James Beerd bakes cheesecakes and Black Forest cakes. During any month, he can bake at most 65 cakes. The costs per cake and the demands for cakes, which must be met on time, are listed in Table 33. It costs 500 to hold a cheesecake, and 40¢ to hold a Black Forest cake, in inventory for a month. Formulate an LP to minimize the total cost of meeting the next three months’ demands. table 33

Chip Bilton sells sweatshirts at State U football games. He is equally likely to sell 200 or400 sweatshirts at each game. Each time Chip places an order, he pays $500 plus $5 for each sweatshirt he orders. Each sweatshirt sells for $8. A holding cost of $2 per shirt (because of the opportunity cost for capital tied up in sweatshirts as well as storage costs) is assessed against each shirt left at the end of a game. Chip can store at most 400 shirts after each game. Assuming that the number of shirts ordered by Chip must be a multiple of 100, determine an ordering policy that maximizes expected profits earned during the first three games of the season. Assume that any leftover sweatshirts have a value of $6.
The campus store at a large Midwestern university sells writing tablets to students, faculty, and staff. They sell more tablets near exam time. During a typical 10-week quarter,the pattern of sales is 2,280, 1,120, 360, 3,340, 1,230, 860, 675, 1,350, 4,600, 1,210.Thepads cost the store $1.20 each, and holding costs are based on a 30 percent annual interest rate. The cost of employee time, paperwork, and handling amounts to $30 per order.Assume 50 weeks per year.b. The bookstore manager has decided that it would be more economical if thedemand were the same each week. In order to even out the demand he limits weeklysales (to the annoyance of his clientele). Hence, assume that the total demand forthe 10-week quarter is still the same, but the sales are constant from week to week.Determine the optimal order policy in this case and compare the total holding andordering cost over the 10 weeks to the answer you obtained in part (a). (You may assume continuous time for the purposes of your…

The annual demand for a product of XYZ company is 12.000. The cost of ordering this product is CU25 and the holding cost is CU0.5/(piece year). The company in question wishes to follow the "Pending Order" stock policy and the holding cost is CU5/(piece year). The lead time for this product is 2 days and it is worked for 300 days a year. In this case, calculate the economic order quantity, the highest pending order quantity and the highest stock level

A bakery that orders cartons of bread mix has used an EOQ model to determine that an order quantity of 90 cartons per order is economically optimal. The bakery needs 150 cartons per month to meet demand. It takes L days for the bakery’s supplier to deliver an order. When should the bakery place its orders when L = 2, when L = 5, and when L = 10? (Assume that the bakery and its supplier both work seven-day weeks and that there are 30 days per month.)
Amazon sells X units (X= 2017056) of consumerelectronics from Samsung every year. Each unit costs $120 and Amazon hasa holding cost of 20 percent. The fixed clerical and transportation cost foreach order Amazon places with Samsung is $4,000. What is the optimal sizeof the order that Amazon should place with Samsung? What is the totalannual cost incurred by Amazon for optimal lot size. With the goal ofreducing inventories, Amazon would like to reduce the size of each order itplaces with Samsung to 2,000 units .How much should it reduce the fixed costper order for an order of 2,000 units to be optimal?
A book shop is planning to order calendars for sale starting in October. Only one order is placed. The calendars cost $1.50 and the shop sells them for $3 each. At the end of December, the shop reduces the calendar price to $1 and can sell all the surplus calendars at this price. The October-to-December demand can be approximated by a normal distribution with = 500 calendars and = 120 calendars.1. What inventory model should be used to determine the order quantity to maximize the total expected proÖt? Why?2. What is the optimal service level?3. How many calendars should the shop order so as to maximize the total expected proÖt?

Pingu Company manufactures winter jackets. Setup costs are $2.00. Penguin manufactures 4,000 jackets evenly throughout the year. Using the economic order quantity approach, the optimal production run would be 200 when the cost of carrying one jacket in inventory for one year is 0.40. The given solution is this: 200 = 2*setup cost* Annual Demand / Carrying cost200 = 2*2*4000/ Carrying cost40000 = 16000 / Carrying costCarrying cost = 16000 / 40000Carrying Cost = 0.4 Hence, the cost of carrying one jacket in inventory for one year is 0.4 QUESTION: How did you get the 40,000 (that was divided to 16,000)?
