### Inventory Management Problem: Warren W. Fisher Computer CorporationThe Warren W. Fisher Computer Corporation purchases 8,000 transistors each year as components in minicomputers. The unit cost of each transistor is $10, and the cost of carrying one transistor in inventory for a year is $3. Ordering cost is $30 per order. Assume that Fisher operates on a 200-day working year.**a. What is the optimal order quantity?****b. What is the expected number of orders placed each year?****c. What is the expected time between orders?****d. What is the total cost?****Solution:**To solve the above questions, we will employ the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model, which is a fundamental principle in inventory management. The EOQ formula is given by:\[ EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}} \]Where:- $ D $ is the annual demand (8,000 transistors).- $ S $ is the ordering cost per order ($30).- $ H $ is the holding cost per unit per year ($3).By plugging the values into the EOQ formula, we can find the optimal order quantity.1. **Optimal Order Quantity (Q\*)**\[ Q\* = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 8000 \times 30}{3}} = \sqrt{160000} = 400 \text{ transistors} \]2. **Expected Number of Orders**\[ \text{Number of Orders} = \frac{D}{Q\*} = \frac{8000}{400} = 20 \text{ orders/year} \]3. **Expected Time Between Orders**Since the company operates 200 days a year:\[ \text{Time Between Orders} = \frac{200}{\text{Number of Orders}} = \frac{200}{20} = 10 \text{ days} \]4. **Total Cost (TC)**The total cost comprises the ordering cost, holding cost, and purchasing cost. The total cost formula is:\[ TC = \left(\frac{D}{Q\*} \times S\right) + \left(\frac{Q\*}{2} \times H\right) + (D \times \text{Unit Cost}) \]Let's calculate each part:- Ordering Cost = \(\frac
