1) As per Policies Tab: extra insurance cost=300-250=50 £
=> 10/kg means=50/10=5 £

2) As per Shipping table: order C is zone 3, includes wt of 24 kg, extra wt=10 kg
=> total cost=15 £+10*0.5 £=20 £ YES
Order I (zone 4), max wt=26 kg, extra wt=29- 26=3kg, cost=£3*0.5=1.5 £
Total cost=17+1.5 £ NO
Order G (zone 5), max wt=28kg, hence standard cost=20 £ YES

3)Order E is in zone 4, we need to mark YES for Zones 1-3.
Order D,H,J all lie in zones 4 -6 , Hence NO NO NO

"­at a cost of £1 for each additional 10 per kilogram of insurance."
should not it be:
at a cost of £1 for each additional 10 pounds of insurance

Though I understand this is a 2024-2025 official guide question, but I think that there is a typo error in the book?

­RO1:

The Orders and Zones map shows that Order C’s destination is in Zone 3. The Shipping Table says that standard shipping without extra insurance for an order going to Zone 3 costs £15 for a weight of up to 24 kg, plus £0.50 for each kilogram in excess of 24. So, if Order C weighs exactly 34 kg, which is 10 kg in excess of 24, standard shipping without extra insurance for Order C costs exactly £15 + (10 x £0.50) = £20.

The correct answer is Yes.

RO2:

The Orders and Zones map shows that Order I’s destination is in Zone 4. The Shipping Table says that standard shipping without extra insurance for an order going to Zone 4 costs £17 for a weight of up to 26 kg, plus £0.50 for each kilogram in excess of 26. So, if Order I weighs 29 kg, which is 3 kg in excess of 26, standard shipping without extra insurance for Order I costs £17 + (3 x £0.50) = £18.50, which is not exactly £20.

The correct answer is No.

RO3:

The Orders and Zones map shows that Order G’s destination is in Zone 5. The Shipping Table says that standard shipping without extra insurance for an order going to Zone 5 costs exactly £20 for a weight of up to 28 kg. So, if Order G weighs 24 kg, which is less than 28 kg, standard shipping without extra insurance for Order G costs exactly £20.

The correct answer is Yes.

RO1:

The Orders and Zones map shows that Order E's destination is in Zone 4, while Order D’s is in Zone 6. The Shipping Table says that with standard shipping the guaranteed maximum shipping time is 5 weekdays for orders going to Zone 4, but 7 weekdays for orders going to Zone 6. Assuming that each order shown on the map is shipped using standard shipping, the guaranteed maximum shipping time is 5 weekdays for Order E but 7 weekdays for Order D. Thus, Order D's guaranteed maximum shipping time is not less than Order E’s.

The correct answer is No.

RO2:

As explained above, with standard shipping Order E’s guaranteed maximum shipping time is 5 days. The Orders and Zones map shows that Order H is going to Zone 5. The Shipping Table says that with standard shipping the guaranteed maximum shipping time is 6 weekdays for orders going to Zone 5. Since we’re still assuming that each order shown on the map is shipped using standard shipping, Order H’s guaranteed maximum shipping time is 6 weekdays, which is not less than Order E’s.

The correct answer is No.

RO3:

The Orders and Zones map shows that Order J, like Order E, is going to Zone 4. Since any two orders going to the same zone with standard shipping have the same guaranteed maximum shipping time, Order J’s guaranteed maximum shipping time is the same as Order E’s, not less than Order E’s.

The correct answer is No.
