A company operating under a continuous review system has an average demand of 50 units per week for the item it produces. The standard deviation in weekly demand is 20 units. The lead-time for the item is six weeks, and it costs the company $30 to process each order. The holding cost for each unit is $10 per year. The company operates 52 weeks per year.

Redleaf company's market research department works on the manufacture and marketing of a winter tire for vehicles. Currently the price is 10$, and the demand is 13000 units. When the price is increased to 15$, the company expects the demand to be 8500 units (assume that price is linearly related to demand.). Company is following a make-to-order policy for their production, meaning that they make production as much as ordered from their dealers. The dealers make orders 3 times a year, on January, May and September. The company has 23 dealers, who do not have any capacity restriction on their orders. Yet, the above information is a country-wise research, and shows the aggregate demand (sum of all dealers' orders) for each price. Regardless of the production amount, the company faces with a 2170$ of administrative cost for production, in addition to 1,3 $ cost of raw materials and labour costs per each units produced. If we define price as a function of demand (P(d)) using the…
A company has established that the relationship between the sales price for one of its products and the quantity sold per month is approximately p = 79 – 0.11D units. The fixed cost is $800 per month and the variable cost $32 per unit produced. What number of units, D*,should be produced per month and sold to maximize the profit per month related to the product?
For a particular jacket that is ordered for the Holidays, the Variable Cost = $150 and the jacket will be priced for sale at $250. It is estimated that the Average Demand will be 5000 units. If the jacket does not sell at the retail price during the Holidays time period, then it will be sold to an overstock discounter for $30. Given the relationship between Optimal Quantity and Average Demand, should the Optimal Quantity for this jacket be:
Assume a company expects to sell 6 million packages of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! in the first year after introduction but expects that 70 percent of those sales will come from buyers who would normally purchase existing Pop-Tart flavors (that is, cannibalized sales). The price for a package of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! is $1.30 and its variable cost is $0.65, when the price for a package of original Pop-Tart is $1.10 with variable cost of $0.30. Assuming the sales of regular Pop-Tarts are normally 300 million packages per year and that the company will incur an increase in fixed costs of $450,000 during the first year to launch Gone Nutty! will the new product be profitable for the company? Determine the unit contributions and the loss for every package cannibalized from the original product. (Round to the nearest cent.) Unit contribution original Pop-Tarts $ Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! Loss for every package cannibalized S
A company manufactures two types of leaf blowers: an electric Turbo model and a gas-powered Tornado model. The company's production plan calls for the production of at least 690 blowers per month. It costs $74 to produce each Turbo model and $111 to manufacture each Tornado model, and the company has at most $63,640 per month to use for production. Find the number of units that should be produced to maximize profit for the company, and the maximum profit, if the profit on each Turbo model is $35 and the profit on each Tornado model is $40. The maximum value is $ by producing integers or decimals.) units of the Turbo model and units of the Tornado model. (Type
A manufacturer estimates that its product can be produced at a total cost of c(x)=40,000+100x+x^3 dollars. If the manufacturer's total revenue from the sale of x units is R(x)=4300x dollars, determine the level of production x that will maximize the profit. Find the maximum profit.
You manufacture ceramic lawn ornaments.

A) How many ornaments must you make and sell to break even. B) How many ornaments must you make and sell to maximize profit. C) What is the maximum profit. D) How many ornaments must you make and sell in order to earn a profit of $1657.
(You will need to use a spreadsheet to tackle these questions.) 1. How much of q can be produced for £60,000 if the total cost function is TC = 86 + 152q − 12q2 + 0.6q3? 2. What output can be produced for £150,000 if TC = 130 + 62q − 3.5q2 + 0.15q3? 3. Solve for x when 0 = −1,340 + 14x + 2x2 − 1.5x3 + 0.2x4 + 0.005x5 − 0.0002x6
Thranduil company’s market research department is working on the pricing of a product. The field research shows that average demand is expected to be 8000 units at price 50 TL. From this point, each 1 TL change in price will negatively affect demand with a magnitude of 100 units. Fixed and variable costs are confronted for producing the product. According to the information obtained from the financial department, 200,000 TL is the estimate of fixed costs and 20 TL is the estimate of variable costs per unit produced. Assume that all units produced are sold.Which of the following prices is the one that maximizes the company's profit?
The 24-Hour Mart operates a chain of supermarkets. Its best-selling soft drink is Fruitslice. Demand (D) in April for Fruitslice at its Regina supermarket is estimated to be 7,200 cases (24 cans in each case). In March, the Regina supermarket estimated the ordering costs per purchase order (P) for Fruitslice to be $36. The carrying costs (C) of each case of Fruitslice in inventory for a month were estimated to be $1.20. At the end of March, the Regina 24-Hour Mart reestimated its carrying costs to be 1.80 per case per month to take into account an increase in warehouse-related costs.

A product has a variable cost of $5 per unit, and demand is known to be linear. If the product is priced at $45 it is expected that none will be sold. For every dollar decrease in price, the demand is expected to increase by two additional units. What is the optimal price for this product
