Richard’s Sporting Goods needs to fill an online order for 164 hockey sticks. The manager is considering shipping the order by truck to the customer in Wisconsin, at a carrier charge of $105. The delivery will take five days and the order is paid on delivery (Richard’s doesn’t get paid until the sticks are received). The hockey sticks are valued at $85 for each stick and Richard’s uses a 25 percent annual inventory carrying charge.

a. What will be the total shipping and transit inventory cost of the shipment? (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

b-1. If the shipment could be delivered in only 2 days at a cost of $155, then what will be the total shipment cost? (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. )

b-2. If the manager chose the above option, how much money would be saved or lost? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer #1

Total value of hockey sticks = $85 / stick x 164 sticks = $13940

Total annual inventory carrying charge ( @25% ) = $ 0.25 x 13940 = $3485

Total daily inventory carrying charge = $3485/365 = $9.547

  1. Delivery time of order = 5 days

Therefore, total inventory carrying charges for 5 days = $9.547 x 5 = $47.735

Carrier charge = $105

Therefore, total carrier plus inventory charges = $105 + $47.735 = $152.735

b-1) Shipping cost for 2 days transit = $155

Total inventory carrying charges for 2 days = $9.547 x 2 = $19.094

Total carrier plus inventory charges = $155 + $19.094 = $174.09 ( rounded to 2 decimal places )

B2) It is to be noted that total cost of 2 days transit shipping > Total cost of 5 days transit shipping

Amount of money will be lost = $174.09 - $152.735 = $21.355 ( $21.35 rounded to 2 decimal places )

AMOUNT OF MONEY WHICH WILL BE LOST = $21.35
