The information regarding the neckties is: Demand = 1000 pairs/week; Lead time = 3 weeks; Order cost=$20/order; Holding cost= $10.00/pair/yr; Cycle service level = 95%; Standard deviation of weekly demand = 48; and Number of weeks per year = 52. To calculate the relative frequency use the following values: a) Units Sold and Number of Days b) Number of Days and Standard Deviation of Weekly Demand c) Units Sold and Demand d) Lead Time and Holding Costarrow_forwardA company wishes to establish an EOQ for an item for which the annual demandis $800,000, the ordering cost is $32, and the cost of carrying inventory is 20%.Calculate the following:a.

How do the costs of carrying inventory compare with the costs of ordering?arrow_forward
- a. Calculate the average aggregate inventory value.b. Calculate the inventory turnover.c. The grocery store operates 52 weeks per year. Calculate the weeks of supply.d. The weekly average inventory listed above cannot change much since the grocery store is limited in storage capacity, and can therefore assumed to remain constant over time. The store has calculated that having less than 3 weeks of supply will create problems keeping stock available for clients. What annual cost of goods sold will bring about this condition (3 weeks of supply)?e. The grocery store is increasingly popular and management has calculated that, on average, the cost of goods sold increase by $5 million per year, reflecting better sales. How many years will it take for the grocery store to require expansion?arrow_forwardAnother way to look at the concept of inventory turnover is by measuring sales per square foot. Taking the average inventory at retail and dividing it by the number of square feet devoted to a particular product will give you average sales per square foot.

It is important to know the amount of sales per square foot your merchandise is producing, both on average and annually. These figures should be tracked monthly and compared with industry standards for businesses of similar size and type. You own a large multi product electronics store in a regional mall. The store has 10,200 square feet of selling space divided into five departments. (a) From the table below, calculate the average and annual sales (in $) per square foot.
