| (b) Future Fashions is a retailing company dealing in ladies' and children's wear. | |||
| Currently, Future Fashions places an order with the wholesaler every month who will then deliver the items within a week. Each month the demand is projected to be higher than the previous month by 5% except during festive months. | |||
| The manager in charge of the merchandize calculates the projected sales for each month taking into consideration either a 5% growth in sales or a 10% to 20% growth depending on what time of the year it is. He then places the order with the wholesaler for the goods. | |||
| If the goods have been on the shelf for more than two months they are considered 'unsolds'. They are then offered for reduction sales at these special outlets. During festive months, however, the reduction sales are then conducted at all outlets of the store. | |||
| During the months when 'unsold' are recorded for any of the items, the orders for these items are adjusted by reducing the quantity ordered from the wholesaler. | |||
