Please address the following:
Relative to the U.S. distribution network, calculate the costs associated
with running the existing system. Assume that 40% of the volume
arrives in Seattle and 60% in Los Angeles, and the port processing fee
for federal processing at both locations is $5.00 per CBM. Assume that
everything is transferred to the Kansas City distribution center by rail,
where it is unloaded and quality checked. Assume that all volume is
then transferred by truck to the nine existing warehouses in the United
States.
