Woah, this is a real brain-teaser! I'm going to have to break out my calculator for this one. Okay, let's see... Carrying cost per unit, economic order quantity... Yikes, I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. But I'm going to give it my best shot!

This question looks complex, but I think I can figure it out. Let's see, the city uses 1600 oil filters annually, the order cost is $5.00, the unit cost is $3.50, and the carrying cost is 20% or $0.70 per unit. Hmm, that means the economic order quantity is probably around 150, right?
