Total production from November to February (in 4 months ) = 4 x x = 4x rakes.

The amount of shipped rakes is x2

Remaining rakes = 4x-x2=8x-x2=7x2

In march, the business paid for the storage of7x2 rakes = 3.5x rakes

In the next month, the business will pay for the storage of 3x rakes as x2 rakes is to be shipped & thus the process will go on.

Total storage cost will bc = (3.5x + 3x + 2.5x + 2x + 1.5x + x + 0.5x) = 14x × 0.10 = $1.4x
