QUIZ 1 1

5.1

Bell Technologies stocks and sells its own brand of laptop computers. It costs the firm $543 each

time it places an order with the manufacturer for laptops. The cost of carrying one laptop in

inventory for a year is $210. The store man- ager estimates that total annual demand for the

computers will be 1,800 units with a constant demand rate throughout the year. Bell’s policy is

never to have stockouts of the store-brand laptop. The store is open for business seven days per

week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Determine the following:

a) Optimal order quantity per order

EOQ = √ [(2*1800*543)/ (210)]

√ (1954800/210)

√9308.57 = 96.48

EOQ = 97 units per order

b) Minimum total annual inventory costs

TAC = [(1800/97) * 543] + [(97/2) * 210]

10076.29 + 10185

TAC = $20261.29

c) The number of orders per year

Orders per Year = 1800 / 97

Orders per Year = 18.56 (round up to 19 orders per year)

d) The time between orders (in working days)

TBO = 97 / (1800/365)

97 / 4.93

TBO = 19.67 days


QUIZ 1 2

5.3

Premier Golf Shop operates 300 days per year. The shop pays $300 for a particular beginner

golf club set purchased from a local manufacturer. The annual holding cost per club set is

estimated to be 25 percent of the dollar of the inventory. The shop sells an average of 20 per

week. The ordering cost for each order is $50. Determine the optimal order quantity and the total

minimum cost.

Holding Cost = 300 * .25 = 75

Total Annual Demand = (300/6) * 20 = 50 * 20 = 1000

EOQ = √ [(2*1000*50)/ (75)]


√ (100000/75)

√1333.33

36.51

EOQ = 37 units

TAC = [(1000/37) * 50] + [(37/2) * 75]

1351.35 + 1387.5

TAC = $2738.85

5.5

10,200 per year. It costs $120 per order of mugs, and it costs $1.35 per mug per year to keep the
QUIZ 1 3

mugs in stock. Once an order for mugs is placed, it takes seven days to receive the order from the

distributor. Determine the following:

a) Optimal order size

EOQ = √ [(2*10200*120)/ (1.35)]

√ (2448000/1.35)

√1813333.333

1346.60

EOQ = 1347 units per order

b) Minimum total annual inventory cost

TAC = [(10200/1347) * 120] + [(1347/2) * 1.35]

908.69 + 498.89

TAC = $1407.58

c) Reorder point

R = (10200/365) * 7 + 0

27.95 * 7

R = 195.62 units
