Case Questions: Coals to New Castle
How many round trips should the vessel make if the objective is to haul the most coal within one year? (The number of voyages can include a fraction since this would mean that a portion of the last voyage would be completed in the first days of the following year.)
How many round trips should the vessel make if the objective is to haul the coal at the lowest cost per ton within one year? (The number of voyages can include a fraction, since this would mean that a portion of the last voyage would be completed in the first days of the following year.)
