Sam's Pet Hotel operates 50 weeks per year, 6 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $13.00 per bag. The
following information is available about these bags:
> Demand 75 bags/week
> Order cost = $52.00/order
> Annual holding cost = 20 percent of cost
> Desired cycle-service level = 80 percent
>Lead time = 5 weeks (30 working days)
> Standard deviation of weekly demand = 15 bags
> Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders.
a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 75 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 50 bags per week. How much higher will total costs be, owing
to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast error?
The costs will be $higher owing to the error in EOQ. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Yellow Press, Inc., buys paper in 1,500-pound rolls for printing. Annual demand is 2,250 rolls. The cost per roll is $625, and the annual holding cost is 20 percent of

A particular musky lure has been very popular with local fishermen as well as those who buy lures on the Internet from Osprey Sports. The cost to place orders with the supplier is $40/order; the demand averages 3 lures per day, with a standard deviation of 1 lure; and the inventory holding cost is $1.00/lure/year.

Assuming one-time stockout costs for lost sales of $125 per unit, inventory carrying costs of $30 per unit per month, and zero beginning and ending inventory, evaluate the following plan on an incremental cost basis: Plan B: Vary the workforce to produce the prior month's demand. Demand was 1,300 units in June. The cost of hiring additional workers is $35 per unit produced. The cost of layoffs is $60 per unit cut back. (Enter all responses as whole numbers.) Note: Both hiring and layoff costs are incurred in the month of the change (i.e., going from production of 1,300 in July to 1300 in August requires a layoff (and related costs) of 0 units in August).
