    a). Total annual demand=13 boxes

    b). Material cost per bag=$1.60

    Explanation:

    a). The following expressions can be derived;

    Total number of bags=number of bags per box*number of boxes

    where;

    Total number of bags=150 bags

    Number of bags per box=12 bags

    Number of boxes=n

    Replacing;

    150=12*n

    12 n=150

    n=150/12=12.5

    Number of boxes = 12.5 rounded to the nearest whole number=13

    Total annual demand=13 boxes

    b). Material cost per bag

    Total material costs = (Cost per box*number of boxes demanded) + Ordering cost

    Total material costs = (10.97*13) + 75=$217.61

    Additional cost = (10/100) * 217.61=21.761

    Total material costs = (217.61+21.761) = 239.371

    Material cost per bag=Total material cost/number of bags

    where;

    Total material cost=$239.371

    Total number of bags=150 bags

    replacing;

    Material cost per bag=239.371/150

    Material cost per bag=1.596 to nearest two decimal places=1.60

    Material cost per bag=$1.60
