Expert Solution
Answer 1

Holding Cost Per month = (Annual Holding Cost * Per Pack Price) / 12 

Holding Cost Per month = (20%*15)/12

Holding Cost Per month = 3/12

Holding Cost Per month = .25

 

 

Transportation Cost per month = (Demand per month/Capacity of truck )*Shipment Cost

Transportation Cost per month = (30,000/5000)*3000

Transportation Cost per month = 6*3000

Transportation Cost per month = 18,000 per month

 

Cycle Stock Cost = Order size in truckload/2*Holding cost per month

Cycle Stock Cost = 5000/2*.25

Cycle Stock Cost = 625 per month

 

In transit inventory cost = (Monthly Demand * Average Days in transit)/30 * Holding cost per month

In transit inventory cost =(30,000* 5)/30 * .25

In transit inventory cost = 150,000/30*.25

In transit inventory cost = 1250

 

Total Logistics Cost = Cycle stock cost + Transportation cost + In transit inventory cost

Total Logistics Cost = 625+18000+1250

Total Logistics Cost = 19,875 per month 

 

Total Logistics Cost per annum = 19875*12

Total Logistics Cost per annum = 238,500

 

 

 

Answer 2

Transportation Cost per month = (Demand per month/Capacity of truck )*Shipment Cost

Transportation Cost per month = (30,000/5000)*3000

Transportation Cost per month = 6*3000

Transportation Cost per month = 18,000 per month
