- Question 3 Yellow Press, Inc., buys paper in 1,500-pound rolls for printing. Annual demand is 2,750 rolls. The cost per roll is $875, and the annual holding cost is 28 percent of the cost. Each order costs $75. How many rolls should Yellow Press order at a time? _______________rolls at a time. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) What is the time between orders? (Assume 200 workdays per year.) __________________days. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.)Question-1- Please read the scenario below and answer the questions. The maximum word-count limit of each answer is 200 words. Mention separate heading for each part. Controlling inventory is one of Wheeled Coach’s toughest problems. Operating according to a strategy of mass customization and responsiveness, management knows that success is dependent on tight inventory control. Anything else results in an inability to deliver promptly, chaos on the assembly line, and a huge inventory investment. Wheeled Coach finds that almost 50% of the cost of every ambulance it manufactures is purchased materials. A large proportion of that 50% is in chassis (purchased from Ford), aluminum (from Reynolds Metal), and plywood used for flooring and cabinetry construction (from local suppliers). Wheeled Coach tracks these A inventory items quite carefully, maintaining tight security/control and ordering carefully so as to maximize quantity discounts while minimizing on-hand stock.

- Question No 2: Parker Hi-Fi Systems, located in Wellesley, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb, assembles and sells the very finest home theater systems. The systems are assembled with components from the best manufacturers worldwide. Although most of the components are procured from wholesalers on the East Coast, some critical items, such as LCD screens, come directly from their manufacturer. For instance, the LCD screens are shipped via air from Foxy, Ltd., in Taiwan, to Boston’s Logan airport, and the top-of-the-line speakers are purchased from the world-renowned U.S. manufacturer Boss. Parker’s purchasing agent, Raktim Pal, submits an order release for LCD screens once every 4 weeks. The company’s annual requirements total 500 units (2 per working day), and Parker’s per unit cost is $1,500. (Because of Parker’s relatively low volume and the quality focus—rather than volume focus— of many of Parker’s suppliers, Parker is seldom able to obtain quantity discounts.)
