Question

GROCERY STORE PROBLEM: A local grocery store faces demand for one of its items at a constant rate of 20,000 boxes per year. It costs them $5 to process an order and $0.50 per box per year to carry the item in stock. The stock is received three working days after an order is placed. Assume 250 working days in a year and no backordering. What is the demand during lead time assuming that there is no variability

Answer 1

Answer: 240

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Annual demand (D)= 20000

Daily demand (d) = 20000 / 250 = 80

Ordering cost (S) = 5

Holding cost (H) = 0.5

Lead time (L)= 3 days

The demand during lead time would be gotten by multiplying the daily demand by the lead time. This would be:

= 3 × 80

= 240
