Neco Model Questions Vol1 2021 Commerce Question 43
Practice objective / multiple choice question 43 from the 2021 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Commerce examination.
A company must transport \(800\) tonnes of goods from Lagos to Kano. Two transport options are available:\n\n- Road: cost \(\N{,}150\) per tonne, transit time 5 days.\n- Rail: cost \(\N{,}100\) per tonne, transit time 9 days.\n\nThe goods must be delivered within 7 days. The company may use a transshipment hub: any load first sent by rail can be transferred to road for the final leg, reducing the total transit time by 2 days (so effective time becomes 7 days) but incurring an additional \(\N{,}20\) per tonne for transshipment. Determine the minimum total cost to meet the deadline and the quantities (in tonnes) sent by each mode, indicating any transshipment.
