Prefab incurs a holding cost of 20%. What is the optimal lot size for Prefab? What is the annual cost of such a policy? What is the cycle inventory of plywood at prefab? How does it compare with the cycle inventory if the manufacturer does not offer a quantity discount but sells all plywood at $0.96 per square foot?
