A component used in a manufacturing facility is ordered from an outside supplier. Estimated demand (in thousands) over the next 10 weeks is in the table below. The components cost 55 cents each and the interest rate used to compute the holding cost is 0.5% per week. The fixed order cost is estimated to be $400.
