The question relates to study guide reference B3c(ii).

The correct answer is B. The cost per kilogram/kilometre of sand delivered is the cost of carrying one kilogram of sand for one kilometre. Kilogram kilometres can be calculated by multiplying the weight of goods delivered to each customer by the distance covered. (500 kg x 200km + 180 kg x 1200km = 316,000 kilogram kilometres.) If truck costs are divided by this figure a cost of $0.010 is obtained. Alternative C represents the cost per kilometre travelled (($3,060 / 1,400 km). Alternative A can be obtained by dividing truck cost by 680 kg x 1,400 kilometres = 952,000. This is a meaningless figure as it does not allow for different weights travelling different distances. Finally alternative D represents the average cost per kilogram delivered ($3,060 / 680 kg = $4.50).
