The shipping fee is based upon the dimensional weight or the actual weight, whichever is greater.

3. Displacement (ship) - Wikipedia

   Shipboard stability computer programs can be used to calculate a vessel's displacement. The process of determining a vessel's displacement begins with measuring its draft. [3] This is accomplished by means of its "draft marks". A merchant vessel has three matching sets: one mark each on the port and starboard sides forward, midships, and astern ...

4. Gross margin - Wikipedia

   Using gross margin to calculate selling price Given the cost of an item, one can compute the selling price required to achieve a specific gross margin. For example, if your product costs $100 and the required gross margin is 40%, then Selling price = $ 100 1 − 40 % = $ 100 0.6 = $ 166.67 {\displaystyle {\text{Selling price}}={\frac {\$100}{1 ...
