Use the following information for the next two questions.

Casey Company manufactures a line of deluxe office fixtures. The annual demand for its miniature oak file is
estimated to be 5,000 units. The annual cost of carrying one unit in inventory is P10, and the cost to initiate a
production run is P1,000. There are no miniature oak files on hand, and Casey has scheduled four equal
production runs of the miniature oak file for the coming year, the first of which is to be run immediately. Casey
has 250 business days per year. Assume that sales occur uniformly throughout the year and that production is
instantaneous.

3. If Casey does not maintain a safety stock, the estimated total carrying costs for the office fixtures for the
coming year based on their current schedule is P6,250

4. The number of production runs per year of the miniature oak files that would minimize the sum of carrying
costs and setup costs for the coming year is 5
