Question 1

Central University uses $123,000 of a particular toner cartridge for laser printers in the student computer labs each year. The purchasing director of the university estimates the ordering cost at $45 and thinks that the university can hold this type of inventory at an annual storage cost of 22% of the purchase price of $1 each. How many months' supply should the purchasing director order at one time to minimize the total annual cost of purchasing and carrying?

Question 2

The soft goods department of a large department store sells 175 units per month of a certain large bath towel. The unit cost of a towel to the store is $2.50 and the cost of placing an order has been estimated to be $12.00. The store uses an inventory carrying charge of 27% per year. Determine the optimal order quantity, order frequency, and the annual cost of inventory management. If, through automation of the purchasing process, the ordering cost can be cut to $4.00, what will be the new economic order quantity, order frequency, and annual inventory management cost? Explain these results.
