M7_IND4. Andre Greipel is the owner of a small company that produces heart rate monitors. The annual demand is for 2,250 heart r

Stolb23 [73]

Answer :

a) Economic Production Quantity = 1,612 monitors

b) Number of setups = 1.4

c) Total cost = $972.12 per year

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

a) Economic Production Quantity = sqrt((2 × annual demand × set up cost) ÷ carrying cost × (1 - daily demand ÷ daily production))

=sqrt((2 × 2,250 × $350) ÷ $0.80 × (1 - 35 ÷ 140))

= 1,620.19

= 1,621 monitors

b) Number of setups = Annual demand ÷ Economic production quantity

= 2,250 ÷ 1,621

= 1.3880

= 1.4

c) Formula of Total cost = Carrying cost + Annual setup cost

Carrying cost=(Economic production quantity ÷ 2) × Carrying cost × (1 - daily demand ÷ daily production)

= (1,612 ÷ 2)× $0.80 × (1 -35 ÷ 140)

= $486.30

Annual setup cost = (Annual demand ÷ Economic production quantity) × setup cost

= (2,250 ÷ 1,621) × $350

= $485.812

So, Total cost = $486.30 + $485.812

= $972.12 each year

We simply applied the above formulas
