A company uses 5000 items per annum which has a price of $2 each. The ordering costs are $150 per order and holding costs are $1.50 per item per annum.
The company is offered a 5% discount (discounted price is $1.90) for orders of 5000 and over. Order cost and holding cost remain at $150 per order and $1.50 respectively.
Assuming that the company orders 5000 items per order, calculate the number of orders per annum, average stock, annual stock holding cost, annual order cost, annual inventory cost and the total annual cost of items and inventory.
Bruno Fruscalzo decided to start a small production
facility in Sydney to sell gelato to the local restaurants.
His local milk supplier charges $0.50 per kilogram of
milk plus a $15 delivery fee (the $15 fee is independent
of the amount ordered). Bruno's holding cost is $0.03
per kilogram per month. He needs 8,250 kilograms of
milk per month. Suppose Bruno orders 10,000
kilograms each time. What is his average inventory (in
kilograms)? Suppose Bruno orders 6,250 kilograms
each time. How many orders does he place with his
supplier each year? Note: Round your answer to 1
decimal place. How many kilograms should Bruno order
from his supplier with each order to minimize the sum
of the ordering and holding costs? If Bruno's storage
vessel can hold only 2,000 kilograms of milk, what
would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if
he orders this amount? If Bruno's storage vessel can
hold only 7, 000 kilograms of milk, what would be
Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders…

The camera will sell for $5500. Nikon wants to know, in advance, how many they will sell to retail stores and so they have instituted a policy under which stores can only place a single order for the new camera. Nikon sells the camera to CameraWorld for $2000 and offers CameraWorld a $250 credit for any unsold cameras when a newer model comes out. (The unsold cameras are then returned to Nikon for reprocessing and extraction of critical components that can be reused in subsequent cameras.) CameraWorld estimates that the demand for the camera follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 15 cameras. a) If CameraWorld wants to maximize its expected profit, how many cameras should the store buy from Nikon? b) If they buy that many cameras, what is the expected number of cameras that they sell before the next model comes out?arrow_forward
