ABC Company plans to construct a 60,000 sq. ft private warehouse and rent public warehouse as needed. Warehouse inventory turns at the rate of 2 times per month. One pound of merchandise occupies 0.2 cubic feet of warehouse space and can be stacked 10 feet high. Given aisles, and normal operating efficiency, only 50 percent of the total warehouse space is actually used for storage. Assume the facility is being built to size so no additional space is allowed for future product growth.
A private warehouse can be constructed for $36 per sq. ft. and can be amortized over 20 years. Annual fixed costs amount to $20 per sq. ft. of total space. The cost of operation is $0.03 per pound of throughput.
Space may also be rented for a storage charge on inventory of $0.06 per pound per month and a handling charge of $0.05 per pound of throughput. Monthly demands for a typical year are as follows:

The company's Machinery Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 4,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require P23.00 per unit in variable production costs. The Machinery Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at P37.00 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the special part, the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the YR24 that it presently is producing. The YR24 sells for P40.00 per unit, and requires P28.00 per unit in variable production costs. Packaging and shipping costs of the YR24 are P3.00 per unit. Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be only P1.50 per unit. The Parts Division is now producing and selling 15,000 units of the YR24 each year.
