Suppose a company has made the necessary capital investment such that a
particular input can now be manufactured by the company at a rate of 7 500 units
per annum. The forecasted annual demand for the input by the company is 3 000
units. It costs the company $100 each time an order is placed and the cost of
storing 1 unit for the year is $10.

20.
A company uses a special bracket in the manufacture of its products which it
orders from outside suppliers. The appropriate data are:
Demand
=
2,000 per annum
Order cost
=
$20 per order
Carrying cost
=
20% of item price
Basic item price
=
$10 per bracket
The company is offered the following discounts on the basic price:
For order quantities
400 – 799
less 2%
800 – 1,599
less 4%
1,600 and over
less 5%
Establish the most economical quantity to order.
21.
An inventory system follows the adapted basic model (with gradual
replenishment). The demand rate is constant at 1600 articles per year, the price
per article is $1.80, the holding cost is 10% of price per year and the setup cost is
$12 per run. If the production rate is 5000 articles per year, calculate: the
optimum run size (EBQ), the run time, the cycle length and the average inventory
level.
