Average demand: $75,000$ cases of crackers per year

$($demand and lead time uncertainty will be addressed in part B$)$:

$$ Cracker cost: $$5\mathrm{.}50$ per case

$$ Each order delivery cost: $$250$

$$ Carrying cost: $26\%($Money spent on crackers has an alternative investment with annual

interest of $26\%)$

$1)$ Calculate the EOQ:

$2$a$)$ Round up your EOQ solution to the whole case and calculate TAC $($$$).$

$2$b$)$ Round down your EOQ solution to the whole case and calculate TAC $($$$).$

$2$c$)$ For Q $($EOQ$),$ should you:

$$Round up to the whole case?

$$Round down to the whole case?

$$For this product for ACDC $$ it does not matter.?

$3)$ How many times per year do you expect to order the single$-$serve cracker package cases? $($no need to round$)$

$4)$ What do you expect the average number of days between single$-$serve cracker package cases will be$?($no need to round$)$
