Q. catering manager of LaVista Hotel, Lisa Ferguson, is disturbed by amount of silverware she is losing every week. Last Friday night, when her crew tried to set up for a banquet for 500 people, y did not have enough knives. She decides she needs to order some more silverware, but needs to take pros of any quantity discounts her vendor will offer. For a small order (2,000 or fewer pieces), her vendor quotes a price of $1.80/piece. If she orders 2,001-5,000 pieces, price drops to $1.60/piece. 5,001-10,000 pieces bring price to $1.40/piece and 10,001 and above reduce price to $1.25. Lisa's order costs are $200 per order, her annual holding costs are 5% and annual demand is 45,000 pieces.
