A restaurant supply store is trying to determine how many boxes of a certain commonly used item to order. They estimate that tha

t the demand for the item averages 30 boxes per week. The ordering cost is $10 per order and it costs $20 to hold one box in inventory for one year. The lead time for orders is always 1.5 weeks and inventory is managed with a continuous review policy. Show all your work for all parts.
(8 pts.) a) Determine the economic order quantity (that is, how many boxes they should order to minimize their cost) and the corresponding total annual cost.

(4 pts.) b) Calculate the reorder point and state when they should place an order.


(6 pts.) c) Suppose the store orders every two weeks (rather than your answer to part a). How large is an order on average and what is the total annual cost? How much more does this cost than using the best order size?

Answer:

<u>Part a: </u>

EOQ = 40 units

<u>Part b:</u>

Re-order point = 45

Place an order when inventory falls to 45 units.

<u>Part c:</u>

Annual cost= Q*H/2+ D*S/Q = $861

The difference in cost= 861- 791 = $70 more than best order size.

Calculate the reorder point and state when they should place an order.

Explanation:

Demand per week = 30 boxes

Weeks per year = 52

Annual demand = Demand per week × Weeks per year

Annual demand = 30 boxes × 52 weeks

Annual demand = 1,560 boxes per year

<u>Task a: </u>

<u>Determine the economic order quantity (that is, how many boxes they should order to minimize their cost) and the corresponding total annual cost. </u>

<u>Part 1: Economic Order quantity</u>

EOQ = \sqrt \frac{2CoD}{Ch}

Where Co = Ordering cost = $10

D = Annual demand = 1,560

Ch = Holding cost = $20

EOQ = \sqrt \frac{2(10)(1,560)}{20}

EOQ = 39.49 units = 40 units

<u>Part 2: Total annual cost at EOQ level:</u>

At Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), the total annual ordering cost and holding cost are all equal:

<u>Annual ordering cost = (Annual demand × Ordering cost per order ) ÷ EOQ</u>

Annual ordering cost = (1,560 × $10) ÷ 40

Annual ordering cost = $390

Annual holding cost = ((1,560 × 20)/40) ÷ 2

Annual holding cost = $390

Part b:

Calculate the reorder point and state when they should place an order.

Part 1: Re-order point

Re-order point = (Annual demand÷week)×lead time

Re-order point = (1,560 ÷ 52) × 1.5

Re-order point = 45

Part 2: When they should place an order.

Place an order when inventory falls to 45 units.

<u>Part c </u>

<u>Suppose the store orders every two weeks (rather than your answer to part a). How large is an order on average and what is the total annual cost? How much more does this cost than using the best order size?</u>

<u></u>

Order size= 30 per week* 2weeks= 60 units

Annual cost= Q*H/2+ D*S/Q = $861

The difference in cost= 861- 791 = $70 more than best order size.

The following methods can be used to successfully win back customers after they have discontinued service.

<h3>Successfully Re-engage Customers:</h3>
  • Consider the primary cause of the customer's initial reluctance. Take some time to consider what drove your brand to this point before developing unique methods for your re-engagement plan.
  • Surveying your consumers is one of the finest ways to find the answers to your inquiries. Based on how long a consumer has been away from your store, create a survey and email it to them.
  • Targeted email campaigns are a wonderful strategy to re-engage clients in addition to providing a generic email newsletter based on their prior actions and behaviours.
  • Digital re-targeting is the practice of setting cookies on visitors to your website or social media profiles, or tagging them, and classifying them into groups depending on the pages they visit and how they interact with your website.

Existing clients that have already chosen to use your brand for commercial purposes are quite valuable. Don't let them disappear into oblivion.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Whispering Winds Corp.

Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is:

=  $2,585

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date      Description              Units     Unit Cost    Total Cost

July 1     Beginning Inventory  37             $18             $666

July 7    Purchases                 129            $19             2,451

July 22 Purchases                   18           $20                360

July 30 Total available           184                            $3,477

July 30  Ending inventory       46

July 30  Units sold                 138

Cost of goods sold, using FIFO inventory method:

Date      Description              Units     Unit Cost    Total Cost

July 1     Beginning Inventory  37             $18             $666

July 7    Purchases                 101              $19             1,919

Total cost of goods sold =                                       $2,585

Ending inventory = $892 (18 * $20 +  28 * $19)
