He believed the e-platform can help Fantastic to save substantial costs as order is processed electronically and production level can be adjusted easily to address customer demand. The Sales Director supported the suggestion as he can introduce new sales initiative by offering customers "personalized" bottle of orange juice. Customers can design their own logo to be printed on the bottle bought. If based on existing operation, it is not possible to introduce this new initiative as cost is too high. He believed this new sales initiative will bring in 20% increase in sales. (i) (!!) What are the costs of holding inventory at present?
