Snake Pliskin is the owner of the "Duke of New York" bar and restaurant. The restaurant is open year round except for a two week vacation period during the summer. Mr. Pliskin uses 5000 one liter bottles of a very fine imported wine, called "Tote Katze", every year. This particular effervescent wine costs $3 per bottle and is served in whole bottles only since it loses its bubbles quickly upon opening. The wine maker, Meyer-Lutzenhardt Wineries, charges a $5 order-processing fee, and a handling fee that depends on the price per bottle (apparently more expensive wine requires special handling). The handling fee (paid on a per order basis) is twice the cost of a single bottle of wine. Mr. Pliskin has calculated that his annual holding costs for "Tote Katze" are 20% of the purchase price of a bottle. It takes two weeks for the wine to arrive once an order has been placed. Require: a. What is the economic order
