Answer to Question 1

a. Q = 2SO
C =
210.(2000)
1 = 200
b.  orders = S/Q = 2000/200 = 10 orders per year
c. 1-week supply = 2000/50 = 40 lamps
order level = safety stock + 1 - week order lag
= 40 + 40
= 80 lamps is the order point

Answer to Question 2

a. Q = 2SO
C =
2(2000)8
.15 = 462 units
b. total cost: (Q/2)C + (S/Q)O
ordering once: (2000/

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
