A supplier for an electronics store has introduced quantity discounts to encourage larger order quantities of cameras. The price schedule is:
| Quantity purchased | Price per unit |
| fewer than 525 | $80 |
| at least 525 | $75 |
Suppose the monthly demand at a retail store that buys from this retailer and resells is 175 units. The supplier charges a fixed cost of $180 per shipment. The cameras are expected to sell well for multiple seasons, so multiple replenishment opportunities are possible.
If the holding cost is 4.0%, and the retailer implements periodic review to achieve 95% service level, how much should the retailer order if it has 500 units in stock?
