$20-17$ EOQ, EFFECT OF PARAMETER CHANGES $($continuation of Exercise $20-16).$ Athletic Textiles $($AT$)$ manufactures the soccer jerseys that Fan Base $($FB$)$ sells to its customers.

FB$$s ordering cost per purchase order will be $$30$ using this new technology.

Calculate the EOQ for the soccer jerseys using the revised ordering cost of $$30$ per purchase order. Assume all other data from Exercise $20-16$ are the same. Comment on the result.

Suppose AT proposes to $$assist$$ FB$.$ AT will allow FB customers to order directly from the AT website. AT would ship directly to these customers. AT would pay $$10$ to FB for every soccer jersey purchased by one of FB$$s customers. Comment qualitatively on how this offer would affect inventory management at FB$.$ What factors should FB consider in deciding whether to accept AT$$s proposal?
