Chapter 16, Problem 1P

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The optimal order quantity per order.

a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that the ordering cost (Co) is $450, demand (D) is 1,200 units, and carrying cost (Cc) is $170.

Determine the optimal order quantity per order:

Q=2CoDCc=2×450×1200170=79.7

Hence, the optimal order quantity per order is 79.7 units.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The minimum total annual inventory costs.

b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that the ordering cost (Co) is $450, demand (D) is 1,200 units, and carrying cost (Cc) is $170.

Determine the minimum total annual inventory costs:

TC=CoDQ+CcQ2=450(120079.7)+170(79.72)=6,775.4+6,774.5=13,550

Hence, the minimum total annual inventory costs is $13,550.

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The optimal number of orders per year.

c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that the ordering cost (Co) is $450, demand (D) is 1,200 units, and carrying cost (Cc) is $170.

Determine the optimal number of orders per year:

Optimal number of order=DQ=1,20079.7=15.05

Hence, the optimal number of orders per year is 15.05 orders.

d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The optimal time between orders.

d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that the ordering cost (Co) is $450, demand (D) is 1,200 units, and carrying cost (Cc) is $170.

Determine the optimal time between orders:

Optimal time between orders=Number of working daysOptimal number of orders=36415.05=24.18

Hence, the optimal time between orders is 24.18 days.

Each machine costs $3 Million. Building the room with all its attendant safety protection and other ancillary costs increases the spending by an additional $2.0 million dollars per MRI suite. Each machine can perform 2000 scans per year. Each reading of an MRI scan by a radiologist, along with other per-scan-related costs, is $500 per scan. The machine will last five years.  Don’t worry about discount rates for this problem Graph the total costs over 5 years as a function of sales for 0-3000 patients annually. Hint: you may need to add a second MRI at some point. Suppose that you want to make a profit of $500 per scan at a target volume of 1000 patients per year, and you purchase only one machine.  Superimpose the total revenue curve on top of the total cost curve in (1).
