Practice Question:
1. A small local pharmacy, Tacky Pharm sells self-test kits for diabetic patients. These kits cost Tacky $15 each. Customers want to buy the kits at a rate of 240 per week. The pharmacy operates 52 weeks per year. Tacky Pharm estimates ordering cost at $50. Annual holding costs are 20 percent of the unit cost. Lead time is 2 weeks. Using the information given,
(1) Calculate the economic order quantity.
(2) Calculate the total annual costs using the EOQ.
(3) Determine the reorder point.
Question 31
Firm B's demand for a product is 10 units per month. Its supplier charges an ordering cost of $5 per order and $10 per unit with a 10% discount for orders of 25 units or higher. Firm B incurs a 30% annual holding cost. How much does Firm B save each year (including purchasing, ordering, and holding costs) if it purchases enough units to get the discount?
