Lindsay Electronics, a small manufacturer of electronic research equipment, has approximately 6,600 items in its inventory and has hired Joan Blasco-Paul to manage its inventory. Joan has determined that 8% of the items in inventory are A items, 36% are B items, and 56% are C items. She would like to set up a system in which all A items are counted monthly (every 19 working days), all B items are counted quarterly (every 61 working days), and all C items are counted semiannually (every 121 working days). How many items need to be counted each day? The total number of items that need to be counted each day is items (round your response to the nearest whole number).

The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?

I NEED IT TODAY, 1. B&H needs to decide how to manage its inventory of cameras. The demand for cameras at B&H is 200 cameras per week. Each time that B&H places an order for a new shipment of cameras, it must pay $80 in fixed processing fees. A camera costs B&H $60 to purchase. The cost for B&H to hold a camera in its store for one week is $4. Assume that the lead time for the delivery of a camera is 0 weeks.a. Suppose that B&H places orders for cameras in quantities of 50 cameras at a time and places a new order for cameras each time that it runs out. Draw a graph showing the number of cameras that B&H has on-hand in inventory at each point in time up until the time when it places its fourth order. Label the points in time at which B&H places a new order. Assume that B&H places its first order for 50 cameras on day 0.b. Suppose again that B&H places orders for 50 cameras at a time. What will be B&H’s average holding costs per week? What will…
