The Olde Town Microbrewery makes Townside beer, which it bottles and sells in its adjoining restaurant and by the case. It costs $1700 to set up, brew, and bottle a batch of the beer. The annual cost to store the beer in inventory is $1.25 per bottle. The annual demand for the beer is 21,000 bottles and the brewery has the capacity to produce 30,000 bottles annually.
a) What is the optimal order quantity? Round to 2 decimal places.
b) What is the total annual inventory cost? Round to 2 decimal places.
c) What is the number of production runs per year? Round to 2 decimal places.
d) What is the maximum inventory level? Round to 2 decimal places.
e) If the microbrewery has only enough storage space to hold a maximum of 2500 bottles of beer in inventory, what will be the new total inventory costs? Round to 2 decimal places.

A local brewery sells their beer in 330 ml bottles. On average the beer is filled with 328.2 ml with a standard deviation of 0.7 ml. 1. Since it is possible to under-fill the bottle but impossible to fill the bottle with more than 330 ml, the distribution is: Normal Symmetrical Skewed Left Skewed Right 2. Use this information to answer the following questions, and round your answers to four decimal places. a. What is the z-score for a six-pack...
Beer bottles are filled so that they contain an average of 440 ml of beer in each bottle. Suppose that the amount of beer in a bottle is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 ml.

Suppose a brewery has a filling machine that fills 12-ounce bottles of beer. It is known that the amount of beer poured by this filling machine follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.08 ounce. Use this information to answer the questions that follow. Imagine that all possible samples of size 25 are taken from the population of this brewery's 12- ounce bottles of beer. Describe the sampling distribution of 2. i....
Gentle Ben's Bar and Restaurant uses 5,000 quart bottles of an imported wine each year. The effervescent wine costs $3 per bottle and is served only in whole bottles because it loses its bubbles quickly. Ben figures that it costs $10 each time an order is placed, and holding costs are 20 percent of the purchase price. It takes three weeks for an order to arrive. Weekly demand is 100 bottles (closed two weeks per year) with a standard deviation...

The weight of people in a small town in Missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 177 pounds and a standard deviation of 28 pounds. On a raft that takes people across the river, a sign states, “Maximum capacity 3,528 pounds or 18 persons.” What is the probability that a random sample of 18 persons will exceed the weight limit of 3,528 pounds? Use Table 1. (Round “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final answer...

A rum producer monitors the position of its label on the bottle by sampling four bottles from each batch. One quantity measured is the distance from the bottom of the bottle neck to the top of the label. The process mean should be μ = 1.8 inches. Past experience indicates that the distance varies with σ = 0.13 inch. (a) The mean distance x for each batch sample is plotted on an x control chart. Calculate the center line and...
