Exercise 1-15A (Algo) Using JIT to minimize holding costs LO 1-5 Rundle Pet Supplies purchases its inventory from a variety of suppliers, some of which require a six-week lead time before delivering the goods.

Given this quick turnaround time, she will be able to reduce her average Inventory balance to $3,300.
