Question: d . ( 1 0 points ) Suppose your management has indicated that they would be willing to live with an inventory policy that yields

d.(10 points) Suppose your management has indicated that they would be willing to live with an
inventory policy that yields an average of 625 units short year. What would be the reorder point
that would yield those results?
e.(20 points) Suppose the supplier has offered a quantity discount schedule for the item in question, as
follows. If you order at least 400 units at a time, but less than 1500 units, the price drops to $119.00
per unit. If between 1500 and 2499.99 units (inclusive) are ordered, the price is $118.00 each. If at
least 2500 are ordered, the price drops to $117.00 each. If less than 400 units are ordered, the base
price of $120 still applies. Determine what the order quantity would be with the quantity discounts,
determine how the reorder point would change (if indeed it would; by the way, choose the quantity
first, then determine the reorder point), and determine the total cost of the new plan. (Note that
this question does not assume the management supposition in part (d) above.)
