The ordering cost is $109 per order and the holding cost is  $14.6 per tire per year. The supplier always delivers the shipment within 13 days after receiving a  replenishment order from JTP. The company operates 250 days per year. Assume EOQ model is applicable.  What is the number of orders per year if JTP uses an order quantity of 1,728 tires? Use at least 4 decimal places.

The restaurant operates 50 weeks per year. The restaurant would like to use an inventory system that minimizes inventory cost. The restaurant has figured that the most economical order size or EOQ is approx. 409 (rounding up the decimals). Suppose that things have become uncertain and that customer demand is no more constant. Customer demand is now normally distributed with mean being the same as given in the problem description and standard deviation = 30 units per week.
