Question

Which option describes the most cost-effective way for a skateboard company to purchase plywood?

Answer 1

A pallet of 500 sheets for $3,500 is the most cost-effective option.
This is because:
- if you buy 100 for $1,000, the price per sheet is $10.
- If you buy 200 for $1,800, the price per sheet is $9
- If you buy 1,000 for $8,000, the price per sheet is $8
- If you buy 500 for $3,500, the price per sheet is only $7.
