1. Assume that original price of the transformer was $500 per unit. Was Gentle electric initially operating at the reorder point? 2. What is Economic Order Quantity when no discount was offered? 3. When Gentle Electric was offered discount, which cost were affected? What happened to Economic Order Quantity? 4. How many order requisitions per year should GE sent? 5. What is the expected total landed cost for transformers based on your suggested ordering policy? 6. What is major learning from this case?
