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/
