At that time, HTD would receive $172,000/ truck in U.S funds FAS (free alongside ship) at the discharging vessel in Doha. If the buyer wants to change the selling term to FOB (free on board), which means that the buyer pays for the transportation of goods, HTD can give a discount of $2109/truck, which is considered as the expense of transportation to Doha when HTD has the FAS term.
Answer question 3 with regard to changing the terms of sale to delivery at port in Baltimore. The buyer would unload the trucks from the railcars
The buyer wants to change the terms of sale to delivery at port in Baltimore and unload the trucks from the railcars, HTD can offer a discount of $ 1790/truck (handling = $200 + ocean freight rate = $1,440 + insurance = $150), which is the total expense including fee for handling, the ocean freight rate, and the insurance fee.
There is an interest rate that would make HDT change from one routing to another An rate of interest that can cause a change in the routes would be calculated by
Assume that interest rate = i, we have $109, 470 + ($172,000 x 50 x 22 / 365i) = $137,300 => i = 0.054 = 5.4% (<8%)
If i= 5.4% the cost will decrease compare to i = 8%. When substituting this rate in the equation for the Chicago route, the cost is less than the Baltimore route.
If it was the year 2005 and the borrowing cost of money was 12% per year. The buyer would pay as the trucks were delivered, and the company should only pay for

Thus,they were very expensive to ship.Bridgewater owned a fleet of trucks which had been expanded from 5 to 10 since the addition of wood ovens to the business. Even though the fleet represented about a $2 million investment. Shipping full – load orders in compnay owned trucks was not uneconomic. But more than hald of all shipments went out in partial loads using common carriers and contract haulers. Considering traffic management.dispathing fleet costs. freignt bills. packing cost and rental charges for public warehouse space. Total shipping costs were running about 17 % of sales in 1985.

After the calculations you end up coming out with a rate of 14.87%. The third and final part of question three asks what rate you will need if the interest is compounded semiannually. All you have to do is double the amount of terms and you will come out with a lower number of 7.177%. Since the interest is compounded semiannually that means that you will need to times that number by two and you come out with your final number of 14.35%.
2. If you had a payment that was due you in 5 years for $50,000 and you could earn a 5% rate of return, how much
