Michael’s Lobster Food Truck has been operating for three years, but he’s yet to make a profit in the competitive food truck industry. Last year, he sold 2,500 items at an average price of $12. It costs him $9 to cover his ingredients for each item, and he also has fixed costs of $8,000 per year to cover for his truck, marketing, insurance, etc. What percentage increase in the number of units sold is required for Michael to break even?
The cost of a high-quality 250-horsepower compressor was $14,000 when recently purchased. What would a 600-horsepower compressor be expected to cost?
1. A service station uses 2500 oil filters during the course of a year, and this usage is constant throughout the year. These oil filters are purchased from a supplier 100 miles away for $15 each, and the lead time is 2 days. The holding cost per oil filter per year is $1.50 (or 10% of the unit cost) and the ordering cost is $18.75. There are 250 working days per year.
a) What is the service station's optimal order quantity and total annual cost of inventory?
