Question
1.Draw a figure that shows clearly the total cost C(q) of the LTL shipment as a function of the
number houseplant racks q shipped. 
 
2. Suppose you are attempting to determine the best shipment size q∗ to use to ship houseplants.
You find the following optimal quantities when you analyze different assumptions on the fixed
transportation cost F :
• When F = 0, ̄q = 75 racks
• When F = 50, ̄q = 25 (unconstrained), therefore ̄q = min{20, 25} = 20 racks
• When F = 200, ̄q = 85 racks
Explain which two shipment quantities might minimize total logistics cost (including facility
inventory costs) in this problem, and why?
