Tin cost = $3.1

Pallet cost= 157x (3.1+(3x3)) +25 = $1924.7

Container cost = ($1924,7 x 37 + $500)x11= $788,852.9

Insurance = 788,852.9x3%= 23,665.587

Second shipment = 2500x11= 27,500

Total cost = $788,852.9+ $23,665.587 + $27,500= $840,018.487
