You are about to begin a summer internship in Logistics working for a company Express Mover that provides packaging and shipping services to customers moving large amounts of materials from 2,000 pounds (Lbs.) and up. Your employees go onsite to a customer's location - provide the necessary packaging materials (boxes, tape), package the items and then ship them to their new location. Customer charges are based on both the volume and weight of their shipments as well as some special handling factors. You have created an Excel workbook to estimate the price to a specific customer's shipment. You hope to eventually use this as a template for future shipments - just substituting the new bill of lading. This bill of lading - found on worksheet packlist, contains the list of all boxes to be included in the shipment together with information on their individual box sizes and weight The workbook you have prepared contains four worksheets as follows: packlist -contains a list of boxes that have been assembled and packed for moving, including the box size (identified by letter code), the box weight (lbs.), whether it is fragile (True/False) and the estimated value if an item is considered to be High Value and requires insurance. This field will be blank for items not considered high value. boxes-contains information about each standard box size including its dimensions in inches, its cost to pack&load, if it's less than 100 pounds or 100 pounds or more, and a factor needed for shipping to calculate truck volume needed. ship - contains information on volume and weight limits by truck type and the number of miles this shipment will be sent. Also included on this worksheet are some conversion factors that may be needed in your calculations handling-contains information on cost percentages expected to package fragile items based on the item weight and additional cost percentages for insurance on high value items. To calculate this surcharge for fragile items of less than 20 lbs. include a surcharge of 25%, for items that are at least 20 lbs. but less than 50 lbs, include an additional surcharge of 30% etc. So if an item costs $10 for packaging and loading and is fragile - if it is weighted 45 lbs. - the surcharge would be 30% x $10 or $3. To calculate the value of insurance for high value items multiply the value of the item (in column High value) by the insurance rate. So a $1000 with a 7.5% insurance rate would require a $75 surcharge for insurance. You now need to complete the necessary formulas to perform the calculations for your estimate. 6. In cell boxes!B14 calculate the volume in cubic feet (CF) that will be required on the truck for all size A boxes. Remember that box sizes are given above in inches. This formula should work when copied across the row for each corresponding box size, and if the number of boxes for each size box varies. For example - count the number of size A boxes and then multiply that number for the box dimensions in the above column. Then, divide that value by the conversion to cubic ft - located on the ship worksheet.
