1. Solve the following exercise using dynamic programming: a company distributes an article with a demand of 15,000 articles per year, it is Considering that annual retention costs are $5 per item, it is estimated that the demand is delayed and this causes a cost of $10 per year. Everytime that an order is placed this causes costs of $50. The demand during the time of delivery follows a normal distribution with means of 200 units and a variance of 5 units.

- You are starting a Christmas tree business. You can purchase trees from local farmers at $25 per tree. You are able to sell the trees at $75 per tree. Any leftover trees can be sold to the local wood chip company at $5 per tree. Assume that the demand follows a uniform distribution ~U(94,382). How many trees should you stock through the holiday season? Note: round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Assume a warehouse serves only stores in its city. Weekly demand for St. Louis is normally distributed with mean 2,000, and standard deviation 400 (that is N(μ = 2,000, σ = 400)). Weekly demand for KansasCity is distributed N(μ = 2,000, σ = 300). We assume that the two cities are far enough apart so that demand in the two cities is independent.The following parameters are seen by both warehouses:Replenishment lead time in weeks ~ N(μ = 2, σ = 0.1);Fixed shipping cost of replenishment: $500;Cost per toy: $10; andHolding cost per toy 20 percent of toy’s value per year.How many toys should each location order at a time and when should they reorder if they want a 99 percent cycle service level?

- A retailer has 7 stores in different cities in northern Ontario. The weekly demand for each store follows the normal distribution with a mean value of 60 and a standard deviation of 10. The retailer is planning to use a single centralized store in northern Ontario and they think the demand in the single store will be equal to the sum of the demand in all 7 cities. It takes 3 weeks for the supplier to send the products to the retailer. Calculate the safety stock for the centralized and decentralized cases if the correlation of demands between different cities is 0.3. Assume the planned customer service level is 98%.

The process of burning in the circuits requires large amounts ofnitric acid, which has a shelf life of only three months. Semicon estimates that itwill need between 1,000 and 3,000 gallons of acid for the next three-monthperiod and assumes that all values in this interval are equally likely. The acidcosts them $150 per gallon. The company assumes a 30 percent annual interestrate for the money it has invested in inventory, and the acid costs the company $35a gallon to store. (Assume that all inventory costs are attached to the end of thethree-month period.) Acid that is left over at the end of the three-month periodcosts $75 per gallon to dispose of. If the company runs out of acid during thethree-month period, it can purchase emergency supplies quickly at a price of$600 per gallon.a. How many gallons of nitric acid should Semicon purchase?

Lila, who works in her brother’s hardware store, is in charge of purchasing. She estimates that it costs $10 every time an order is placed. This cost includes her wages, the cost of the forms used in placing the order, and so on. Furthermore, she estimates that the cost of carrying one screw in inventory for a year is one-half of 1 cent. Assume that the demand is constant throughout the year. How many number 6 screws should Lila order at a time if she wishes to minimize total inventory cost? a- EOQ=2×A×OC where A is Annual demand O is ordering cost C is Carrying Cost EOQ=2×100,000×100.005=400,000,000=20,000 How many orders per year would be placed?
