You are on the acquisition team for the Texas 4000 (T4K) bike ride that traditionally goes from Austin to Anchorage and takes place each summer. Recently, we have added a route through the Appalachian Mountains. While doing your research on the ride, you have discovered a number of items that are consistent with what you learned in OM 235, and hopefully you can apply the correct tools to help solve the T4K operational problems. ) The first thing you notice is that the riders for T4K need matching burnt orange Longhorn helmets. As you investigate the possibilities, you have uncovered a supplier who will provide helmets with the following characteristics: the purchase price for the helmet is $149 per helmet at a monthly volume of 200. The purchasing group charges $320 each time a P.O. is issued. The APR interest rate is 14.4% and the monthly storage fee is $0.90 per helmet. Assume demand is known and inventory can be replenished
