Vivian pays the cost of $30 for each time she submits an order. Vivian uses 25% of item costs to compute annual holding costs and works 240 days in a year.

D. The reorder point is 25 pairs.
E. The average time between two consecutive orders is 20 days.

Answer 1

E. The average time between two consecutive orders is 20 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vivian has sunglasses which costs it $20 each. The inventory holding needs to be for 5 days since the lead time is 5 days for each order. The holding cost for the inventory is $500 for the whole year. There will be 10 days in average when two orders are placed for the sunglasses.
