2 Each year, Shopalot Stores sells 10,000 cases of soda.

The company is trying to determine how many cases should be ordered each time. It costs $5 to process each order, and the cost of carrying a case of soda in inventory for one year is 20% of the purchase price. The soda supplier offers Shopalot the schedule of quantity discounts shown in Table 4 (q number of cases ordered per order). Each time an order is placed, how many cases of soda should the company order?
