Email from Sales Manager at C&C Pharmaceuticals to Head Pharmacist at Healthy Hope Hospital May 11, 12:30 p.m.
I discussed your bulk order of 20000, 100mg tablets Hex-D (Hypertensive drug), 15000, 50mg capsules of Dib-LX (Anti-Diabetic drug) and 20000 100mg tablets of Beta-KL (Cholesterol lowering drug) with the manufacturing team. The first two drugs are in stock, but we are short of 10000, 100 mg Beta-KL tablets. However, we have 20000, 50mg Beta-KL tablets in stock. Would you like me to change your order for Beta-KL tablets to 10000 100mg tablets and 20000 50mg tablets?
The manufacturing team also informed that a new version Hex-DX of the hypertensive drug Hex-D is available. You can pre-order the new drug, but there will be a delay of two weeks. Do you want me to change the order for 10000, 100mg Hex-D tablets to 10000, 100 mg Hex-DX tablets?
The current prices of drugs of a single dose are as follows:
100mg Hex-D tablet $0.6
50mg Dib-LX capsule $0.7
100mg Beta-KL tablet $0.8
50mg Beta-KL tablet $0.45
100mg Hex-DX tablet $0.75

A lot of confusion in the calculation of discount on Beta-KL drugs has arised due to the following lines:
1. We will be happy to give you 10000, 100mg and 20000, 50mg Beta-KL tablets at the price of 20000, 100mg units with bulk discount on 20000 units.
(A discount of 10% on the price of 20000 , 100mg Beta-KL)
2. For example, for your order of the Beta-KL drugs, there will be 5% discount on 10000 units of 100mg Beta-KL and 10% discount on 20000 units of 50mg Beta-KL.
(A discount of 5% on 10000,100mg Beta-KL + A discount of 10% on 20000, 50mg Beta-KL)
1. We will be happy to give you 10000, 100mg and 20000, 50mg Beta-KL tablets at the price of 20000, 100mg units with bulk discount on 20000 units.

Answer 1: (E)
1. Beta-KL = {0.8*20,000}*90% = $14,400 (at the price of 20,000, 100mg units; with bulk discount on 20,000 units => a discount of 10% on the whole order)
2. Hex-D & Hex-DX = {(0.6+0.75)*10,000}*87% = $11,745 (at a total discount of 13% on the whole order)
3. Dib-LX = {0.7*15,000}*95% = $9,975 (at a discount of 5% because 15,000 is more than 10,000 & less than 20,000)
Total = $36,120
Therefore (E), the closest option.
Answer 2: (D)
A. The pharmacist employs this: she asks 10000, 50mg Beta-KL & 10000, 100mg Beta-KL at the price of 20000, 100mg Beta-KL.
B. She employs this: she writes that the hospital would like to place an order for additional 20000, 50mg Dib-LX tablets and 25000, 50mg in the following quarter.
C. She employs this: she mentions that they were expecting the delivery of the requested dosages, expressing discontent for the delay on part of the pharmaceutical company.
D. Correct. Nowhere does she mention that the hospital is willing to discontinue TOTAL services of the other party.
E. She employs this: she expresses interest in the newly developed drug, Hex-DX.
Can someone confirm the answers?
