Question 2. (11 points) Part A. A beer distributor sells 500 cases of regular 12-oz. Budweiser per week for 50 weeks each year - assume that there are 50 weeks in a year - from its warehouse in Central Austin. The distributor currently orders a one-week supply of 500 cases at the beginning of each week from a supplier at a purchase cost of $8 per case. They also pay a fixed cost of $100 for each delivery. The beer distributor estimates its annual per-case inventory holding cost (cost of capital, insurance, etc.) at 25 percent of purchase cost. (a) What is the distributor's annual ordering plus holding costs (in S)? (1) (b) What is the distributor's ordering plus holding costs (in $) per case of beer?
