Overall cost of shipping refrigerators

Assignment Help Mathematics
Reference no: EM13961204

We manufacture refrigerators in Nashville, TN. The petroleum crisis has raised the price of gasoline to $3.75 for regular and diesel to $4.35 per gallon. In January, they were $3.00 and $3.50 respectively. Diesel engines get about 30% better mileage than gasoline engines.  We are considering acquiring and running our own trucks to deliver our refrigerators to the wholesalers in the future. 

  1. What factors should we consider in evaluating the cost of this option over the next year? 
  2. How do they affect the overall cost of shipping our refrigerators? 
  3. Is this a breakeven question?  Why or Why not?
  4. Is this an accounting question?  Why or Why not?
  5. Is it a forecasting question? Why or why not?
  6. Is it a simulation question? Why or why not?
  7. Is it an optimization question? Why or why not?
  8. Which approach would you recommend? Why or why not?
