A bey Kuru villa, of Parkside Plumbing, uses I ,200 ofa certain spare part that costs $25 for each order, with an annualholding cost of $24.a) Calculate the total cost for order sizes of25, 40, 50, 60, and 100.b) Identify the economic order quantity and consider the implicationsfor making an error in calculating economic orderquantity.
Given the following information, formulate an inventory management system. The item is demanded 50 weeks a year. PARAMETER Item cost Order cost Annual holding cost Annual demand Average weekly demand Standard deviation of weekly demand. Lead time. Service probability Optimal order quantity Reorder point units units VALUE $12.00 $194.00/order 21% of item cost 24,700 units 494 /week 20 units 2 week 95% a. Determine the order quantity and reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find your z-value and then round that z- value to 2 decimal places. Do not round any other intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number.)
