1. You need to ship 18250 lbs of good, which rate will you select to ship your goods? What is the weight break? Assume LTL rate is $1.10 per 100 lbs and TL rate is $0.87 per 100 lbs, and TL minimum load is 20,000 lbs.

Expert Answer

Number of 100 batches in 18250 = 183

Cost under LTL = 183*1.10 = $201.3

Cost under TL = 200*0.87 = 174

Since, TL is giving lower total cost, one will choose the TL rate

Weight break (X)

Equating the two costs

1.1*x = 0.87*200

X= 158.18
