Abigails auto repair uses 500 oil filters every month


Abigail's Auto Repair uses 500 oil filters every month. Abigail has just taken a course in supply chain management, and as a result has solicited two new suppliers for these packs, with the following price structures:

Supplier A

Supplier B

Quantity       

Unit Price

Quantity

Unit Price

1-299

$9.00

1-299

  8.00

300-449

  8.50

600+

   7.00

 450+

  7.00

Using either supplier, Abigail pays $20 to place an order, and annual holding cost is 20% of purchase price. Which supplier should be chosen, at what order quantity? What will be the total cost? Support your recommendation with numerical analysis.
