Stage · review

Approve the Meridian proposal: buy from Zhenhua Polymer Works at $67,760 and sell at $96,800 for a 17.4% gross margin.

Gross profit · margin
$16,833 · 17.4%
Top reasons
  1. 01Lowest supplier offer — $67,760. QTE-2026-031 is $1,760 below the next supplier offer (QTE-2026-032 at $69,520), against the same $96,800 sell price.
  2. 02Margin meets policy — 17.4% gross margin. Gross margin (profit ÷ sell price) clears the 15% margin policy after full landed cost (offer + freight + insurance + duty + financing).
  3. 03Qualified supplier with certification history. Zhenhua Polymer Works is a qualified Polymer Resins (China) with ISO 9001 on record.
Principal risks / assumptions
  1. 01Freight volatility. The recommended corridor (Shenzhen, CN → Chicago, US) costs $7,040; a +15% freight swing cuts margin to 16.3%.
  2. 02EXW Shenzhen — 32 day transit. EXW terms place freight risk with ABIR until destination; 32 days in transit ties up working capital before payment against B/L.
Best alternative · trade-off
QTE-2026-032 — Hanwha Polymer at $69,520. Higher purchase price ($1,760 more) but FOB Busan shift part of the freight risk to the supplier.
