Question

Assume that a production line operates such that the production lot size model is applicable. Assume that 

D = 1,600

 units per year, 

Co = $100,

 and 

Ch = $2

 per unit per year.

a.Compute the minimum cost production lot size for each of the following production rates. (Round your answers to the nearest integer.)

(i)

8,000 units per year

Q*=

(ii)

10,000 units per year

Q*=

(iii)

32,000 units per year

Q*=

(iv)

100,000 units per year

Q*=

b.Compute the EOQ recommended lot size using equation 

Q* = 

 

2DCo

Ch

Q*=

Comparing the EOQ lot size to the various production lot sizes in part (a), what observations can you make about the relationship between the EOQ model and the production lot size model? (Select all that apply.)

?Production lot size Q* and EOQ Q* are equal.

?As production rate P increases, production lot size Q* increases.

?As production rate P increases, production lot size Q* decreases.

?Production lot size Q* is greater than EOQ Q*.

?EOQ Q* is greater than production lot size Q*.

?Increasing production rate P does not affect production lot size Q*.

 

I assume parts (i, ii, iii, iiii) are solvable with the same equation but I am not sure if I am supposed to do it via excel or can do it by hand. I would prefer a hand system however I did not locate any implications to use excel is why I ask.
