5. Amanufacturer has been shipping his product (moderately heavy machines), mounted only on skids without.complete crating. To avoid crating he must ship in freight cars which contain only his machines. To do this he must pay freight on a car capacity load of 42 tons regardless of whether or not the car is completely full. In the past he actually has shipped only 30 tons in each car. The car load freight rate is P4. 10 per hundred pounds. If the machines are crated so that they can be shipped in mixed car lots, along with other merchandise, they can be shipped at a rate of P4.20 per hundred pounds with the freight bill computed only on the actual weight shipped. The cost of crating would be P25.00 per machine and would inerease the shipping weight from 1,200 to 1.220 pounds per machine. Which procedure should be followed? (I ton 2,200 lbs.) Ans. Shipping without crating is cheaper by P404.80 %3D

13.6. The Ambrosia Bakery makes cakes for freezing and subsequent sale. The bakery, which operates five days a week, 52 weeks a year, can produce cakes at the rate of 116 cakes per day. The bakery sets up the cake-production operation and produces until a predetermined number (Q) has been produced. When not producing cakes, the bakery uses its personnel and facilities for producing other bakery items. The setup cost for a production run of cakes is $700. The cost of holding frozen cakes in storage is $9 per cake per year. The annual demand for frozen cakes, which is constant over time, is 6000 cakes. Determine the following: a. Optimal production run quantity (Q) b. Total annual inventory costs c. Optimal number of production runs per year d. Optimal cycle time (time between run starts) e. Run length in working days
TT Beverage Co. is a distributor of beer, wine and soft drinks product. From amain warehouse located in Magusa, TRNC, TT supplies nearly 1000 retail stores withbeverage products. The beer inventory, which constitutes about 40% of the company’stotal inventory, averages approximately 50 000 cases. With an average cost per case ofapproximately 8MU, TT estimates the value of its beer inventory to be 400 000 MU.The warehouse manager has decided to do a detailed study of inventory costsassociated with Sergio Beer, the # 1 selling TT beer. The purpose of the study is toestablish the “how-much to order,” and “when to order” decisions for Segio Beer thatwill result in the lowest possible cost.The manager found that the demand is constant and 2 000 cases/week.The cost ofholding for the TT beer inventory is 25% of the value of the inventory.(Note that definding the holding cost as a % of the value of the product isconvenient, because it is easily transferable to other products)TT is paying 32…

40. An import/export firm has leased 20,000 cubic feet of storage space to store six items that it imports from the Far East. The relevant data for the six items it plans to store in the warehouse are Space per Unit (feet) Annual Demand Item (units) Cost per Unit DVD 32-inch flat screen TV 1,600 Blank DVD's 800 $200.00 150.00 30.00 12 18 8,000 (box of 10) Blank CD's 12,000 18.00 2 (box of 50) Compact stereo Telephone 400 1,200 250.00 24 12.50 3 Setup costs for each product amount to $2,000 per order, and holding costs are based on a 25 percent annual interest rate. Find the optimal order quantities for these six items so that the storage space is never exceeded. (Hint: Use a cell location for the Lagrange multiplier and experiment with different values until the storage constraint is satisfied as closely as possible.)
