A company has an annual demand of \(12{,}000\) units for a product. The ordering cost per order is \(\₦2{,}000\). The holding cost is \(25\%\) of the unit cost per year. The unit cost depends on the order quantity as follows: • up to \(2{,}000\) units - \(\₦150\) each; • from \(2{,}001\) to \(5{,}000\) units - \(\₦140\) each; • above \(5{,}000\) units - \(\₦130\) each. The warehouse can hold at most \(4{,}000\) units at any time. Determine the order quantity that minimises the total annual cost while respecting the warehouse capacity, and state the corresponding total annual cost (in naira, rounded to the nearest naira).
