Oleg Blokhin Sportwear uses, for the goalkeeper gloves, a time sensitive and unstable chemical compound that must be kept in an environment where both temperature and humidity can be controlled. He uses 250 pounds per month of the chemical, estimates the holding cost to be £4.25 (because of spoilage), and estimates order costs to be £20 per order. The cost schedules of four suppliers are as follows: + Quantity 1-49 50-99 100-149 150-249 250-349 350-499 500+ Vendor 1 200-399 400-499 500+ Quantity 1-99 100-199 Price/LB (£) 36.00 34.75 33.55 32.35 Vendor 3 31.25 30.50 30.00 Price/LB (£) 34.50 33.75 32.00 31.25 30.50 Vendor 2 Quantity 1-74 75-149 150-224 225-299 300-374 375-449 450+ Price/LB (£) 35.00 34.00 32.80 31.90 31.40 30.90 30.50 Vendor 4 Quantity 1-199 200-399 400-599+ 600+ Price/LB (£) 36.00 34.00 32.00 30.00
