Abdul Monem Limited transport its IGLOO Ice-cream from Chittagong factory to three main distribution centers. Usually, it takes on an average 8/9 hours to transport by ensuring the transit temperature not above than -40 C to -50 C. The high variability of transit time often requires the carrying van to move to Comilla (a regional distribution center) for plugging in the carrying van so that the temperature of the van remain within expected range for the rest of the enroute toward Dhaka. Moreover, Abdul Monem Limited also pay an extra charge to the carrier company for the high time variability (more than the 24 hours). Considering the above transportation system of IGLOO Ice-cream, what other transportation charges can be expected and why?arrow_forward
