Problem 1: Economic Order Quantity (8 points) A hospital buys blood from the local blood bank and because this is a critical item the inventory supply of blood at the hospital is constantly monitored. An EOQ inventory model is used to determine when to order and how much blood to order (blood is measured in units and one unit of blood is about 525 mL). Since the shelf life of a unit of blood is short (42 days or less) the hospital has a high holding cost of $90 per year per unit of blood. It costs the hospital $50 to place an order and the hospital uses 4,410 units of blood annually. The average lead time to deliver blood to the hospital is 2 days and since the demand for blood and lead time are both variable, the hospital keeps a safety stock of 80 units of blood on hand. The next order should be placed when blood inventory drops to how many units of blood? (assume 365 days in one year for converting annual demand to daily demand. You may leave your final answer as a decimal) (2 points) How many units of blood should the hospital order each time? (Hint: use the EOQ) (2 points) How many orders will be placed each year? (2 points) What is the total holding cost for the year? (2 points)

a. Annual demand for number 2 pencils at the campus store is normally distributed with mean 1,000 and standard deviation 250. The store purchases the pencils for 6 cents each and sells them for 20 cents each. There is a two-month lead time from the initiation to the receipt of an order. The store accountant estimates that the cost in employee time for performing the necessary paperwork to initiate and receive an order is $20, and recommends a 22% annual interest rate for determining holding cost. The cost of a stockout is the cost of lost profit plus an additional 20 cents per pencil, which represents the cost of loss of goodwill.

b. Find the simultaneous optimal values of Q and R.

A manufacturer of laptop computers operates a plant with an annual capacity of 6,630,000 laptop units. One of his models is expected to sell 390,000 units in the coming year. How large should each product lot be if it costs $575 to change production from one model to another. Assume that the manufacturer values each laptop at $280 dollars and it has a holding interest rate of 2%. You should round your answer up to the nearest laptop unit. Please show work using the economic order quality formula.
