題目如下:

Lee Pet suppiles purchasesits onventory from a variety of supplies,

some of which require a six-week lead time before delivering the goods.

To ensure that she has a sufficient supply of goods on hand, Ms.Polk, the

owner, must maintain a large supply of inventory. The cost of the inventory

average $21,000. She usually finances the purchase of inventory and pays a

9 percent annual finance charge. Ms. Polk's accountant has suggested that

she establish a relationship with a single large distributor who can

satisfy all of her orders within a two-week time period. Given this quick

tumaround time, she will be able to reduce her average inventory balance to

$4,000. Ms.Polk also believes that she could save $2,500 per year by reducing

phone bills, insurance, and warehouse rental space costs associated with

ordering and maintaining larger level of inventory.


Required:

Based on the information provided, how much of Ms.Polk's inventory holding

cost could be eliminated by taking the accountant's advice?
