The O'Neil Shoe manufacturing company will produce a special-style shoe if the order size is large enough to provide a reasonable profit. For each special-style shoe order, the company incurs fixed cost of P2,000 for the production setup. The variable cost is P60 per pair, and each pair sells for P80. How large must the shoe order be before O'Neil will break-even?

A company has a chance to reduce their inventory ordering costs by placing larger quantity orders using the discount schedule below. What should their optimal order quantity be if this company purchases this single inventory item with an e-mail ordering cost of $4, an annual holding cost rate (per unit) of 2% of the price/unit, and an annual demand of 10,000 units? Order quantity (units) Price/unit ($) 0 to 2,499 1.20 2,500 to 3,999 1.00 4,000 or more 0.98
A product is ordered once each year, and the reorder point without safety stock (dL) is 100 units. Inventory carrying cost is $10 per unit per year, and the cost of a stockout is $50 per year. Given the following demand probabilities during the reorder period, how much safety stock should be carried? DEMAND DURING REORDER PERIOD PROBABILITY 0 .1 50 .2 ROP 100 .4 150 .2 200 .1
Bold Vision, Inc., must purchase toner from a local supplier. The company does not wish to carry raw material inventory and therefore only purchases enough toner to satisfy the demand of each individual batch of cartridges. Each toner cartridge requires one pound of toner. The raw material supplier offers Bold Vision a purchase discount of $2.00 per pound if the company orders at least 2,000 pounds at a time. Should Bold Vision accept this offer and alter its toner purchase quantity?
Rocky Mountain Tire Centre sells 20,000 tires of a particular type per year. The ordering cost for each order is $40, and the holding cost is 20% of the purchase price of the tires per year. The purchase price is $20. per tire if fewer than 500 tires are ordered, $18. Per tire if more than 500 but fewer than 1,000 tires are ordered and $17. per tire if 1,000 or more tires are ordered. How many tires should Rocky Mountain order each time it places an order? Quantity Unit Price 1-499 $20. 500-999 $18. 1000 & over $17 Based on available information, lead time demand for CD-ROM drives averages 50 units (normally distributed), with a standard deviation of 5 drives. Management wants a 97% service level. What value of Z should be applied? How many drives should be carried as safety stock?
The annual demand for an item is 10,000 units. The cost to process an order is $75 and the annual inventory holding cost is 20% of item cost. What is the optimal order quantity, given the following price breaks for purchasing the item? What price should the firm pay per unit? What is the total annual cost at the optimal behavior? Quantity Price 1 – 9 $2.95 per unit 10 – 999 $2.50 per unit 1,000 – 4,999 $2.30 per unit 5,000 or more $1.85 per unit
Kids’ toys makes an order once each year an the reorder point, without safety stock, is 200 toys. The inventory holding cost is 5$ per toy per year, and cost of stockout is 15$ per toy per year. The following table shows the probability of demand during lead time: Demand during lead time Probability 0 0.05 100 0.15 200 0.35 300 0.25 400 0.2 With a safety stock of 100 toys, the stockout cost is? What is the probability that there is a need to have a safety stock of 100 toys? Explain your answer
The Warren Fischer Computer Corporation purchases 8000 transistors each year as components inminicomputers. The unit cost of each transistor is R10, and the cost of carrying each singletransistor in inventory for the year is R3. Ordering cost is R30 per order. Calculate the optimal orderquantity, the expected number of orders placed each year, the expected time between the orders?Assuming that fisher operates a 200-day working year.
A department store uses a (Q, R) policy to control its inventories. Sales of a pocket FM radioaverage 1.4 radios per week. The radio costs the store $50.00, and fixed costs of replenishmentamount to $20.00. Holding costs are based on a 20 percent annual interest charge, and thestore manager estimates a $12.50 cost of lost profit and loss of goodwill if the radio is demanded when out of stock. Reorder lead time is 2 weeks, and statistical studies have shownthat demand over the lead time is accurately described by a Poisson distribution. Find the optimallot sizes and reorder points for this item.
Penalty costs can be assessed only against the number of units of demand that cannot be satisfied, or against the number of units weighted by the amount of time thatan order stays on the books. Consider the following history of supply and demandtransactions for a particular part:Number of Items Demand duringMonth Received MonthJanuary 200 520February 175 1,640March 750 670April 950 425May 500 280June 2,050 550Assume that starting inventory at the beginning of January is 480 units.a. Determine the ending inventory each month. Assume that excess demands areback-ordered.b. Assume that each time a unit is demanded that cannot be supplied immediately,a one-time charge of $10 is made. Determine the stock-out cost incurred duringthe six months (1) if excess demand at the end of each month is lost, and (2) ifexcess demand at the end of each month is back-ordered.c. Suppose that each stock-out costs $10 per unit per month that the demandremains unfilled. If demands are filled on a first-come,…
Lia ITZY has determined that the annual demand for number 6 screws is 100,000 screws. Lia, who works in her brother’s hardware store, is in charge of purchasing. She estimates that it costs $10 every time an order is placed. This cost includes her wages, the cost of the forms used in placing the order, and so on. Furthermore, she estimates that the cost of carrying one screw in inventory for a year is one-half of 1 cent. Assume that the demand is constant throughout the year. QUESTION: How many number 6 screws should Lia order at a time if she wishes to minimize total inventory cost?

A company has a demand for 25,750 units annually. The holding cost is 33% of the item cost which is $10.00. The ordering or set-up cost is $250.00 per order and the lead time is 5 days. Assume that there are 350 days per year Suppose a price break of $50 per order is offered for purchase quantities of 2,000 or greater. Question: What is the reorder point for this inventory strategy? What is the inventory position immediately after an order is placed for the inventory strategy that you have selected?
