Can I get the breakdown of question 2 and how those answers were achieved please?

Evaluate an alternative that involves consolidating all 20-foot container volumes and using only a single consolidation center in Shanghai/Ningbo. Assume that all the existing 20-foot container volumes and the existing consolidation center volumes are sent to this single consolidation center by suppliers. This new consolidation center volume would be packed into 40-foot containers, filled to 96%, and shipped to the United States. The existing 40-foot volume would still be shipped direct from the suppliers at 85% capacity utilization.Show all of your work to show how you derived total costsCompare Grainger's cost using their current method to your alternative(s) methods.
