Assignment:
Floral Beauty, Inc., is a large floral arrangements store located in Eastwood Mall. Bridal Lilies, which are a specially created bunch of lilies for bridal bouquets, cost Floral Beauty $17 each. There is an annual demand for 24,000 Bridal Lilies. The manager of Floral Beauty has determined that the ordering cost is $120 per order, and the carrying cost, as a percentage of the unit cost, is 18%. Floral Beauty is now considering a new supplier of Bridal Lilies. Each lily would cost only $16.50, but to get this discount, Floral Beauty would have to buy shipments of 3,000 Bridal Lilies at a time. Should Floral Beauty use the new supplier and take this discount for quantity buying?
