Eight Flags. We apply the equation for total annual cost analysis to each supplier:
Total Annual Cost = pD + Freight costs + (Q/2 +  L)H + Administrative costs.
The average requirements per week are 30,000/50 = 600 gallons.
For Sharps and a shipping quantity of 5,000, the total annual cost is:
Total Annual Cost = ($4)(30,000) + $5,000 + (5,000/2 + 600 (4))($0.80) + $4,000 = $132,920.
The total annual costs for the other alternatives are given in the following table.

Ben’s system provides some assurance that orders are placed with qualified suppliers. The orders are divided between two suppliers, so there is a ready alternative if a strike, fire, or other problem prevents one supplier from performing. The system also rewards suppliers with more orders if they improve performance.
