Answer:
Explanation:
Weekly demand and available weeks must be considered to determine the order size needed to meet the 360 degree requirement.
With options:
A. Week 3, as 40
B. Week 1, as 300
C. Week 5, as 40
D. Week 4, as 40
E. Week A, as 1000
You can calculate the required order size for each option by subtracting the cumulative requirement for the week from the total requirement of 360 pieces.
A. For the third week, the cumulative requirement is 40 As. The remaining requirement is 360 - 40 = 320 As.
B. Cumulative demand for week 1 is 300 As. The remaining requirement is 360 - 300 = 60 As.
C. At week 5, the cumulative requirement is 40 As. The remaining requirement is 360 - 40 = 320 As.
D. The cumulative requirement for week 4 is 40 As. The remaining requirement is 360 - 40 = 320 As.
E. In week A, the cumulative demand is 0 As. The remaining requirement is 360 - 0 = 360 As.
Of these options, Option B (1st week, 300 As) is the largest order size that meets the 360 As requirement.
