Mattress Firm sells water beds and assorted supplies. Their best-selling bed has an annual demand of 395 units. Ordering cost is $43; holding cost is $5 per unit per year. a) To minimize the total cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? EOQ = units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) If the holding cost per unit was $6.00 instead of $5, what would the optimal order quantity be? New EOQ = units (round your response to the nearest whole number).
Rafiki Bar uses 10,000 cases of millet beer monthly. One case costs Shs.5,000. Holding cost is 30% of the cost of a case p.a while ordering cost is Shs.100,000 per order. The firm works 360 days in a year while lead time is 6 days. Required: ii. Determine the days between orders and the reorder point iii. Determine the total cost of the inventory policy iv. Suppose actual holding cost turns out to be 15% instead of 30% and the inventory policy above is implemented for a year, determine the cost of prediction error if every other parameter estimate turns out as predicted.
