The Onion Shack currently purchases 120,000 bags of onions each year at a price of $100 per bag (a bag is ten pounds). Onion Shack has historically purchased in lots of 3000 bags. Transit time and capacity vary as indicated in the table (lead time is 2 days more than transit time). The safety inventory that Onion Shack requires is 30% of lead time demand and the holding cost for a bag is 15% of cost.
