Appendix: EPR Rachelle Razer has taken a job as production superintendent in a plant that makes, among other products, jewelry cases. She is trying to determine how many cases to produce on each production run (EPR). Discussions reveal that last year the plant made 14,100 such cases, and this level of demand is expected for the coming year. The setup cost of each run is $400, and the cost of carrying a case in inventory for a year is estimated at $2.50. a. Calculate the EPR for jewelry cases and the total cost associated with it. Note: Round your answers to the nearest whole unit. ERP 2,124 ✓ units Total cost $ 5,312 b. Recalculate the EPR and total cost if the annual cost of carrying a case in inventory is $10 and the setup cost is $100. Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.

Problem Solving: Lila Battle has determined that the annual demand for number 6 screws is 100,000 screws. Lila, who works in her brother’s hardware store, is in charge of purchasing. She estimates that it costs $10 every time an order is placed. This cost includes her wages, the cost of the forms used in placing the order, and so on. Furthermore, she estimates that the cost of carrying one screw in inventory for a year is one-half of 1 cent. Assume that the demand is constant throughout the year. a. How many number 6 screws should Lila order at a time if she wishes to minimize total inventory cost? b. How many orders per year would be placed? What would the annual ordering cost be? c. What would the average inventory be? What would the annual holding cost be?

An auto parts supplier sells Hardy-brand batteries to car dealers and auto mechanics. The annual demand is approximately 1,200 batteries. The supplier pays $28 for each battery and estimates that the annual holding cost is 30 percent of the battery’s value. It costs approximately $20 to place an order (managerial and clerical costs). The supplier currently orders 100 batteries per month. What is the economic order quantity? Based on your answer above, how many orders will be placed per year using the EOQ? Determine the ordering, handling, and total inventory costs for the EOQ. Determine the effective annualized cost of financing for the following credit terms, assuming that (1) discounts are not taken, (2) accounts are paid at the end of the credit period, and (3) use 365=day year: a. 1/10, n/30; b. 3/10, n/30; c. 3/10, n/60; d. 2/10, n/90
Ross White's machine shop uses 2500 brackets during the course of a year, and this usage is relativelyconstant throughout the year. These brackets are purchased from a supplier 100 miles away for $15 each, and the lead time is 2 days. The holding cost perbracket per year is $1.50 (or 10% of the unit cost) and the ordering cost is $18.75. There are 250 working days per year. Upon hearing that Ross White is considering the producing the brackets in-house, the supplier has notified Ross that the purchase price would drop from $15 per bracket to $14.50 per bracket if Ross purchasethe brackets in lots of 1000. i) What is the total annual cost of inventory if Ross buys the brackets in lots of 1000 at $14.50 each? ii) Given the options of purchasing the brackets at $15 each, producing them in-house at $14.80, and taking advantage of the discount, what is your recommendation to Ross White?
A service garage uses 204 boxes of cleaning cloths a year. The boxes cost $12 each. The cost to place one order is $15, and the cost to hold one box in inventory for a year is $2.40. Using this information, what is our total holding and ordering cost if we currently order 12 boxes at a time?
