A food processor purchases corn for use in its products. The firm uses 700 pounds of corn per week and
purchases corn for $0.45 per pound from a supplier. The cost to hold one pound of corn in inventory for
one year is $0.09. Each time the firm orders corn from the supplier, the firm must pay a $48 order
processing charge.
Assume there are 52 weeks in a year and round your answer to the nearest integer value.
What is the optimal order quantity (in pounds)?

Models of inventory systems frequently consider the relationships among a beginning inventory,a production quantity, a demand or sales, and an ending inventory. For a givenproduction period j, letsj-1 = ending inventory from the previous period (beginning inventory for period j)xj = production quantity in period jdj = demand in period jsj = ending inventory for period ja. Write the mathematical relationship or model that shows ending inventory as a functionof beginning inventory, production, and demand.b. What constraint should be added if production capacity for period j is given by Cj?c. What constraint should be added if inventory requirements for period j mandate anending inventory of at least Ij?

- A shoe store orders shoes from the manufacturer and sells them at a mall. Storing shoes at the store costs $8 per shoe pair for a year. When reordering shoes from the manufacturer, there is a fixed cost of $16 per order as well as $4 per shoe pair. The retail store sells 750 shoe pairs each year.

In an average month, AAD sells a total of 160 vehicles. New vehicles represent 60 percent of sales, and used vehicles represent 40 percent of sales. Max has recently taken over the business from his father. His father always emphasized the importance of carefully managing the dealership's inventory. Inventory financing was a significant expense for AAD. Max's father consequently taught him to keep inventory turns as high as possible. Examining the dealership's performance over recent years, Max discovered that AAD had been turning its inventory (including both new and used vehicles) at a rate of 8 times per year. What is AAD's average inventory (including both new and used vehicles)? Drilling down into the numbers, Max has determined that the dealerships new and used businesses appear to behave differently.

This cost is formed by the sum of the annual order, annual storage and annual acquisition costs, with the economic purchase lot being the minimum point of the total annual cost curve. Regarding the economic lot, mark the correct alternative: ( ) The annual storage cost is independent of the economic lot size of purchase ( ) The annual ordering cost can be considered equal to zero if the company makes all purchases of materials without delay. ( ) The demand does not need to be known for the economic purchase lot to be found, as it is not used in the calculation of the total annual cost. ( ) The annual acquisition cost is calculated from the values of the safety stock level that the company intends to use throughout the year ( ) The economic purchase lot can also be found disregarding the annual acquisition cost, as this is always constantarrow_forward
