In Lecture 5 we extended the newsvendor solution to the infinite horizon problem when there is no order lead time. Now suppose that the order lead time is L periods throughout the infinite horizon: if an order is placed at the beginning of period t, it arrives at the beginning of period t+L. Can we still extend the newsvendor solution to the infinite horizon problem in the case of backordering? Why or why not? Would your answer change in the case of lost sales? Why or why or not? I WANT LONG AND CLEAR EXPLANATION NOT AN 1 SENTENCE!!!!!!

E - Max uses the basic EOQ model to determine the order quantity . They used to buy electronics from a Korean supplier in Dubai with a lead - time of 5 days . Recently , the supplier has decided to close the warehouse in Dubai and deliver all items from Korea directly to customers in Oman with a lead time of 10 days . Under this situation , the economic order quantity will (Q^ * ) 1)double 2)None of these 3)increase , but not double 4)decrease by a factor of two 5)do remain the same
Why does the fixed-period model have to cover the time period of T + L, while the fixed-order quantity model must cover only the time period L?
An item has normally distributed demand with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 50. They order a week with one week lead time. Backorders are allowed. A) With an order-up-to level of 300, on-hand inventory of 200, and on-order inventory of 60, how much will be ordered this week? B) What is the standard deviation of demand over 2 weeks?
The difference(s) between the basic EOQ model and the pro-duction order quantity model is (are) that: a) the production order quantity model does not require theassumption of known, constant demand.b) the EOQ model does not require the assumption ofnegligible lead time.c) the production order quantity model does not require theassumption of instantaneous delivery.d) all of the above.
A logistics company applies the EOQ model to manage its inventory of spare parts used for maintenance work for their trucks. Daily demand is normally distributed. The average daily demand is 10 units, with a standard deviation of 5 units. The EOQ is found to be 400 units and used as the order size for all orders. Order lead time is 4 days. Currently, the firm has just received an order. In how many days do they need to place the next order? 4 days 36 days 40 days None of the above. Demand is random, so the time until they reach the ROP again is also random

Joe is selling Christmas trees to pay his college tuition.He purchases trees for $10 each and sells them for $25each. The number of trees he can sell is normally distributedwith a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 30. How manytrees should Joe purchase?
True or False: Single-Period inventory model makes the assumption that the demand follows a standard normal distribution.
Torrance Refinery produces approximately 23.1 Million barrels of gasoline per year. A California distributor sources its gasoline from the Torrance refinery. The annual demand for gasoline at the California distributor is 5.3 Million barrels. The cost of storing gasoline is approximately $29 per barrel (per year). The cost of placing an order to the Torrance refinery (including shipping) is $7300 per order. Orders will be received gradually instead of delivered all at once (hence EPQ). At what quantity will the total cost of procurement be the lowest? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do NOT include a comma. For example, answer like 103542 and NOT 103,542 Answer: 58845 Check
Please provide STEP BY STEP instructions using the SINGLE PERIOD MODEL. Cynthia Knott’s oyster bar buys fresh Louisiana oysters for $5 per pound and sells them for $9 per pound. Any oysters not sold that day are sold to her cousin, who has a nearby grocery store, for $2 per pound. Cynthia believes that demand follows the normal distribution, with a mean of 100 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. How many pounds should she order each day?
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 15,604 units of component JY21 per year. Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a lead time of 7 days. The unit purchase cost is $25.6 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $121 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 10.5 percent of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 2,640 units per order, what is the annual holding cost? Use at least 4 decimal places.
Your firm uses a periodic review system for all SKUs classified, using ABC analysis, as B or C items. Further, it uses a continuous review system for all SKUs classified as A items. The demand for a specific SKU, currently classified as an A item, has been dropping. You have been asked to evaluate the impact of moving the item from continuous review to periodic review. Assume your firm operates 52 weeks per year; the item’s current characteristics are:Demand 1D2 = 15,080 units/yearOrdering cost 1S2 = $125.00/orderHolding cost 1H2 = $3.00/unit/yearLead time 1L2 = 5 weeksCycle@service level = 95 percentDemand is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of weekly demand of 64 units.a. Calculate the item’s EOQ.b. Use the EOQ to define the parameters of an appropriate continuous review and periodic review system for this item.c. Which system requires more safety stock and by how much?
