Answer 1

Particulars	Quantity	Cost
Fuel oil	34 tons	34 x $97 = $3298
Diesel oil	2 + 1 = 3 tons	3 x $132 = $396
Total weight loaded over the ship (stores + bunkers)	300 + 700 = 1000 tons	1000 x $14 = $14000
Commission		6% of ($14000) = $840
Running cost per day		$3000
Port charges (Rotterdam + Tampa + Panama + Canal + Vancouver)		$1000+$10000+$50000+$11000 = $72000
Total Voyage estimate		$93534
