  1. Scenario 9.9
    "Gollee those cats sure go through a lot of food," Geoff exclaimed as he saw the shopping list pad that had been pre-printed with the words "cat food" at the top. He pondered a different approach to shopping for the furry little darlings, reviewed his shopping records, and discovered the following. The price of cat food has held steady at 89 cents per can. Despite feigning indifference, each of the seven cats nibbles their way through an average of one can per day, three hundred sixty five days a year. The price of gasoline has held constant at $3.50 per gallon and his pickup uses a gallon each way to the cat food store. The cost to hold a can of cat food is 10% of the unit price.


    Use the information in Scenario 9.9 to determine the average pantry space occupied by cat food if each can takes up 13 cubic inches and Geoff obeys an EOQ policy for managing the cat food purchase process.
