Expert Solution

Cost Per Item Ordered = Total of Indirect Costs/Number of Items Ordered

 

here,

Total indirect cost= Processing electronic orders+ Processing non-electronic orders+ Picking orders+ Packaging orders+ Returns

= $1,000,000+ $2,000,000+ $3,000,000+ $1,500,000+ $2,000,000

=  $ 9,500,000

 

Cost Per Item Ordered= $ 9,500,000/ 50,000,000

= $0.19
