ABC Corporation resells one type of candle. It has 250 working days. Each day, it sells an average of 500 boxes but may sometimes sell a maximum of 600 boxes. The supplier takes an average of 5 days to deliver the order. During busier times, the supplier may take 7 days. Based on ABC’s records, ordering cost average P400 per order. Storage cost per box average P5 per year. There is also an opportunity cost of 1% per year for every peso invested in inventories. Each box of candles costs P450.
