Chapter 20, Problem 2CE
Sterling Corporation has an EOQ of 5,000 units. The company uses an average of 500 units per day. An order to replenish the part requires a lead time of five days.
Required:
- 1. Calculate the reorder point, using Equation 20.3.
- 2. Graphically display the reorder point, where the vertical axis is inventory (units) and the horizontal axis is time (days). Show two replenishments, beginning at time zero with the economic order quantity in inventory.
- 3. What if the average usage per day of the part is 500 units but a daily maximum usage of 575 units is possible? What is the reorder point when this demand uncertainty exists?

Maximum usage5,000 usage
Minimum usage 2,000 units
Required:
(a) On the basis of the above information, calculate for component B:
(i) The minimum stock level
(ii) The reorder level
(iii) The EOQ
(iv) The maximum stock level
During the next four months, a customer requires,respectively, 600, 800, 1200, and 900 units of acommodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is,the customer’s requirements must be met on time).Production costs are $80, $100, $105, and $90 per unitduring these months. The storage cost from one month
to the next is $20 per unit (assessed on ending inven-tory). It is estimated that each unit on hand at the end
of month 4 can be sold for $60. Assume there is nobeginning inventory.a. Determine how to minimize the net cost incurred inmeeting the demands for the next four months.b. Use SolverTable to see what happens to the decisionvariables and the total cost when the initial inventoryvaries from 0 to 1000 in 100-unit increments. Howmuch lower would the total cost be if the companystarted with 100 units in inventory, rather than none?Would this same cost decrease occur for every100-unit increase in initial inventory?

- Refer to the information for Farnsworth Company (p. 139) for the first 10 months of data on receiving orders and receiving cost. Now suppose that Tracy has gathered 2 more months of data: Note: For the following requirements, round the intercept terms to the nearest dollar, round the variable rates to the nearest cent, and R2 to two decimal places. Required: 1. Run two regressions using a computer spreadsheet program such as Excel. First, use the method of least squares on the first 10 months of data. Then, use the method of least squares on all 12 months of data. Write down the results for the intercept, slope, and R2 for each regression. Compare the results. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Prepare a scattergraph using all 12 months of data. Do any points appear to be outliers? Suppose Tracy has learned that the factory suffered severe storm damage during Month 11 that required extensive repairs to the receiving areaincluding major repairs on a forklift. These expenses, included in Month 11 receiving costs, are not expected to recur. What step might Tracy, using her judgment, take to amend the results from the method of least squares? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Rerun the method of least squares, using all the data except for Month 11. (You should now have 11 months of data.) Prepare a cost formula for receiving based on these results, and calculate the predicted receiving cost for a month with 1,450 receiving orders. Discuss the results from this regression versus those from the regression for 12 months of data.arrow_forwardUsing the information in the previous exercises about Marleys Manufacturing, determine the operating income for department B, assuming department A sold department B 1,000 units during the month and department A reduces the selling price to the market price.arrow_forwardGolding Bank provided the following data about its resources and activities for its checking account process: Required: 1.
