(a) Ignoring taxation, calculate the optimum order level of inventory over a one-year planning period using the EOQ model. (b) Estimate the level of safety inventory that should be carried by Toyzrfun Ltd. (c) If Toyzrfun Ltd were to be offered a quantity discount by its suppliers of 1% for orders of 30 000 units or more, evaluate whether it would be beneficial for the company to take advantage of the quantity discount.
