The equal run-out method distributes based on demand, right?

I’m confused about how to apply the equal run-out method here. I remember it being used in a practice question, but I can't remember the specifics.

I feel like option B might be correct since it seems to balance the distribution better, but I need to double-check my notes on the equal run-out method.

Rosio 3 months ago

I think the equal run-out method means we should distribute based on demand, but I can't recall the exact calculations for each warehouse.
