Question
C. What is the constraint function?
A pharmacist wants to establish an optimal inventory policy for a new antibiotic that requires refrigeration in storage. The pharmacist expects to sell 6000 packages of this antibiotic at a steady rate during the next year. She plans to place several
orders of the same size spaced equally throughout the year. The ordering cost for each delivery is $15, and carrying costs, based on the average number of packages in inventory, amount to $8 per year for one package. Use this information to
answer the following questions.
(a) Let x be the order quantity and r the number of orders placed during the year. Find the inventory cost (ordering cost plus carrying cost) in terms of x and r.
C= 15r +4x
(b) Find the constraint function.
A= (Type an equation.)
