QuantityPrice
1-1,499$2.50 per unit

a. What is the optimal behaviour?
b. Does the firm take advantage of the lowest price available? Explain.

b. What is total annual cost (excluding item cost) of managing this item on a cost-minimizing basis?
c. In pursuing lowest annual total cost, how many orders should Groundz place annually?
