Expert Solution

Answer: D = Demand (quantity demand per year) = average monthly demand*12= 725*12= 8700

S = Setup costs (order cost) = $55

H = Holding costs = $4 per year

EOQ, Economic order quantity = √(2SD / H) = 131.90 ~132
Supplier should be used is Allen Mfg. Because if we order 132 units, then unit price in Allen Mfg is less in the case of of 1-499.
