1 To arrive at an answer, we must first consider the following graph:
The table above shows that the total cost of transportation using ocean and air are $150,000 and $290,000, respectively. On the one hand, air transportation cost involved to deliver the products from one end to the other is more as compared to the cost needed for ocean transportation. However, the total cost of ocean logistics would then amount to $825,000, which is significantly more than that of air logistics at $800,000. Therefore, it is more advisable for SENCO to use air cargo since it is less in overall.
2 The total cost can be derived at using the formula
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + (variable cost per unit x demand))
* Total cost for Ocean trans...
