a) is wrong

b) what is the total annual cost associated with the best order quantity?

c) Coopers-town Inc. discovers that, owing to special manufacturers processes required for the buck's baseballs, It has underestimated the set up time required on a capacity constrained piece of machinery. Coopers-town add another category to the price structure to provide an incentive for large orders and thereby helps reduce the number of steps required. If the Bucks buy 15,000 baseballs or more, the price will drop to $6.30 each. Should the bucks revise their order quantity?

* Try again. Beginning with the lowest price, calculate the EOQ: Beginning with the lowest price, calculate the EOQ EOQ=H2DS, where D is annual demand, S is the ordering cost, and H is the annual holding cost, for each price level until a feasible EOQ is found. The EOQ is feasible if it lies in the range corresponding to its price. If the first feasible EOQ found is for the lowest price level, this quantity is the best lot size. Otherwise, calculate the total cost for the first feasible EOQ and for the larger price break quantity at each lower price level. The quantity with the lowest total cost is optimal. Use the formula for the total annual cost below: C=2Q(H)+QD(S)+PD where Q is the lot size, H is the annual holding cost, D is annual demand, S is the ordering cost, and P is the price per unit. The Bucks Grande exhibition baseball team plays 50 weeks each year and uses an average of 300 baseballs per week. The team orders baseballs from Coopers-Town Inc., a ball manufacturer noted for six-sigma level consistency and high product quality. The cost to order baseballs is $100 per order and the annual holding cost per ball is 39% of the purchase price. Coopers-Town's price structure is shown in the table below. a. How many baseballs should the team buy per order? The team should buy baseballs per order. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
