Question: For Ibuprofen heath knows that: unit cost: c = 4 0 4 Naira / pack demand: D = 6 8 0 packs / year ordering

For Ibuprofen heath knows that:
unit cost: c =404 Naira/pack
demand: D =680 packs/year
ordering cost: A =2100 Naira/order
holding cost: r*c =56 Naira/pack*year
How many packs of Ibuprofen should Joshua order to minimize the total cost?
Alan runs a second pharmacy on the other side of town. He has been ordering for each location individually from a wholesaler. He realizes that he can save some money by consolidating the two orders into one single order. The costs per pack for both pharmacies are exactly the same (use A, c and r*c values from Part 1). The annual demand for Ibuprofen in the second pharmacy is 840 packs.
What is the consolidated optimal order quantity (in packs of Ibuprofen)?
If Alan places one consolidated order (as in Part 2) instead of placing two separate orders, how much money will he save? Round to one decimal place
