Victory sells a fixed quantity of 200 bottles of Buzz per week. The estimated storage costs for a bottle of Buzz are $2.00 per annum per bottle.
Delivery from Victory's existing supplier takes two weeks and the purchase price per bottle delivered is
$20. The current supplier charges a fixed $75 order processing charge for each order, regardless of the order size.
Victory has recently been approached by another supplier of Buzz with the following offer:
i. The cost to Victory per bottle will be $19 each.
ii. There will be a fixed order processing charge of $250 regardless of order size.
iii. Delivery time will be one week.
iv. Victory estimates that due to packaging differences, the storage cost per bottle will be $1.80 per annum per bottle.
