a-1. Calculate the total cost for each supplier. (Rounc Supplier 1 Supplier 2 Total cost Relative to the U.S. distribution network, calculate the cost associated with running the existing system. Assume that 40 percent of the volume arrives in Seattle and 60 percent in Los Angeles and the port processing fee for federal processing at both locations is $8.00 per CBM. Assume that everything is transferred to the Kansas City distribution center by rail, where it is unloaded and quality checked. Assume that all volume is then transferred by truck to the nine existing warehouses in the United States. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
