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

a. To calculate the total cost of moving for each option, we need to consider the following factors:

Option A:
- Distance from current location to new location (in kilometers): Let's assume it is 300 km.
- iHaul fee: $1.13/km
- Fuel consumption rating of the truck: 23.5 L/100 km
- Fuel price: $1.05/L (average fuel price)
- Fuel cost: (300 km / 100) * 23.5 L/100 km * $1.05/L

The total cost for Option A would be the sum of the iHaul fee and the fuel cost.

Option B:
- wePack fee by weight: $2.21/kg
- Quote for weight of contents of house: 6500 kg

The total cost for Option B would be 6500 kg * $2.21/kg.

Option C:
- Distance from current location to new location (in kilometers): Let's assume it is 300 km.
- 1,16 foot container rental for 30 days uShip fee: $1.96/km

The total cost for Option C would be 1,16 foot container rental for 30 days * $1.96/km.

b. To calculate the total unit rate (cost per km) for each option, we need to divide the total cost by the distance (in kilometers):

Total unit rate for Option A = (iHaul fee + fuel cost) / 300 km
Total unit rate for Option B = (6500 kg * $2.21/kg) / 300 km
Total unit rate for Option C = ($1.96/km) / 300 km

The factors influencing the unit rates are the fees charged by the respective service providers (iHaul, wePack, uShip) and the transportation costs (fuel costs in case of Option A and distance-based fee in case of Option C).

c. To determine the best option, you would need to consider factors such as cost, convenience, and the specific needs of your company. Compare the total costs of each option calculated in part a. Consider factors like the size and weight of your belongings, the distance you need to travel, and any additional services provided by the companies. Analyze these factors to determine which option offers the best value for your company's specific requirements and budget.
