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.

Find the most economical lot size, that is, the production run size that minimizes the total setting up andcarrying costs.

When a company offers a new product or service, they estimate how much of that product or service people will want at different prices. This is referred to as the product or service demand . As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below. Yaseen is a local artist who wants to increase the amount of money she earns every month by selling at-home painting kits. These kits will include a photograph of the finished painting, a link and password to Yaseen’s YouTube channel where she will…
