Bobby Gonzales owns a catering company that prepares banquets and parties
for both individual and business functions throughout the year. Gonzales
business is seasonal, with a heavy schedule during the summer months and
the year-end holidays and a light schedule at other times. During peak
periods there are extra costs.

- Question 1 You first conduct analysis for ordering product 101 and shipping by truckload transportation.Your preferred truckload carrier will ship a truckload Supplier A’s facility to your AtlantaDC for $800 total given that they are separated by about 250 miles. Each truckload hasa capacity for 700 units of product 101. When using truckload transportation, the transittime is 2 days. However, since your supplier has limited capacity to process orders, theyonly guarantee to ship your order within 10 days of receiving the order.1. Recall that pipeline inventory cost does not depend on the quantity shipped but onlythe transportation mode. In this problem, the lead time TL between when you pay foran order and when you receive it is 10 days of order processing plus 2 days of transit time: TL = 12 days. Thus, pipeline inventory cost per item should be computed asr ∗ v ∗ TL in compatible time units. What is the pipeline inventory cost per week youwill incur using truckload trucking?arrow_forwardQuestion number: 3 Transportation is the movement of material from one place to another.

Provide examples to endorse your answer.arrow_forwardQuestion Canning Transport is to move goods from three factories (origins) to three distribution centers (destinations).
