- During the next four months, a customer requires,respectively, 600, 800, 1200, and 900 units of acommodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is,the customer’s requirements must be met on time).Production costs are $80, $100, $105, and $90 per unitduring these months. The storage cost from one month to the next is $20 per unit (assessed on ending inven-tory). It is estimated that each unit on hand at the end of month 4 can be sold for $60. Assume there is nobeginning inventory.a. Determine how to minimize the net cost incurred inmeeting the demands for the next four months.b. Use SolverTable to see what happens to the decisionvariables and the total cost when the initial inventoryvaries from 0 to 1000 in 100-unit increments. Howmuch lower would the total cost be if the companystarted with 100 units in inventory, rather than none?Would this same cost decrease occur for every100-unit increase in initial inventory?arrow_forwardAssume that Pearle Vision uses standard costs to control the materials in its made-to-order sunglasses.
