Motley Davidson has its engine assembly plant in Milwaukee and its motorcycle assembly plant in Pennsylvania. Engines are transported between the two plants using trucks. Each truck trip costs $700, regardless of how many engines are loaded onto the truck (assume the truck has unlimited capacity). The motorcycle plant assembles and sells 600 motorcycles each day. Each engine costs $500 and the motorcycle plant incurs a holding cost of $0.274 per engine per day.
