How Tyler should plan on ordering the flour for his bakery. Based on the attached:
- How much should Tyler plan on ordering the flour for his bakery?
- When should Tyler order the flour for his bakery

Transcribed Image Text:Tyler decided to open a bakery because everyone he knew told him that his baked goods
were "out of this world." He had a little bit of a business school background because he got
his Bachelor's from SPS at UIW recently. He remembered his teacher telling him that
inventory models can be used for both the raw materials as well as the finished products for a
business like his. So, he decided to see if he could use the basic EOQ model for identifying
how much quantity to order of raw materials such as eggs, flour, sugar, etc. To get started, he
decided to create a model for flour based on the information he had on hand regarding
potential costs as follows:
• Usage per month 100 Ibs.
• Purchase cost $1 per Ib.
Order cost $10.00 per order sent
Annual Holding Rate 10% of purchase price per Ib.
• 52-week year 300 working days per year
• Lead time 2 days
Fill in the following table based on this information:
