For each of the following statements, select True if it can be concluded from the information provided. Otherwise, select False. For each of the following statements, select True if the statement is true based on the information provided. Otherwise, select False.

TrueFalse
Considering both the CEO’s guidelines and total project cost, Vendor A is the lowest-cost vendor that meets all of the CEO’s guidelines.
Vendor A has the lowest shipping-to-equipment price ratio.
Two vendors do not satisfy the CEO’s electrical supplier requirement.

• Considering both the CEO’s guidelines and total project cost, Vendor A is the lowest-cost vendor that meets all of the CEO’s guidelines.

Vendor A and Vendor C are the only vendors that meet all CEO guidelines. Vendor A's total cost is $545,000, while Vendor C's is $550,000.

Therefore, Vendor A is the lowest-cost vendor that meets all of the CEO’s guidelines. Answer: True.

• Vendor A has the lowest shipping-to-equipment price ratio.

We need the lowest shipping-to-equipment price ratio. A has the lowest shipping cost (numerator) and the second highest equipment price (denominator) after C. So, C is the only contender. A's shipping-to-equipment price ratio is 10,000 / 510,000 ≈ 0.0196. C's shipping-to-equipment price ratio is 15,000 / 515,000 ≈ 0.0291. A's ratio is lower. Answer: True.

• Two vendors do not satisfy the CEO’s electrical supplier requirement.

Only Vendor D uses an unapproved supplier (Rio Motors). Vendors A, B, and C use ABB or Schneider, as required. Answer: False.


Correct answer:

Considering both the CEO’s guidelines and total project cost, Vendor A is the lowest-cost vendor that meets all of the CEO’s guidelines. "True"

Vendor A has the lowest shipping-to-equipment price ratio. "True"

Two vendors do not satisfy the CEO’s electrical supplier requirement. "False"
