Answer:

The number of items in each production run so that the total costs of production and storage are minimized is 8165 items/run

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the following variables:

Q = Quantity being ordered

Q* = the optimal order Quantity: the result being sought

D = annual Demand for the item, over the year

P = unit Production cost

S = cost of setting up a production run, regardless of the number of units in the production run (fixed cost per production run)

H = annual cost to Hold one unit

It is important to note which variables are annualized, which are per-order and which are per-unit.

Using the variables, here are the components of the first equation

Total Cost, TC = PC + SC + HC

PC = P x D :  Production Cost = unit Production cost times the annual Demand

SC = (D x S)/Q : Setting up Cost = annual Demand times cost per production setup, divided by the order Quantity (number of units)

HC = (H x Q)/2: Holding Cost = annual unit Holding cost times order Quantity (number of units), divided by 2 (because throughout the year, on average the warehouse is half full).

So TC = PC + SC + HC =  (P x D) + ((D x S)/Q) + ((H x Q)/2) = PD + (DS/Q) + HQ/2

To obtain the optimal order quantity, Q* that minimizes TC, at the minimum TC, dTC/dQ = 0

dTC/dQ = (H/2) – (D x S)/(Q²) = 0

(H/2) – (D x S)/(Q²) = 0

Solving for Q, which is Q* at this point.

(Q*)² = 2DS/H

Q* = √(2DS/H)

D = annual demand for the item = 200000

S = cost of setting up a production run, regardless of the number of units in the production run (fixed cost per production run) = $500

H = annual cost to Hold one unit = $3

Q* = √(2×200000×500/3) = 8164.97 = 8165 items.

Sam makes some bread rolls. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor and 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin. He has 15 tools le
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =

2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.

The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5

He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45

=4x/15

He has 15 bread rolls left

Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor

x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5

Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying

15x= 225+4x + 6x

15x = 225 +10x

15x-10x = 225

5x = 225

x = 225/5 =45

- Write a recursive formula to represent the sequence below.<br> (3,7, 11, 15, 19,23,27,31,35, ...)
NemiM [27]

<em><u>The recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n  = 1, 2, 3, ....

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given a sequence is:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

<em><u>Let us find the difference between terms</u></em>

7 - 3 = 4

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

23 - 19 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

31 - 27 = 4

35 - 31 = 4

Thus the difference between terms is constant

Thus the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

<em><u>The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by:</u></em>

a_n =a_1+(n-1)d

a_n = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

a_1 = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here in the given sequence

d = 4

a_1=3

Substitute in above formula,

a_n = 3 + (n-1)(4)\\\\a_n = 3 + 4n - 4\\\\a_n = 4n - 1

<em><u>Thus the recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n = 1, 2, 3, ......
