Detailed Solution & Explanation

Minimum stock level is calculated using the formula:
Minimum Stock Level=Re-order Level(Average Consumption×Average Lead Time)\text{Minimum Stock Level} = \text{Re-order Level} - (\text{Average Consumption} \times \text{Average Lead Time})
Applying the case study parameters:
- Re-order Level = 18,000 units (for example)
- Average Consumption = 1,028.57 units per week
- Average Lead Time = 7 weeks
Minimum Stock Level=18,000(1,028.57×7)=10,800 units\text{Minimum Stock Level} = 18,000 - (1,028.57 \times 7) = 10,800 \text{ units} (as per Option A).
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
