What is the inventory control system for Tegdiws? That is, what is the reorder quantity andwhat is the reorder point?Item X is a standard item stocked in a companys inventory of component parts. Each year thefirm, on a random basis, uses about 2,000 of item X, which costs $25 each. Storage costs, whichinclude insurance and cost of capital, amount to $5 per unit of average inventory.
