Norman Baker and
Linda Johnson discuss how to ship their goods to Florida Soft.
Linda: Why not send those H 24 by air? Sending goods by air is faster than
sea.
Nor.: But isn’t it more expensive? We have to keep our priceslow –
lower than our competitors.
Linda: Now, let’s look at the figures. It’ll make about 350 USD per tonne by
air to Lincoln
and only 60 USD per cubic metre by sea.
Nor.: Yeah, sending by air is almost six times as expensive as sending by sea.
Linda: But can’t you see? We’re speaking about different things.
These are tones and those are cubic metres. See what I’m driving at?
Nor.: No.
Linda: Hm…O.K. Say, you have a container with a volume of 3 cubic metres and
weighing 1 tonne. How much will it make to Lincoln-both by air a by sea?
Nor.: Let me see. So, we take three
times sixty which makes one hundred and eighty by sea and three hundred and
fifty by air.
Linda: That’s right. And if the container is 7 cubic metres and
one tonne, as we have in case with our H 24s?
Nor.: In this case we take seven times
sixty which makes four hundred… four hundred and it’s still fifty by air? O.K.,
so, we have four hundred and twenty-that’s by sea, twenty and by seventy
dollars less, if it’s by air… I bet, you’re right, Linda.
Linda: Yes. As a matter of fact, because of their volumes and weights some
goods are often sent more cheaply by air. Those are shoes, computers,
televisions, radios, refrigerators.
Nor.: And H 24s?
Linda: Of course!!!
