    2 days freight

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    The compression is done by considering the holding cost

    Holding cost = 2,125 items shipped * $9 per unit

    = $19,125

    Time Savings = 3 days

    Now

    Holding Cost for 3 days = $19,125 * (3 days : 365 days)

    = 157.19

    This is more than than the given amount i. e $145

    Therefore, it is advisable to go for 2 days freight as it contains the less amount as compared to 5 days
