During the first 3 weeks of June you have decided to order the above pallets of products. You
have sold out of all products each week. Your job is to determine how much product you need
for the next 4 ordering cycles.
When and how much Pepsi do you order when PepsiCo gives you the discount at $4.22?
When and how much Coke do you order because Coke is your number one seller?
How do you highlight these two brands in your store?

questions.
