Question

Which of these statements about the production order quantity model is FALSE? The production order quantity model is appropriate when the assumptions of the basic EOQ model are met, except that receipt is noninstantaneous. Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity. Because receipt is noninstantaneous, some units are used immediately and not stored in inventory. All else equal, the smaller the ratio of demand rate to production rate, the smaller is the production order quantity. None of these is false.

Answer 1

Question is written again to add options:

A. The production order quantity model is appropriate when the assumptions of the basic EOQ model are met, except that receipt is noninstantaneous.

B. Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity.

C. Because receipt is noninstantaneous, some units are used immediately and not stored in inventory.

D. All else equal, the smaller the ratio of demand rate to production rate, the smaller is the production order quantity.

E. None of these is false.

The correct answer is option B "Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity."

Step-by-step explanation:

With an inventory, it is possible to separate parts of the production process , to separate assets from goods are yet to be produced or are already produced that could serve as a source of income for a company.

An average inventory is less than one-half of the production order quantity.

The production order quantity model doesn't make it possible for the ordered quantity to be received at one time.

The production order quantity model helps a company on how to manage inventory holding costs and the average fixed ordering cost, thereby making it possible for a company to check and minimize its inventory cost and to have a guide on what quantity to produce at every point in time.
