A company can purchase component H from 3 potential suppliers. Supplier A charges a fee of $5.50 per component. Supplier B charges $1500 per order plus $2.00 per component ordered. Supplier C charges $4.00 per component, and requires the buyer to pay for at least 280 components (even if the order size is less than 280). ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 4) What is the full range of order sizes where each supplier is optimal? 5) The company decided to buy 300 units of component H from supplier A. How much money could the company have saved if it purchased the 300 units from supplier C instead of supplier A? 6) Next week supplier B will be running a 10% off special. If the company needs to purchase 600 units of component H during the special, which supplier should be chosen?
