Ordering and Carrying Costs
Ottis, Inc., uses 683,400 plastic housing units each year in its production of paper shredders. The cost of placing an order is $33. The cost of holding one unit of inventory for one year is $12. Currently, Ottis places 170 orders of 4,020 plastic housing units per year.
Required:
1. Compute the annual ordering cost.
$
2. Compute the annual carrying cost.
$
3. Compute the cost of Ottis’s current inventory policy.
$
Is this the minimum cost?
- Select your answer -YesNo
| Annual ordering cost = (683400/4020)*33 |
| Annual ordering cost = 170*33 |
| Annual ordering cost = $ 5,610/. |
| Annual carrying cost = (4020/2)*12 |
| Annual carrying cost = $ 24,120/. |
| Total cost of Ottis’s current inventory policy = (5610+24120) |
| Total cost of Ottis’s current inventory policy = $ 29,730/. |
| This is the minimum cost, Yes |

A firm has been ordering a certain item 600 units at a time. The firm estimates that ordering cost is $200/order, and that annual demand is 1800 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of holding cost (H: avg $cost of holding one piece for 1 year) would their ordering policy (600 units per order) be economically optimal (be the EOQ)? EOQ = Sq Root[(2D*S)/H] Where: D...

Weekly demand for DVDs at a retailer is normally distributed with a mean of 1092 boxes and a standard deviation of 314. Assume the following data: There are 51 working weeks in a year. Lead time for delivery of an order is 4 weeks. The retailer takes ownership of the product only when the product reaches the store (i.e., the retailer is not responsible for pipeline inventory). Fixed cost (ordering and transportation) per order is $111. Each box of DVDs...
