Ergonomics Inc. sells ergonomically designed office chairs. The company has the following information:

Average demand = 36 units per day

Average lead time = 50 days

Item unit cost = $70 for orders of less than 400 units

Item unit cost = $68 for orders of 400 units or more

Ordering cost = $45

Inventory carrying cost = 25%

The business year is 250 days

Assume there is no uncertainty at all about the demand or the lead time.
