Question International trade may offer lower unit prices but at a higher risk. Consider the total cost and trade off lower production costs with higher priced transportation and more uncertain delivery schedules. Add in disruptive weather patterns, multi-language requirements, and fluctuating exchange rates; not to mention political turmoil, labor disputes, and unique tariffs and duties. throughout the world there is one source for Schachtel Schmuggel Bannware: CousinsAg, a domestic supplier located in Wahoo, Nebraska Throughout this turnaround, we will ship utilizing Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) from each location. Assume the following: Projected Annual Demand is 21,500 units There are 365 days in a year All product will be shipped to a distribution center in Alliance Fort Worth (AFW) where we will service our customer's needs Inventory carrying cost is 32.2% A TEU container can hold up to 600 units of our product. The Harris EOQ formula is Q* = SQRT((2*Annual Demand*Ordering Cost)/(Inventory Carrying Cost*Unit Price)) Our goal is to maintain a 97.7% service level. We have a deviation in daily sales of 11 units. We cannot buy or hold fractional units of a product Purchase Cost of $85 Order Cost of $105 10 days to process, manufacture and pack order to be ready for shipping $1850 is the cost to ship Shipping Time is 5 days with a standard deviation of 1.14 days In-Transit Cost is $0.3749 Per Unit Average Inventory Held at Distribution Center is 364 Units $10,524.91 for average inventory levels at customer distribution center Let’s put it all together to determine the total "landed" cost per unit. We have determined the unit price, the in-transit carrying cost, the transportation costs, and the distribution center inventory carrying cost. What is the TOTAL COST PER UNIT (in dollars) if we purchase everything from CousinsAg?
