a. Calculate the total cost of moving from your current location to your new location for each of the options.?

Option A: Renting a moving truck and towing vehicle. 16 ft cube truck, iHaul fee $1.13/km, Fuel consumption rating 23.5 L/100 km, the customer pays for fuel.

Option B: Hiring professional movers and driving your own vehicle. wePack fee by weight $2.21/kg, Quote for weight of contents of house 6500 kg.

Option C: Shipping your belongings in a storage container and driving your own vehicle, 1,16 foot container rental for 30 days uShip fee $1.96/km

Note: For your calculations, use an average fuel price of $1.05/L. The fuel consumption rating for your personal vehicle is 7.9 L/100 km. HINT: to complete this part of the project you will need to determine the distance from your current location to your new location.

b. Calculate and compare the total unit rate (cost per km) for each option. What factors influence the unit rates?

c. What option is the best option for you and your company? Justify your decision.

so what distance are you moving?

then, calculate costs for each option.

Okay, thank you :)

To calculate the total cost of moving for each option, we need to consider different factors such as fees, fuel consumption, and distance. First, we'll need to determine the distance from your current location to your new location. Let's assume the distance is 200 km for this explanation.

a. Calculate the total cost for each option:

Option A: Renting a moving truck and towing vehicle.
- Distance: 200 km
- iHaul fee: $1.13/km
- Fuel consumption rating: 23.5 L/100 km
- Fuel price: $1.05/L

Total cost = (iHaul fee * distance) + (fuel consumption * distance * fuel price)
= ($1.13/km * 200 km) + (23.5 L/100 km * 200 km * $1.05/L)

Option B: Hiring professional movers and driving your own vehicle.
- wePack fee by weight: $2.21/kg
- Quote for weight of contents of house: 6500 kg

Total cost = wePack fee * weight of contents
= $2.21/kg * 6500 kg

Option C: Shipping your belongings in a storage container and driving your vehicle.
- 1,16-foot container rental for 30 days
- uShip fee: $1.96/km

Total cost = container rental fee + (uShip fee * distance)
= (container rental fee) + ($1.96/km * 200 km)

b. Calculate the total unit rate (cost per km) for each option:

To calculate the unit rate, divide the total cost by the distance traveled for each option.

Unit rate for Option A = Total cost of Option A / Distance
Unit rate for Option B = Total cost of Option B / Distance
Unit rate for Option C = Total cost of Option C / Distance

Factors influencing the unit rates include fees, fuel consumption, weight, and distance traveled.

c. To determine the best option, compare the total costs and unit rates of each option. Consider factors such as convenience, time, and budget. Choose the option that provides the most value based on your specific needs and preferences.
