Lulu hypermarket estimates daily demand of 18 kgs for a product. It costs RO 100 to make and receive an order, and
it takes 16 workdays to receive it. The annual holding cost is 25 % of purchase price. The price RO 2 per kg. The
company is operating 5 days per week, and a total of 210 workdays in one year. What is the minimum annual total
holding and ordering cost in RO? Round-up to the nearest integer

A manufacturer produces a piece of plywood at a
labor cost of P20.00 and material at P35.00. The
fixed charges on business are P150,000.00 a month
and the variable cost is P20.00 a piece. If one
plywood sells for P60.00 each, how many pieces
must be produced each month for the manufacturer
to break even?
1. A service station uses 2500 oil filters during the course of a year, and this usage is constant throughout the year. These oil filters are purchased from a supplier 100 miles away for $15 each, and the lead time is 2 days. The holding cost per oil filter per year is $1.50 (or 10% of the unit cost) and the ordering cost is $18.75. There are 250 working days per year.
a) What is the service station's optimal order quantity and total annual cost of inventory?

The cost of operating a jet-powered commercial (passenger- carrying) airplane varies as the three-halves (3/2) power of its velocity; specifically, Co kny3/2, where n is the trip length in miles, k is a constant of proportionality, and vis velocity in miles per hour. It is known that at 400 miles per hour, the average cost of operation is $300 per mile. The company that owns the aircraft wants to minimize the cost of operation, but that cost must be balanced against the cost of the passengers' time (CC), which has been set at $300,000 per hour. At what velocity should the trip be planned to minimize the total cost, which is the sum of the cost of operating the airplane and the cost of passengers' time?arrow_forwardIma Neworker requires 43 minutes to produce her first unit of output.
