Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that :

Production rate (p) = 200 units / day

daily usage (d) = 80 units / day

Assembly, a = 5 days a week ; 50 weeks a year

Setup cost (S) = $250

Holding cost (H )= $10

A) Run quantity to minimize total annual cost:

√(2DS/H) * √p / (p - d)

D = annual demand = (80 * 5 * 50) = 20,000

√(2(20000)(250)/10) * √200 / (200 - 80)

1000 * 1.2909944

= 1290.99

= 1291 units

B) Run length :

1291 / 200 = 6.455 days

C) Inventory build up:

Daily production - daily usage:

(200 - 80) = 120 units / day

amid [387]

Answer: $80
