Here are the solutions to the problems: Question 2.1.4 Step 1: Calculate the total cost for Option 1 (Via the N2). The distance is 195 km. The total toll fee cost is R112.00. Since no other costs are specified for this route, the total cost for Option 1 is the toll fee. Total Cost (Option 1) = R112.00 Step 2: Calculate the total cost for Option 2 (Via the R56). The distance is 260 km. There are no toll fees for this route. The vehicle's running cost (excluding fuel) is R3.50 per km. The fuel cost is R1.75 per km. First, calculate the combined cost per kilometre for Option 2: Cost per km (Option 2) = R3.50/km + R1.75/km = R5.25/km Now, calculate the total cost for Option 2 by multiplying the cost per kilometre by the distance: Total Cost (Option 2) = R5.25/km × 260 km = R1365.00 Step 3: Compare the total costs and justify the most cost-effective route. Total Cost (Option 1) = R112.00 Total Cost (Option 2) = R1365.00 Since R112.00 is significantly less than R1365.00, Option 1 is the most cost-effective route. The most cost-effective route for the company is Option 1 (Via the N2). Question 2.2.1 This question requires "Annexure B" (a stadium layout) which is not provided in the image.
