Describe the results of your two graphs as they compare to the movement of demand. Be specific. Choosing between the three-period and the five-period forecasts, which length of averaging would you use as a purchasing manager of Greenfield’s Tannery? Be sure to factor in the cumulative forecast errors in your answer. Also, make sure you include some rationale about why you are picking the method you do for this particular business. So for example, does picking one method over the other have any impact on how much inventory they will have on hand to meet customer demand? What happens when the demand drops? Which method better supports that?
The company has data on demand and factory capacity for the next 4 months as in the table. Unit cost with regular time $ 24, overtime cost $ 28, on subcontract $ 34. Storage costs $ 2 per unit per month; backorders cost $ 5 per unit per month. Initial inventory is as many as 120 units, and it is expected that by the end of July there will be an inventory of 100 units.

The marching band at a local high school is selling candy bars. The profits will go toward the purchase of new marching band uniforms. They are interested in knowing what price they should charge to obtain the maximum profit. The candy bars are donated by a local retailer so they know that if they charge $0 they will make $0 profit. They also collect data from other marching bands who have sold candy bars in the past. The data they collected is shown in the table below. Price 0.00 0.45 0.60 0.75 1.00 1.25 1.40 1.50 Profit 0.00 $720 $900 $990 $845 $625 $560 $300 What factors might influence how much is to be made from the candy sale? Give at least two. What happens to the profit as the price of each candy bar increases? Explain possible reasons for your observations. How do you suppose the other bands determined the price at which to sell each candy bar? Do any data values seem unusual? Yes or…
