Victor sells a line of upscale evening dresses in his boutique. He charges $300 per dress, and sales average 30 dresses per week.
Currently, Victor orders a 10-week supply at a time from the manufacturer each time his inventory position drops to 100 dresses.
He pays $150 per dress, and it takes two weeks to receive each delivery. Victor estimates his administrative cost of placing each order at $225.
