An oil refinery buys crude oil on a long-term supply contract for $22.50 per barrel. When shipments of crude oil are made to the refinery, they arrive at the rate of 10,000 barrels per day. The refinery uses the oil at a rate of 5,000 barrels per day and plans to purchase 500,000 barrels of crude oil next year. If the carrying cost is 25percent of acquisition cost per unit per year and the ordering cost is $7,500 per order: a. What is the EOQ for the crude oil? b. What is the TSC at EOQ? c. How many days of production are supported by each order of crude oil?

The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $11.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $25.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $3.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 265 boxes with a standard deviation of 42 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the Z-score. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of boxes ( ? )

Suppose the Motorboat dealership in part (a) above dealing in costly motorboats follows the policy of carrying a few units in stock and ordering for replenishment as soon as a motorboat is sold from the stock. The unit cost of the motorboat is $60,000 and the holding or carrying cost is $5,000 per unit per year. The management of Motorboat dealership believe that the shortage cost due to waiting for the motorboat is $2,000 per unit short per month. The demand is seen to be Poisson distributed with an average rate of 2 units per month and the replenishment lead time can be considered to be exponential with a mean of one month. Considering the system as an M/M/s queuing system, find the optimal stock to be carried which can minimize the sum total of carrying and shortage costs.

K Ruby-Star Incorporated is considering two different vendors for one of its top-selling products which has an average weekly demand of 30 units and is valued at $100 per unit. Inbound shipments from vendor 1 will average 300 units with an average lead time (including ordering delays and transit time) of 4 weeks. Inbound shipments from vendor 2 will average 490 units with an average lead time of 1 week. Ruby-Star operates 52 weeks per year; it carries a 4-week supply of inventory as safety stock and no anticipation inventory. a. The average aggregate inventory value of the product if Ruby-Star used vendor 1 exclusively is $39,000. (Enter your response as a whole number.) b. The average aggregate inventory value of the product if Ruby-Star used vendor 2 exclusively is $ 39,500. (Enter your response as a whole number.) c.

Next week, Super Discount Airlines has a flight from New York to Los Angeles that will be booked to capacity. The airline knows from past history that an average of 35 customers (with a standard deviation of 24) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. Revenue from a ticket on the flight is $134. If the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. The cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $263. Super Discount considers the cost of flying the plane from New York to Los Angeles a sunk cost. By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given a-level. Do not round intermediate calculations.
