US Qui Question 1- Inventory Management (LO3) Simeon runs a business that imports tables from China for sale in the UK. The supplier sells these to Simeon in batches of 1,000 units. Historically sales demand has been stable and relatively even throughout the year, at a rate of 2,500 units per month (2018 to 2020). In the period January to June 2021 however this increased to 3,000 per month, and they have run out of stock every month as a result. They have estimated that each stock out has cost them £1,000 each in lost business. Simeon has had this problem before in 2018 (6 stock outs) and 2019 (3 stock outs) but in 2020 he had fixed the problem and achieved no stock out events. 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:
