Previously, the given statement is "If the engines are crated so that they can be shipped at the rate of $3.50 per kilogram with the freight bill computed only on the actual weight shipped." the answer is $630 per engine.(please do show solutions how did it arrived to that answer) Likewise, how about if this is now the situation (stated below)?

JRT Motors Inc. has been shipping its Suzuki engines in containers to avoid the necessary crating of the engines.

JRT Motors Inc. will pay freight on container load of 40 tons, regardless of whether or not the container is completely filled with engines.

Record shows that due to engine size, JRT Motors Inc. has shipped only 30 tons per container.

Freight of container cost $3.00 per kilogram.

If the engines are crated so that they can be shipped at the rate of $3.50 per kilogram with the freight bill computed only on the actual weight shipped.

The cost of crating would be $50 per engine and would increase the shipping weight from 1500 kg to 1520 kg per engine.

a. How much more economical shipping the engine in crates, than in containers?
b. Should JRT Motors Inc. ship the engines in crates or in containers?

Please show a clear, complete and step-by-step solutions as well as essential formulas to be considered.

Expert Solution

Actual weight shipped = 1500 kg per engine

Cost of crating = $50 per engine

Crating increase shipping to 1520 kg per engine

Freight of container cost $3.00 per kilogram.

If the engines are crated so that they can be shipped at the rate of $3.50 per kilogram with the freight bill computed only on the actual weight shipped.

a. (1500 - 50 ) - (( 1520 × 3.50 ) - ( 1500 × 3 ))

= 1450 - 820

= $630 per engine

b. JRT Motors Inc. ship the engines in containers because otherwise in crates it has to bear freight and crating charges.

Acme typically produces three engines per day. Some of the engines pass the quality control inspection on the first try and are ready to be shipped; others need to be retooled.

Acme typically produces three engines per day. Some of the engines pass the quality control inspection on the first try and are ready to be shipped; others need to be retooled. The probability of an engine needing further work is 0.05. If the engine is ready to be shipped, the company makes a profit of $10,000. If it needs to be retooled, it ultimately costs the company $2000. (a) Find the pmf of the number of engines that are ready...

Classical Mechanics problem: See if you can prove the so-called virial theorem. This is a statement that relates the average kinetic energy of a stable system to the potential energy of the system. It applies when the force between two particles of the system has a corresponding potentual energy U of the form U = kr^n, where r is the separation of the particles and n is some real number. So, suppose a mass m moves in a circular orbit...
