I Carry rents trucks for moving and hauling. Each truck costs the company anaverage of $8,000, and the inventory of trucks varies monthly depending on thenumber that are rented out. During the first eight months of last year, I Carry hadthe following ending inventory of trucks on hand:Month Number of Trucks Month Number of TrucksJanuary 26 May 13February 38 June 9March 31 July 16April 22 August 5I Carry uses a 20 percent annual interest rate to represent the cost of capital.Yearly costs of storage amount to 3 percent of the value of each truck, and the costof liability insurance is 2 percent.a. Determine the total handling cost incurred by I Carry during the period Januaryto August.

Your company makes hand sanitizer in two lines: Moisturizing+, and StandardSoap. On the market, Moisturizing+ retails for $175/L and StandardSoap retails for $95/L. You make the hand sanitizer by combining lotion, soap, and secret ingredient SpecialX. These ingredients are purchased from a mysterious supplier, and you can purchase at most 4000L of lotion, 5000L of soap, and 750L of SpecialX in a month. Lotion costs $25/L, soap costs $10/L, and SpecialX costs $35/L. To make 1L of Moisturizing+, you need to combine 0.5L of lotion, 0.3L of soap, and 0.2L of SpecialX. To make 1L of StandardSoap, you need to combine 0.4L of lotion, 0.55L of soap, and 0.05L of SpecialX. Your company has committed to donating 500L of StandardSoap to a local charity. Since this is a donation, you will not receive any revenue. However, the costs and purchasing limits apply to both the hand sanitizer that is sold on the market and donated to charity.

Please do not give solution in image format thanku Deltic sells this component for 55 per unit with a 4-month delivery lead time. Assume Deltic covers all transportation and related processing until delivery. TCX’s demand forecast for the upcoming selling season (12 months) is a normal distribution with mean 13500 and standard deviation 3736,4 . TCX sells each unit, after integrating their proprietary software, for 135. Assume that TCX uses a holding cost rate of 25 %, and any leftover units can be sold for 30 on average. Due to the long lead time and high minimum order quantity required, TCX is planning on a single order from Deltic to meet their needs in the next year. How many of these components should TCX order? Calculate the resulting expected annual profits for TCX.
