Drugs Online (DO) is an online retailer of prescription drugs and health supplements. Vitamins represent a significant percentag

e of its sales. Demand for vitamins is 9,000 bottles per month. DO incurs a fixed order placement and receiving cost of $100 each time an order for vitamins is placed with the manufacturer. The purchase price is $3.00 per bottle. DO incurs a holding cost of 20 percent per year. (Assume 30 days a month.) a and b: Retailer Part a) Assume that DO places an order for 4,500 bottles every 15 days. Compute the annual ordering and holding cost for the current ordering policy. Part b) What is the optimal order quantity to minimize the annual ordering and holding cost? Part (c) The manufacturer: Now consider the manufacturer of vitamins who supplies DO. The manufacturer has a production line dedicated for producing vitamins supplied to DO. This line produces 9,000 bottles per month at a daily constant rate of 300 per day. The variable manufacturing cost is $2 per bottle. Manufacturer incurs a fixed cost of $250 to process, pack, and ship an order to DO. The holding cost is 20% year. Compute the following if DO’s order size is 4,500 bottles. Assume that the manufacturer’s inventory falls to zero when a batch of 4,500 bottles is shipped to DO. (i) Manufacturer’s average inventory: (ii) Number of orders manufacturer fills per year (iii) Manufacturer’s annual cost of holding inventory and filling orders: Part (d) for the supply chain: Now consider the supply chain that consists of both the manufacturer and DO. (i) For order sizes of 4,500 by the DO to the manufacturer, write the annual inventory holding and order cost for the supply chain. [Hint: It is sum of cost in part a and c(iii).] (ii) Find the optimal order size by DO to the manufacturer in order to minimize the annual inventory holding and order cost for the supply chain

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

a) Number of orders per year, N = 30 / 15 * 12=24

Annual Ordering cost = 24*100 = $ 2400

Annual Holding cost = 4500 / 2 * 3 * 20 \%=\$ 1350

Total cost = $ 3750

b)  Annual Demand, D = 9000*12 = 108000

Holding cost, H = 3 * 20 \%=0.6

Ordering Cost, S = 100

Optimal order quantity = \mathrm{EOQ}=\sqrt{(} 2 \mathrm{SD} / \mathrm{H})=\underbrace{\sqrt{(} 2 * 100 * 108000 / 0.6)}=6000

Annual Ordering cost = 108000 / 6000 * 100=\$ 1800

Annual Holding cost = 6000 / 2 * 0.6=\$ 1800

Total cost = $ 3600  

c)  (i) Manufacturer's Average Inventory = Average of minimum and maximum inventory = (0+4500) / 2=2250

(ii) Number of orders manufacturer fills per year = 24

(iii) Cost of holding inventory = 2250 * 2 * 20 \%=\$ 900

Cost of filling orders = 24*250 = $ 6000

Total cost = $ 6900

d)  (i) Total holding and ordering cost of supply chain = 3750 + 6900 = $ 10650

(ii) To find the optimal order size to minimize the total supply chain cost, we need to calculate the ordering cost and holding cost of supply chain.

Ordering cost of supply chain, S = 100 + 250 = 350,

Holding cost of supply chain = 3^{*} \cdot 2+2^{*} \cdot 2=1

Optimal order qty = \mathrm{EOQ}=\sqrt{(} 2 \mathrm{SD} / \mathrm{H})=\underline{\sqrt{(} 2 * 350 * 108000 / 1)}=8695

Annual Ordering cost of Supply chain = 108000 / 8695 * 350=4347.4

Annual Holding cost of Supply chain =8695 / 2^{*} 1=4347.4

Total cost of supply chain = 8695

When the price of a good or service is _________enough, it will encourage consumers to buy. However, the price also has to be __
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct words for the blank spaces are (<em>in that order</em>): low; high; opportunity; reservation.

Explanation:

For buyers and sellers to benefit from a transaction, the price of the goods or services offered must be at equilibrium. It implies the price is low enough for consumers to consider purchasing the product and high enough for producers to offer it earning a profit.

Besides, producers should consider their opportunity costs which are the costs of adding one more unit for production. On the other side of the road, consumers consumer their reservation price which is the maximum amount of money they could pay for a good or service based on the value they give to the product.

A the production possibilities frontier (PPF) is bowed outward as a result of:_________
vodomira [7]

Answer: 2) increasing opportunity costs.

Explanation:

The Production Possibilities frontier is bowed out as it shows that for one more unit of a good to be produced, an additional unit of the other good must be given up.

This represents increasing opportunity costs because opportunity cost is the cost we incur for choosing one alternative over another. By producing more and more of one good, we give up more and more of the other good which means that our opportunity cost rises.

Assume that a firm spends $500 on two inputs, labor and capital. If the wage rate is $20 per hour and the cost of capital is $25
Zolol [24]

Answer:

D. -4/5

Explanation:

Given that

Wage rate = $20 per hour

Cost of capital = $25 per hour

Recall that,

Slope of isocost = -(w/r)

Where,

W = wage rate

r = rental cost of capital.

Thus,

Slope of isocost curve

= -(20/25)

= -0.8 or -4/5

Note that, the negative of the ratio is the price of the two inputs. Also isocost is a line showing the various combinations of inputs which cost the same amount.
