To approximate: the optimal order size to the nearest hundred units.
Answer to Problem 106E
The required optimal size of order
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The ordering and transportation cost
Where
Calculation:
Now let
Using the rational zero test method, the leading coefficient is 3 and the constant term is -36000.
Possible rational zeros:
There are lot of possibility of rational solution, so it is better to draw a graph, that some of possibility discard.
It is clear from the graph there is one positive rational solution
Hence the required optimal size of order
