The wording of this problem is weird, I'll do what I can.
To 150 items at the regular price is 4*150=$600
The sale price for the item is .9*4=$3.60
*holding cost per unit per day* *thinks*
Does this mean that to hold an item for a day you don't use it it costs $0.30?
If so, holding one item for 2 days before it means paying .30+.30+3.6=$4.20 for the item, and most of the items will be held for far more than 2 days before they are used so the average price per item will be way above $4 and the company should not take advantage of the discount price.
Tell me if I interperated this problem incorrectly and I'll try again.
