Chapter 12, Problem 25P

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of tires Company RMT should order each time it places an order.

Introduction: Inventory management is the process of ordering, storing and using inventory of the company such raw material, components and finished goods. It governs the flow of goods from manufacturers to warehouse and to the point of sale. The key function is to maintain record of flow of new or returned products which enters or leaves the company.

Answer to Problem 25P

The number of tires Company RMT should order each time it places an order is 667.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Annualdemand,D=20,000Ordercost,S=$40perorder

Pricefororderlessthan500 tires=$20/tirePricefororderbetween500to999tires=$18/tirePriceforordermore than1,000tires=$17/tire

Formula:

EOQ,Q=2DSH

Where

D=DemandS=OrderingcostH=Holdingcost

Calculation of optimal order quantity:

Calculation of EOQ for orders less than 500 tires:

Q1=2DSH=2×20,000×400.2×20=632.5tires

EOQ for order less than 500 tires is calculated by multiplying 2, 20,000 and 40 and dividing the resultant with the product of 0.2 and 20 and taking square root which gives 632.5 tires.

Calculation of EOQ for orders between 500 to 999 tires:

Q2=2DSH=2×20,000×400.2×18=666.7tires=667tires (approx)

EOQ for order between 500 to 999 tires is calculated by multiplying 2, 20,000 and 40 and dividing the resultant with the product of 0.2 and 18 and taking square root which gives 667 tires.

Calculation of EOQ for orders more than 1,000 tires:

Q3=2DSH=2×20,000×400.2×17=686tires

EOQ for order orders more than 1,000 tires is calculated by multiplying 2, 20,000 and 40 and dividing the resultant with the product of 0.2 and 17 and taking square root which gives 686 tires.

Based on the above calculations, EOQ of orders between 500 to 999 tires gives optimal order quantity as the EOQ lies within the quantities ordered. Therefore the optimal order quantity is 667 tires at $0.18.

Hence, the number of tires Company RMT should order each time it places an order is 667.

Answer to Problem 25P

The total annual cost of the policy is $342,500 per year.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Annualdemand=45,000piecesOrdercost=$200perorder

Pricefororderlessthan2000pieces=$7.80/piecePricefororderbetween2,001to5000pieces=$1.60/piecePricefororderbetween5,001to10,000pieces=$1.40/piecePriceforordermore than10,001pieces=1.25/piece

Formula:

Totalcost=PD+Q2×H+DQ×S

Calculation of total annual cost:

The total annual cost for ordering quantity 667 tires is compared with 1000 tires to find the optimal total cost and quantities to be ordered by the company.

Total annual cost for 667 tires:

Totalcost=($18×20,000)+(6672×(0.2×18))+(20,000667×$40)=$360,000+$1,200+$1,200=$362,400/year

Total annual cost is calculated by adding holding cost, ordering cost and unit cost and the values are substituted in the above formula which yields $362,400 as total cost per year.

The total annual cost for 667 ordering quantity is $362,400/year.

Total annual cost for 1000 tires:

Totalcost=($17×20,000)+(1,0002×(0.2×17))+(20,0001,000×$40)=$340,000+$1,700+$800=$342,500/year

Total annual cost is calculated by adding holding cost, ordering cost and unit cost and the values are substituted in the above formula which yields $342,500 as total cost per year.

The total annual cost for 1000 tires is $342,500/year.

The total annual cost for 1000 tires is lesser than total annual cost for 667 tires and so company RMT should order 1,000 tires each time.

Hence, the total annual cost of the policy is $342,500 per year.

The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?
Annual demand= 360 units Holding cost per year = 1 $ per unit Ordering cost = $ 100 per order Compute EOQ , total cost(holding and ordering cost),no of order per year and  expected time (days) between orders(Assuming a 300-day work ) and what would the actual total holding and ordering costs be if the annual demand was actually higher than estimated i.e 500 units instead of 360 units, but the EOQ established above is used. If demand for an item is 3 units per day, and delivery lead time is 15 days, what would be the re-order point?
Rocket Racer builds 200,000 go-carts a year and purchases the  motors for these carts for $850 each. Ordering costs are $1,040, and Rocket Racer's inventory carrying costs average 15% of the inventory value. What is the total inventory costs for an inventory order size of 4000?
