Medtronic sells medical devices. The company enjoys many growth opportunities, and so it measures its inventory holding cost at the rate of 25% per year. It currently turns over its inventory 3 times per year. Its gross margin (the difference between revenue and cost) as a percentage of its revenue is an enviable 65%.
a. For an item that costs Medtronic $600 to produce, what would be the cost ($s) to hold this item for one year in inventory?
b. For an item that costs Medtronic $350 to produce, what is the cost to hold it in inventory ($s)? (Assume it remains in inventory for the average amount of time for the company.)
A firm that sells 5,000 blivets per month is trying to determine how many blivets to keep in inventory. The financial manager has determined that it costs $200 to place an order.The cost of holding inventory is 4 cents per month per average blivet in inventory. A five-day lead time is required for delivery of goods ordered. (This lead time is known with certainty.) The operating days per year is 250.

- The owner and manager of a hardware store reevaluates his inventory policy for hammers. sells an average of 50 hammers a month, so you have placed purchase orders for 50 hammers with a distributor at a cost of $20 each at the end of each month. But the owner does not place all the store orders and find that this takes much of your time. He estimates that the value of his time spent ordering hammers is $75. a) What must be the unit cost of maintaining hammers for the current policy of the hardware store to be Optimal according to the EOQ model? b) If the distributor delivers an order for hammers in 5 business days (out of an average of 25 per month), what should be the reorder point, according to the EOQ model?arrow_forwardA manufacturing company uses 25,000 components at an even rate during a year.
