    The total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory is 900 units.

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory we would have to make the following calculations:

    Cycle inventory=lot size/2 = 600 / 2

    Cycle inventory = 300 units

    Pipeline inventory=leadtime*average demand=4*150

    Pipeline inventory=600 units.

    Therefore, Total Cycle + Pipeline inventory = 300 + 600

    Total Cycle + Pipeline inventory = 900 units

    The total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory is 900 units.
