54. A food processing company uses 25,000 kg of corn flour every year. The quantity-discount price of corn
flour is provided in the table below:
Quantity (kg) Unit price (Rs/kg)

1-749 70
750-1499 65
1500 and above 60
The order processing charges are Rs. 500/order. The handling plus carry-over charge on an annual basis
is 20% of the purchase price of the corn flour per kg. The optimal order quantity (in kg) is .
Key: 1500
Exp: D = 25000 kg, C0 = Rs 500/order, Ch = 20% of Cu
