A store sells 180,000 cases of a product annualy. It costs 12 dollars to store 1 case for one year and 2o dollars to place a reorder. Find the number of cases that should be order each time
A restaurant uses 100 per week or 5,000 quart bottles of ketchup each year. The ketchup costs $3.00 per bottle and is served only in whole bottles because its taste quickly deteriorates. The restaurant figures that it costs $10.00 each time an order is placed, and holding costs are 20 percent of the purchase price. It takes 3 weeks for an order to arrive. The restaurant operates 50 weeks per year. The restaurant would like to use an inventory system that minimizes inventory cost. The restaurant has figured that the most economical order size or EOQ is approx. 409 (rounding up the decimals).

It costs That One Book $0.80 to print each book; it sells the book to The Witch and the Wardrobe for $2.50. The Witch and the Wardrobe then sells the books at retail for $6.00. Whatever doesn’t sell gets thrown away. Demand for the book each issue is normal with a mean of 5219 and a standard deviation of 1610. To give The Witch and the Wardrobe incentive to order more books, it proposes a revenue-sharing contract. Instead of selling the book to The Witch and the Wardrobe for $2.50, That One Book will sell its books to The Witch and the Wardrobe for only $1.00. However, for each book that The Witch and the Wardrobe sells at retail, The Witch and the Wardrobe must give $2.00 back to That One Book. With this revenue sharing agreement in place, what is the optimal order amount that will maximize The Witch and the Wardrobe expected profit?

- Given scenario A hospital is administering a polio vaccine (“polio drops”) to children under the age of 5 in Mexico. It costs the hospital $2 to purchase one shot, and they charge $3 for administering it to a child. Unused vaccines are destroyed. The hospital management needs to decide the number of vaccines to be ordered. Since the hospital has been administering these shots for the last 6 years (24 quarters), they have been able to compile the demand for the vaccine. Determine the optimal service level and optimal order quantity, for the vaccine.

The company is located in Tacoma, Washington. One of the engine's most critical components is the exhaust manifolds. The company purchases this item from the best manufacturers in the world. TJ is the buyer in charge of managing this item. TJ's purchasing agent currently submits an order release for this item every 4 weeks. The company's annual demand is 400 units (2 units per working day). Nordlund's relatively low volume and quality focus, rather than volume focus, means the company cannot take advantage of quantity discounts. The supplier has agreed to deliver this item within 1 week following an order release. For this reason, Nordlund has never had a shortage of exhaust manifolds. The total time between the release date and date of receipt is 1 week or 5 working days. The accounting has generated the following inventory-related costs. Procurement costs…arrow_forward
- Inventory can be very expensive for firms to hold and manage. One measure of how effective a firm is at managing their inventory is the inventory sales ratio (inventory/sales). Assume a firm has quarterly sales of 1 million and inventory is normally distributed with a mean of $500k and a standard deviation of $100k. simulate the expected inventory to sales ratio for 10,000 iterations. What is the expected mean inventory to sales ratio? What is the probability that the inventory sales ratio is less than 0.5?arrow_forwardConsider two products A and B that have identical cost, retail price and demand parameters and the same short selling season. The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product A is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year, and the leftovers will be salvaged at 65% of the cost. Product B will be re-offered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each leftover unit equal to 20% of the product's cost. How do the stocking quantities for these products compare? Multiple Choice Stocking quantity of product A is higher. Stocking quantity of product B is higher. The answer cannot be determined from the data provided. Stocking quantities are equal.arrow_forwardLast week, Chrissy met with her financial planner, Daniel.
