R & B Beverage is a distributor of beer, wine and soft drinks products. From a main warehouse in Columbus, Ohio,

R & B supplies nearly $1000$ retail stores with beverage products. The warehouse runs its distribution trucks $7$ days a

week.

The warehouse manager has decided to do a detailed study of the inventory costs associated with Bub Beer, the

number$-$one$-$selling R & B beer. She wants to determine how much to order and when to order for Bub Beer that

results in the lowest possible cost.

After tracking sales for the past $10$ weeks, the sales manager can safely assume weekly sales are about $4,000$ cases.

The assumption of constant demand appears appropriate. Considering warehouse cost, rate of return, breakage,

taxes, pilferage and spoilage, the annual inventory holding cost is about $25\%$ of the value of the inventory. R & B

pays about $$16$ per case.

The cost of placing an order includes the salary of purchasers, transportation and receiving costs. All of those costs

total about $$64$ per order regardless of the order quantity. How many cases SHOULD the manager order at a time to minimize total annual inventory carrying cost and

ordering cost. Assume $52$ weeks per year. Round your answer to the nearest integer. SHOW ALL WORK IN THE
