Guru Manufacturing has an operation with a six-month requirements schedule given in the table below. They have been following a fixed lot ordering strategy to fulfill the operation's requirements, which costs Guru $350,000 for the six-month planning period. Recently, while attending a supply chain management conference, Sam, Guru's operations manager, met Sarah who is a recently graduated supply chain student and chatted about Guru's operations. Sarah contended that Guru could optimize their requirements planning process leading to reduced overall costs. Capitalizing on the opportunity, Sam hired Sarah as an operations analyst for an annual salary of $80,000 and a bonus of 10% on each dollar she can save Guru on operations. Determined to optimize Guru's requirements planning process, Sarah started collecting data about the process and found that ordering costs Guru $10,000 an order and inventory holding costs Guru $0.50 a unit a month. How much bonus did Sarah make at the end of the six-month planning period
