The Given Scenario is as follows
Your company uses freight contractors to move truckload lots of product from production
facilities to customer distribution centers. Production facilities are located in Las Vegas NV,
Cleveland OH, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. Production costs are the same at each facility.
The availability of production capacity at each facility is not yet known, but it may not always be
possible to ship from the closest facility. You will build a spreadsheet that can be used to
compute the cost of any proposed trucking plan.
The demand for next month is as follow:

City State Truckloads

San Francisco CA 85

Denver CO 162

Chicago IL 304

Dallas TX 120
In the United States, the cost of contracted linehaul trucking is about $1.45 per mile. Delays
associated with crossing the border from Ciudad Juarez to El Paso TX adds about $75 per
truckload.
The given Spreadsheet is as follows

So according to Requirements I will answer the asked questions.

 Exercise Instructions

Wall Exercise
You are to design/build a spreadsheet
model to help you create a bid to build a
wall. You will offer two options: 1) Lava
Rock, or 2) Brick. Both walls will be built
by crews of two. Crews will work three
eight-hour days to build either type of
wall. The wall will be 20 feet long, 6 feet
tall, and 2 feet thick. Wages will be $10
per hour per person. You will have to add
20% to wages to cover fringe benefits.
Lava Rock will cost $3 per cubic foot. Brick
will cost $2 per cubic foot. Your bid must
add a profit margin of 30% to your
expected cost.

The bid for the lava rock wall is $1684.80,

including $388.80 in profit.

The bid for the brick wall is $1372.80,

including $316.80 in profit.
