Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total ordering costs are calculated by multiplying the number of orders placed during the 20-day period by the cost per order ($32). Without the specific data on how many times the inventory fell to 15 or below, we can't calculate the exact number of orders. However, the correct approach involves identifying the number of times an order would be triggered and then multiplying that by the ordering cost. Assuming B is the correct choice, it implies that there were 3 orders placed (since $96 divided by $32 per order equals 3 orders).
