a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way to minimize the total net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next four months.

Introduction: In linear programming, unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints then it is said to be unfeasible solution.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The lowest total cost when the initial inventory is 100 units.

Sam's Pet Hotel operates 51 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 70 bags/week > Order cost $58.00/order > Annual holding cost 30 percent of cost > Desired cycle-service level = 80 percent >Lead time 4 weeks (24 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 70 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 45 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.
