Q6. (15 points) Miramichi Bakery Company is in Miramichi, NB. One of their products is dark sweet raisin bread made using a 17th century recipe brought overseas from France during early colonial days. The Miramichi Co. bakes dark sweet bread from frozen dough that it buys from a regional supplier. For the sake of quality, the company does not want to store its frozen dough for more than one week. For orders of more than 576 cases, the delivery from their supplier is free (saving the company $15.00 per order.) A case contains 144 frozen sweet breads. Miramichi Bakery has collected its total weekly sales demand for sweet bread (in cases) for the past 10 weeks. Operations management believes that sales demand of sweet bread is increasing.

Required: Determine if and when Miramichi Bakery can take advantage of the quantity discount for free delivery.
