order for 6 weeks = 6*18 = 108 quantities
cost of ordering = 45 dollars
cost of holding annually = 15 dollars
a. current average inventory

e. ordering holding cost per picture
936/75 * 45
= 561.6 dollars
and inventory holding cost per picture
= 75/2 * 15
=562.5 dollars
f. shop inventory per year at optimal ordering quantity
