Explanation:

Given data

Annual demand A = 2000 flower

transit time t1 = 3 days

transit time t2 = 1 day

transit time t3 = 5 days

to find out

What is the average annual transportation inventory for each alternative

solution

we will apply here  average annual transportation inventory formula that is

average annual transportation inventory = t × A / 365

put the value t1 , t2 and t3 for annual demand 2000

so

average annual transportation inventory = t × A / 365

average annual transportation inventory = 3 × 2000 / 365 = 16.4383

and

average annual transportation inventory = t × A / 365

average annual transportation inventory = 1 × 2000 / 365 = 5.4794

and

average annual transportation inventory = t × A / 365

average annual transportation inventory = 5 × 2000/ 365 = 27.3972
