A car is bought at a price of $18, 600 and shipped to Nassau. The shipping options are listed below.
\n" ); document.write( "OPTION A
\n" ); document.write( "COST: $1,200
\n" ); document.write( "TIME: 10 DAYS
\n" ); document.write( "OPTION B
\n" ); document.write( "COST: $1,500
\n" ); document.write( "TIME: 3 DAYS
\n" ); document.write( "Customs’ duty is paid on the TOTAL COST which includes shipping and handling.
\n" ); document.write( "The rates are:
\n" ); document.write( "70 % if the total cost is less than $ 20,000
\n" ); document.write( "80 % if the total cost is more than $ 20,000
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate:
\n" ); document.write( "a) The customs’ duty paid if the car is shipped by option B
\n" ); document.write( ".80(18600+1500) = .8(20100) = $16,080
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b) The total cost when shipped by option B
\n" ); document.write( "18,600 + 1500 + 16080 = $36,180
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When the car is shipped by option A, the total cost is $ 33, 660
\n" ); document.write( "c) How much money is saved by using Option A instead of option B?
\n" ); document.write( "36180 - 33660 = $2,520
\n" ); document.write( "Mr. Rolle decided to ship by option A. Additional expenses arose from the rental of a car for 7 days at $75.00 per day.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "d) How much did he save altogether over option B?
\n" ); document.write( "2520 - 7(75) = $1995 over opt B, when renting a car for 7 days
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
