Determine (a) the optimal order quantity, (b) the order frequency, and (c) the annual holding and setup cost. If, through automation of the purchasing process, the ordering cost can be cut to $4.00, what will be (d) the new economic order quantity, (e) the order frequency, and (f) annual holding and setup costs?
