Inventory Management

The company buys the paper from a wholesaler in the same town, sending its own truck to pick up the orders at a cost of $20.00 per trip. Treating this cost as the order cost,
(a) what is the optimum number of reams to buy at one time?
(b) How many times should lots of this size be bought during this period?
(c) What is the total minimum cost (holding and ordering) of maintaining inventory on this item for the period?
