Each batch, including shipping and taxes costs £2,500. The cost of placing and processing each order, regardless of quantity, is £100. Records show the following average stock holdings and associated costs: 2018 500 units £1,200 2019 750 units £1,700 2020 1,250 units £2,700 Required: Required: c) For each of the two areas above, explain the results and advise Simeon on the potential impacts of unexpected delays in the supply chain.
