Explain why the scenario below does or does not meet the definition of successful leadership. Situation: Barbara is the owner of a coffee shop. Two of her employees disagree on the best way to order the right amount of coffee. Barbara: "I've developed ordering software that uses our sales history to establish an average amount of coffee that we will order each week. This way we won't order too little and run out or order too much and have waste." Employee #1: "That makes sense." Employee #2: "I think that's a good idea."

M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
