A manufacturer is contemplating a switch from buying to producing a certain item. Setup cost would be the same as ordering cost.

Flauer [41]

Answer

D) compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be approx 30% lower.

Explanation

EOQ = √(2*Co*D/Cc)

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/(Cc*(1-x)))

x=D/P

D = demand rate

P =production rate

Co=ordering cost

Cc=holding cost

1) The production rate would be about double the usage rate.

hence, P = 2D

x=D/2D=0.5

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/((1-0.5)*Cc))

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/0.5Cc)

EPQ=√ (1/0.5)*EOQ

EPQ=√ (2)*EOQ

EPQ=1.41*EOQ

Hence, EPQ is around 40% larger than EOQ.

Ans.: c) EPQ will be approximately 40% larger than the EOQ.

2) Compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be

maximum inventory = Q

EPQ = 1.41 EOQ

EPQ = 1.41*Q

Q=EPQ/1.41

Q=0.71 EPQ

Hence, compared to EOQ, maximum inventory in EPQ is only 70% of that in EOQ model.

Explanation:

The NPV,payback period,Internal rate of return and modified internal rate of return were computed in the attached spreadsheet.

Payback period=the year of the first positive cumulative cash flow+the year cumulative cash flow/the next year cash flow

the year of first positive cumulative flow is year 4

the cumulative cash flow for year 4 is $66 m

A company is considering two designs for a machine in its manufacturing line. The first, called machine A, will cost $160000 in

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The indifference point is 1,410 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine A:

Fixed costs= $160,000

Unitary variable cost= $80

Machine B:

Fixed costs= $270,000

Unitary variable cost= $2

<u>First, we need to structure the total cost formula for each machine:</u>

Machine A= 160,000 + 80x

Machine B= 270,000 + 2x

x= number of units

<u>Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:</u>

160,000 + 80x = 270,000 + 2x

78x = 110,000

x= 110,000/78

x= 1,410 units

The indifference point is 1,410 units
