Samantha Ross is the procurement manager for the headquarters of a large Financial company chain with a central inventory operation. Ross’ quick-moving inventory item has a demand of 7,000 units per year. Each unit cost $120, and the inventory holding cost is $15 per unit per year. The average ordering cost is $31 per order. It takes about 6 days for an order to arrive. (This is a corporate operation, and there are 250 working days per year.) a) What is the average inventory if the EOQ is used?

A manufacturer has a steady annual demand for 12,000 cases of sugar. It costs $8 to store 1 case for 1 year, $30 in set up cost to produce each batch, and $15 to produce each case. Find the number of batches of sugar that should be manufactured annually if 300 cases of sugar are produced in each batch. The manufacturer should manufacture (Type a whole number.) batches of sugar annually.
Bruno Fruscalzo decided to start a small production facility in Sydney to sell gelato to the local restaurants. His local milk supplier charges $0.50 per kilogram of milk plus a $15 delivery fee (the $15 fee is independent of the amount ordered). Bruno's holding cost is $0.03 per kilogram per month. He needs 8,250 kilograms of milk per month. Suppose Bruno orders 10,000 kilograms each time. What is his average inventory (in kilograms)? Suppose Bruno orders 6,250 kilograms each time. How many orders does he place with his supplier each year? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. How many kilograms should Bruno order from his supplier with each order to minimize the sum of the ordering and holding costs? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 2,000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders this amount? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 7, 000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders…
A company uses 5000 items per annum which has a price of $2 each. The ordering costs are $150 per order and holding costs are $1.50 per item per annum. The company is offered a 5% discount (discounted price is $1.90) for orders of 5000 and over. Order cost and holding cost remain at $150 per order and $1.50 respectively. Assuming that the company orders 5000 items per order, calculate the number of orders per annum, average stock, annual stock holding cost, annual order cost, annual inventory cost and the total annual cost of items and inventory.
An automobile dealer expects to sell 200 cars a year. The cars cost $9000 plus a fixed charge of $1000 per delivery. If it costs $1000 to store a car for a year, find the order size and the number of orders that minimize inventory costs. Cars per order= ? Orders per year= ?
A furniture store expects to sell 120 coffee tables during the next year. It costs $1.50 to store one coffee table for one year. To reorder, there is a fixed cost of $10, plus $2.80 for each coffee table ordered. In what lot size and how many times per year should an order be placed to minimize inventory costs? coffee tables per order orders per year
A publishing company sells 400,000 copies of a certain book each year. Ordering the entire amount printed at the beginning of the year ties up valuable storage space and capital. However, printing the copies in several partial runs throughout the year results in added costs for setting up each printing run, which costs $1000. The carrying costs, figured on the average number of books in storage, are $.50 per book. Find the most economical lot size, that is, the production run size that minimizes the total setting up andcarrying costs.
4) Inventory control: Lenhen Vinters imports a certain brand of beer. The demand for beer over a year is 80,000 cases/year. The cost to ordering a shipment of beer is $50, the cost of storing each case of beer for a year is $2.00, and each case of beer costs them $35 to purchase. (Assume the storage cost is based on the average number in storage at any time in the year.) Find the following. a) Give the simplified function that represents the total inventory cost (circle this). Be sure to state what the variable x represents. CLEARLY state the understood domain of the function that you are using. X is Understood Domain is b) How many cases of imported beer should they order in each shipment and how many orders need to be placed over the year to minimize the total inventory cost? Use calculus to solve this problem. You must verify your answer yields a minimum cost based on your domain. SHOW all work and put your answers in the spaces provided.

The Lawson Fabric Mill Produces five different fabrics. Each fabric can be woven on one or more of the mill’s 36 looms. The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill. Fabrics that cannot be woven at the…
Plastic Pipe Company manufactures a variety of pipes, and has received a special one-time-only order from a new customer.

A tutoring service provides tutoring for a fee. When the tutoring service charges $11/hour, there is a demand for 28 tutors per week. When the hourly rate rises to $17/hour, the demand drops to 16 tutors per week. On the other hand, at $11/hour, the service is able to support only 28 tutors per week, whereas at the rate of $17/hour, it is able to provide 58 tutors per week. Find the price per hour at which the number of tutors demanded and the number of tutors supplied will be equal.
