f2 Same problem statement: Weekly demand for DVD-Rs at a retailer is normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 boxes and a standard deviation of 150. Currently, the store places orders to the supplier, with a reorder point of 4,200 boxes. The order quantity to the supplier is fixed at 5,000 boxes. Replenishment lead time is 4 weeks, fixed order cost per order is $100, each box costs the retailer $10, and the inventory holding cost is 25% per year. Assume 50 weeks in a year. Given the problem parameters, what is the optimal order quantity the retailer should order? Numeric Response f3 2040 f4 f5 40 f6 0 4- f7 ♫+ f11 W f12.

Step 3: Q3: Should TechGear place a larger order to receive a discount? The vendor offers a 5% discount on the purchase price if TechGear orders five times the EOQ (6,000 units instead of 1,200). To decide whether to take this offer, we compare the total costs with and without the discount. The total cost consists of: 1. Ordering cost (cost of placing orders) 2. Holding cost (cost of holding inventory) 3. Purchase cost (cost of buying the products) We calculate the total costs in both cases: 1. With EOQ (1,200 units): Ordering cost: Holding cost: Purchase cost: Total cost: 2. With larger order (6,000 units): Ordering cost: Holding cost: Purchase cost with 5% discount: Total cost: Since the total cost with the larger order is lower ($974,400) than the cost with EOQ ($984,000),** TechGear should take the discount and place the larger order.
***** The company Marombeiro is a commercial representative of a food supplement widely consumed in gyms. The average daily demand for the product is 1,500 units and a standard deviation of 300 units. Average shipping time is 5 days. Of course, if the order is placed at the end of the week, it may take a little longer to receive the shipment, so the standard deviation of the delivery time is 2 days. The unit has a value of R$ 50.00 per unit in stock, an order cost of R$ 50.00 and an annual maintenance fee of 20%. Suppose Company Marombeiro wants to change the service to 99%. How many days of safety stock the company will have. ( )5.12 days ( )5.67 days ( )5.33 days ( )4.77 days

Problem 20-10 (Algo) You are a newsvendor selling San Pedro Times every morning. Before you get to work, you go to the printer and buy the day’s paper for $0.50 a copy. You sell a copy of San Pedro Times for $1.25. Daily demand is distributed normally with mean = 335 and standard deviation = 67. At the end of each morning, any leftover copies are worthless and they go to a recycle bin. a. How many copies of San Pedro Times should you buy each morning? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Round your z-value to 2 decimal places and final answer to to 2 decimal places.) b. Based on a, what is the probability that you will run out of stock? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Alvarez Incorporated can purchase component X from 3 potential suppliers. Supplier A charges a fee of $6.50 per component. Supplier B charges $2100 per order plus $2.50 per component ordered. Supplier C charges $4.00 per component, and requires the buyer to pay for at least 300 components (even if the order size is less than 300). 4. What is the full range of order sizes where each supplier is optimal? 5. Alvarez decided to buy 1000 units of component X from supplier B. How much money could the company have saved if it purchased the 1000 units from supplier C instead of supplier B? 6. Next week supplier B will be running a 18% off special. What equation represents the new Total Cost for supplier B during the sale? Hint: plug the same number of units into both the new and the original Total Cost equations. The new equation should provide a value that is 18% less than the original.
Q1) Cannon sells 22mm lens for digital cameras. The manager considers using a continuous review policy to manage the inventory of this product and he is planning for the reorder point and the order quantity in 2021 taking the inventory cost into account. The annual demand for 2021 is forecasted as 400+10*6 and expected to be fairly stable during the year. Other relevant data is as follows: The standard deviation of the weekly demand is 10. Targeted cycle service level is 90% (no-stock out probability) Lead time is 4 weeks Each 22mm lens costs $2000 Annual holding cost is 25% of item cost, i.e. H=$ 500. Ordering cost is $1000 per order Using your student number calculate the annual demand. (e.g., for student numberBBAW190102, the last digit is 2 and the annual demand is 400+10*6=420) Using the annual demand forecast, calculate the weekly demand forecast for 2021 (Assume 52 weeks in a year)? What is the economic order quantity, E0Q? What is the reorder point and safety stock? 5-…
