Finished drums are shipped from the factory to the warehouse as soon as production is completed. The drums can be shipped by either truck or mail. One truck can carry 200 drums. If the batch is less than 200 drums, then less than a truckload will be used. The cost of full or less-than-full truckload is the same. If drums are shipped by mail, the shipping cost is proportional to the number of drums being mailed. Transportation costs are as follows:
| Origin and destination | cost per truckload | cost to mail one drum |
|---|---|---|
| Same region | $15,000 | $150 |
| Different regions on continent | $20,000 | $200 |
| Between continent and Fardo | $45,000 | $400 |
Transportation times are as follows:
| Origin and destination | truck | |
|---|---|---|
| Same region | 7 days | 1 day |
| Different regions on continent | 7 days | 1 day |
| Between continent and Fardo | 14 days | 2 days |
