For the next four months, the following demands are expected: 500, 650, 1000 and 700 units. Unit production costs are $50, $80, $40 and $70 during the next four months respectively. For the first three months, a $20 per unit storage cost is assessed on each month’s ending inventory. Any units on hand at the end of month 4 can be sold for $40 per unit. Using Microsoft's SolverTable add-in, determine what happens to the decision variables and total cost when the unit production cost of month 2 varies from $30 to $150 in increments of $10.

Question

For the next four months, the following demands are expected: 500, 650, 1000 and 700 units. Unit production costs are $50, $80, $40 and $70 during the next four months respectively. For the first three months, a $20 per unit storage cost is assessed on each month’s ending inventory. Any units on hand at the end of month 4 can be sold for $40 per unit.

  1. Using Microsoft's SolverTable add-in, determine what happens to the decision variables and total cost when the unit production cost of month 2 varies from $30 to $150 in increments of $10.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Steps to be followed:

1.  Arrange the data in tabulated form:

Month

1

2

3

4

Production Cost/Unit

$50

$80

$40

$70

Demand

500

650

1000

700

2. 

All units that are available in inventory are sold at $60 at the end of month 4.

Therefore, required condition is as follows:

Units in hand >= Demand
