a. How do (1), (2), and (3) change if the setup cost K decreases by 10%?

b. How do (1), (2), and (3) change if the annual demand doubles?

c. How do (1), (2), and (3) change if the cost of capital increases by 10%? (For this part, assume that the storage cost s is zero.)

d. How do (1), (2), and (3) change if the changes in parts a, b, and c all occur simultaneously?
