80x dollars per year, where x is the number of years since installation. However, the cost of maintaining the new machinery is C(x) : = 100x
X
(a) Find the year x at which the maintenance cost C(x) will equal the savings S(x). (At this time, the new machinery should be replaced. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
X =
years
(b) Find the accumulated net savings (in dollars) [savings S(x) minus cost C(x)] during the period from t = 0 to the replacement time found in part (a). (Round your answer to the nearest whole
number.)
A manufacturer buys certain equipment form suppliers at $30 per unit. Total requirement is 200 units/ quarter. Ineventory carrying cost is 10% /year. Cost of placing an order is $100. Rent, insurance, storing per unit per year $3.
SOLVE for the following:
EOQ=?
N=?
T=? (in months)
Total cost
If 1300 is the current order quantity, how much would they save by switching to the EOQ?
