Question:

A wholesaler supplies 30 stuffed dolls each day to various shops. Dolls are purchased from the manufacturer in lots of 120 each at Rs 1,200 per lot. Every order incurs a handling charge of Rs 60 plus a freight charge of Rs 250 per lot. Multiple and fractional lots can also be ordered, and all orders are met the next day. The incremental cost is Re 0.60 per year to store a doll in inventory. The wholesaler finances inventory investments by paying its holding company 2% monthly for borrowed funds.
