Question
•• 12.22 The catering manager of La Vista Hotel, Lisa Ferguson, is disturbed by the amount of silverware she is losing every week. Last Friday night, when her crew tried to set up for a banquet for 500 people, they did not have enough knives. She decides she needs to order some more silverware, but wants to take advantage of any quantity discounts her vendor will offer.
For a small order (2,000 or fewer pieces), her vendor quotes a price of $1.80y piece.
If she orders 2,001-5,000 pieces, the price drops to $1 60ypiece. 5,001–10,000 pieces brings the price to $1.40ypiece, and 10,001 and above reduces the price to $1.25.
Lisa’s order costs are $200 per order, her annual holding costs are 5%, and the annual demand is 45,000 pieces. For the best option:
- a. What is the optimal order quantity?
- b. What is the annual holding cost?
- c. What is the annual ordering (setup) cost?
- d. What are the annual costs of the silverware itself with an optimal order quantity?
- e. What is the total annual cost, including ordering, holding, and purchasing the silverware?

Question 11
You are responsible for maintaining an appropriate amount of inventory for Component A, using a Q-type
inventory control system (fixed quantity, continuous review). Your company estimates your ordering cost to
be 500 and the annual cost of holding this item in inventory to be 12. Annual demand for this item is
forecasted to be 5,000 and the company has 300 working days per year. Your supplier's lead time is 15
days.

- Question 1 Consider again managing inventory for product 101, provided by Supplier A. Recall thatdemand for 101 is approximately d = 200 units per week. You pay a purchase cost p = $500per unit and value your inventory at r = $550 per unit. You estimate your inventory carry-ing cost rate at r = 18% per year; storing one item of product 101 in your DC requires anequivalent rent (storage cost) of s = $10 per unit per year.Use truckload shipping for your orders of product 101; recall then that your total fixedcost (k + F ) = $900 for any order of size no greater than Q = 700 units. You estimate atotal lead time (order processing plus transit time) of 12 days for these shipments.To reduce your logistics costs, you decide that it might be worthwhile to backorder someof the customer demand you face each cycle. When backordering, you will delay your out-bound shipping of some of your customers’ orders.arrow_forwardQuestion: The purchasing agent for a company that assembles and sells air- conditioning equipment in a Latin American country noted that the cost of compressors has increased significantly each time they have been reordered.
