The Gilbert Air-Conditioning Company is considering the purchase of a special shipment of portable air conditioners manufactured in Japan. Each unit will cost Gilbert $75, and it will be sold for $125. Gilbert does not want to carry surplus air conditioners over until the following year. Thus, all surplus air conditioners will be sold to a wholesaler for $45 per unit. Assume that the air conditioner demand follows a normal probability distribution with μ =20 and σ = 8. (a) What is the recommended order quantity? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) Q* = (b) What is the probability that Gilbert will sell all units it orders? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) P(sell all) =
Westside Auto purchases a component used in the manufacture of automobile generators directly from the supplier. Westside's generator production operation, which is operated at a constant rate, will require 1,000 components per month throughout the year (12,000 units annually).

The 28-ounce bottle of Super Algaecide (SA) is a high margin SKU, but it stocks out frequently. Ten SA bottles come in each box, and she orders boxes from a vendor 160 miles away. Brenda is busy running the store and seldom has time to review store inventory status and order the right quantity at the right time. She collected the following data:   Demand = 10 boxes per week Store open = 48 weeks/year Order cost = $36/order Lead-time = 5 weeks Item cost = $72/box Std. deviation in weekly demand = 8 Inventory-holding cost = 25 percent year Service level = 90 percent     What is the economic order quantity (EOQ) rounded to the next highest number? Round to the…
