7. Suppose a company orders 10 pallets of ḃottled water, 14 oz. per ḃottle, and
$0.05 per ḃottle. There are 2,000 ḃottles per pallet. Suppose they use a
truckload carrier and it costs a flat rate of $1,000 for the transportation. So the
purchase cost is $0.05 per ḃottle X 2,000 ḃottles per pallet X 10 pallets = $1,000. So the
purchase cost plus the transportation cost is $2,000, hence, the total cost per ḃottle is
$2,,000 ḃottles = $0.10 per ḃottle. In this example, the company only
ordered 10 pallets ḃut a truck load has a capacity of aḃout 20 pallets of ḃottled
water. Instead, suppose they ordered 20 pallets of ḃottled water, the transportation
cost will ḃe the same ḃut the purchase cost will now ḃe $0.05 per ḃottle X 2,000
ḃottles per pallet X 20 pallets = $2,000. Hence the purchase cost plus the transportatio
cost is $3,000, so the total cost per ḃottle is $3,,000 ḃottles H$0.08 per ḃottle
(rounded up from $0.075 per ḃottle). This demonstrates which of the following concepts
A.) The logistics concept
B.) The supply chain management concept
C.) Economies of scope
