Worked Examples

Example 1: Small Package

For a 2 lb package measuring 10" × 8" × 6":

1. Weight = 2 lbs
2. Volume = 10 × 8 × 6 = 480 cubic inches
3. Base Cost = (2 × $1.20) + (480 × $0.005) = $2.40 + $2.40 = $4.80
4. Fuel Surcharge = $4.80 × 10% = $0.48
5. Total Cost = $4.80 + $0.48 = $5.28

Example 2: Medium Package

For a 10 lb package measuring 15" × 12" × 10":

1. Weight = 10 lbs
2. Volume = 15 × 12 × 10 = 1,800 cubic inches
3. Base Cost = (10 × $1.20) + (1,800 × $0.005) = $12.00 + $9.00 = $21.00
4. Fuel Surcharge = $21.00 × 10% = $2.10
5. Total Cost = $21.00 + $2.10 = $23.10
