M. Cotteleer Electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. One of the components has an annual demand of 265 units, and this is constant throughout the year. Carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering cost is $19 per order.

a) To minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed?

b) How many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy?

c) What is the average inventory if costs are minimized?

d) Suppose that the ordering cost is not $19, and Cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. For this order policy (of Q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= 90 units

b. The number of orders would be equal to

= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity

= 265 ÷ 90 units

= 3 orders per year

c. The average inventory is

= Economic order quantity ÷ 2

= 90 units ÷ 2

= 45 units

d. Now in this we have to find out the ordering cost which is shown below by applying the economic order quantity formula

After squaring both the sides, the ordering cost is $36.85

answer with step-by-step explanation:

a. wx is perpendicular to xy - true:

(since x is adjacent to x and y and all angles are 90 degrees in a square, therefore wx is perpendicular to xy)

b. ∠w is congruent to ∠x - true:

(all angles in a square are equal to each other)

c. ∠w is supplementary to ∠x - true:

(∠w and ∠x both are right angles which add up to 180 degrees so they are supplementary angles)

d. wxyz is a rhombus - true:

(a rhombus has all sides equal in length and so has a square so it is a rhombus)

e. wxyz is a trapezoid - false:

(a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides while a square has two pairs of parallel sides)

f. wx is parallel to yz - true:

(wx and yz are parallel to each other)
