Explanation:

The first business model, fixed order quantity system refers to the method that checks inventory constantly in order to be continuously ordering according to a predefined number of limit in the stock, it is a way to control inventory.

The second business model, fixed period quantity system takes into account a period of time to order inventory; what changes in this kind of model is the ordered quantity according to the previous movements of the products.

In my opinion the first model is more adequate since the merchandising is supposed to have always a minimum stock, in this way the company would have a better control of the inventory.

if you use only 25 for your entertainment and only 200 for the groceries that you really need and take out the 50 per month for the computer then that should be enough
