Exercise 1: Calculating Chargeable Weight

Scenario:

A company is shipping 5 cartons of electronic devices from New York, USA to Tokyo, Japan The dimensions of each carton are 40 cm x 30 cm x 20 cm, and the gross weight of each carton is 15 kg

Question:

1 Calculate the volume weight of each carton using the volume factor of 6000 2 Determine the chargeable weight for the entire shipment

3 If the applicable rate per kg is $5.00, calculate the total freight charge for this shipment

Exercise 2: Determining the Applicable Rate

Scenario:

A shipment of medical equipment is being sent from Paris, France to Sydney, Australia The shipment consists of 3 crates, each with dimensions of 100 cm x 80 cm x 60 cm, and each crate weighs 120 kg

Question:

1 Calculate the volume weight for one crate 2 Determine the total chargeable weight for the shipment 3 Given the following rates, decide which rate should be applied: - General Cargo Rate (GCR): $4.50 per kg

- Specific Commodity Rate (SCR) for medical equipment: $4.00 per kg - Class Rate (CR) for hazardous materials (assume not applicable in this case) 4 Calculate the total freight charge using the appropriate rate

Exercise 3: Currency Conversion and Rounding

Scenario:

A shipment is being sent from Mumbai, India to London, UK, consisting of 10 boxes of textiles The dimensions of each box are 50 cm x 40 cm x 30 cm, and each box weighs 10 kg

Question:

1 Calculate the volume weight for one box 2 Determine the chargeable weight for the entire shipment 3 If the rate is INR 350 per kg, calculate the total freight charge 4 Convert the total freight charge from INR to GBP, assuming 1 GBP = 100 INR 5 Round off the final amount in GBP to the nearest 0.05 GBP

Exercise 4: Handling Special Cargo

Scenario:

A company is shipping live animals (dogs) from Nairobi, Kenya to Moscow, Russia The shipment consists of 2 kennels, each with dimensions of 90 cm x 60 cm x 70 cm The gross weight of each kennel (including the dog) is 50 kg

Question:

1 Calculate the volume weight for one kennel 2 Determine the total chargeable weight for the shipment 3 If the rate for live animals is 150% of the General Cargo Rate (GCR) of $7.00 per kg, calculate the total freight charge

4 Consider any additional surcharges for live animals and adjust the total freight charge accordingly if a 10% surcharge applies

Exercise 5: Minimum Charge Application

Scenario:

A shipment of 8 boxes of books is being sent from Frankfurt, Germany to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The dimensions of each box are 60 cm x 40 cm x 30 cm, and each box weighs 25 kg

Question:

1 Calculate the volume weight for one box 2 Determine the total chargeable weight for the shipment 3 If the applicable rate per kg is $3.00, but the minimum charge for any shipment is $500, determine whether the shipment should be charged based on weight or the minimum charge

4 Calculate the final freight charge for this shipment

Exercise 6: Combined Rate Calculation

Scenario:

A shipment of machinery is being sent from Beijing, China to Johannesburg, South Africa The shipment consists of 4 large crates, each with dimensions of 120 cm x 80 cm x 90 cm The gross weight of each crate is 150 kg

Question:

1 Calculate the volume weight for one crate 2 Determine the total chargeable weight for the shipment 3 If the rates are as follows, determine the best rate to apply: - General Cargo Rate (GCR): $5.00 per kg

- Specific Commodity Rate (SCR) for machinery: $4.50 per kg - Construction Rate: $3.50 per kg plus a $200 handling fee per crate 4 Calculate the total freight charge using the most economical rate
