That One Book sells its books through The Witch and the Wardrobe bookstores. It costs That One Book $0.80 to print each book; it sells the book to The Witch and the Wardrobe for $2.50. The Witch and the Wardrobe then sells the books at retail for $6.00. Whatever doesn’t sell gets thrown away. Demand for the book each issue is normal with a mean of 5219 and a standard deviation of 1610.
To give The Witch and the Wardrobe incentive to order more books, it proposes a revenue-sharing contract. Instead of selling the book to The Witch and the Wardrobe for $2.50, That One Book will sell its books to The Witch and the Wardrobe for only $1.00. However, for each book that The Witch and the Wardrobe sells at retail, The Witch and the Wardrobe must give $2.00 back to That One Book.
With this revenue sharing agreement in place, what is the optimal order amount that will maximize The Witch and the Wardrobe expected profit?

Economic Production Quantity (EPQ)

A bicycle manufacturer uses 50,000 wheels per year for its popular cycle. The firm can make its own wheels, which it can produce at 600 per day. Assembly is uniform numbers over the entire year. The carrying cost is $1.00 per wheel per year, and the setup cost for a production run of wheels is $45. Consider that the plant operates 250 days per year, what is the order quantity and Imax?
Using the same numbers, calculate the Average Inventory per day to determine inventory performance.
During the last 5 weeks, demands for a certain SKU at a retailer were 7 units (5 weeks ago), 4 units, 4 units, 4 units, and 5 units (last week). The retailer uses a period review model with order-up-to level 71 units, a review period of 2 weeks, and the lead time is 11 weeks. It is time to order. How much should the retailer order?
