(b) TNG SDN BHD expects annual demand for product X to be 255,380 units. Product X has a selling price of RM19 per unit and is purchased for RM11 per unit from a supplier, MKR SDN BHD. TNG places an order for 50,000 units of product X at regular intervals throughout the year. Because the demand for product X is to some degree uncertain, TNG maintains a safety (buffer) inventory of product X which is sufficient to meet demand for 28 working days. The cost of placing an order is RM25 and the storage cost for Product X is 10 cents per unit per year.

TNG normally pays trade suppliers after 60 days but MKR has offered a discount of 1% for cash settlement within 20 days.

TNG SDN BHD has a short-term cost of debt of 8% and uses a working year consisting of 365 days.
