Bold Vision, Inc. must purchase toner from a local supplier. The company does not wish to carry raw material inventory and therefore purchases only enough toner to satisfy the demand of each individual batch of cartridges. Each toner cartridge requires one pound of toner. The raw material supplier offers Bold Vision a purchase discount of $2.00 per pound if the company orders at least 2,000 pounds at a time. Should Bold Vision accept this offer and alter its toner purchase quantity? a) ELS=H2DSPdP=0.21302(62552)(100)17366251736=625 cartridges
