6-30 After analyzing the costs of various options for obtaining brackets, Ross White (see Problems 6-27 through 6-29) recognizes that although he knows that the lead time is 2 days and the demand per day averages 10 units, the demand during the lead time often varies. Ross has kept very careful records and has determined that lead time demand is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.5 units.(a) What Z value would be appropriate for a 98% service level?(b) What safety stock should Ross maintain if he wants a 98% service level?(c) What is the adjusted ROP for the brackets?(d) What is the annual holding cost for the safety stock if the annual holding cost per unit is $1.50?I'm stuck on c and d nave to de ! II ine carryıng cost was 10% Of ine cost,pracket iI Ross wouia purcnase ine orackets in lotswhat would the optimal order quantity be?: 6-26 In Problem 6-20, you helped Lila Battle determine theoptimal order quantity for number 6 screws. She hadestimated that the ordering cost was $10 per order. Atthis time, though, she believes that this estimate wastoo low. Although she does not know the exact order-ing cost, she believes that it could be as high as $40 perorder. How would the optimal order quantity change ifthe ordering cost were $20, $30, and $40?: 6-27 Ross White's machine shop uses 2,500 brackets dur-ing the course of a year, and this usage is relativelyconstant throughout the year. These brackets are pur-chased from a supplier 100 miles away for $15 each,and the lead time is 2 days. The holding cost perbracket per year is $1.50 (or 10% of the unit cost),and the ordering cost per order is $18.75. There are250 working days per year.of 1,000. Lead times, however, would increase to 3days for this larger quantity.(a) What is the total annual inventory cost plus pur-chase cost if Ross buys the brackets in lots of1,000 at $14.50 each?(b) If Ross does buy in lots of 1,000 brackets, whatis the new ROP?(c) Given the options of purchasing the brackets at$15 each, producing them in-house at $14.80,and taking advantage of the discount, what isyour recommendation to Ross White?:6-30 After analyzing the costs of various options for ob-taining brackets, Ross White (see Problems 6-27through 6-29) recognizes that although he knowsthat the lead time is 2 days and the demand per dayaverages 10 units, the demand during the lead timeoften varies.

He has determinedthat setup cost would be $25 in machinist time andlost production time and that 50 brackets could beproduced in a day once the machine has been set up.Ross estimates that the cost (including labor timeand materials) of producing one bracket would be$14.80. The holding cost would be 10% of this cost.:6-31 Annual demand for the Dobbs model airplane kit is80,000 units. Albert Dobbs, president of Dobbs' Ter-rific Toys, controls one of the largest toy companiesin Nevada. He estimates that the ordering cost is $40per order. The carrying cost is $7 per unit per year. Itis 25 days from the time that Albert places an orderfor the model airplane kits until they are received athis warehouse. During this time, the daily demand isestimated to be 450 units.(a) What is the daily demand rate?(b) What is the optimal production quantity?(c) How long will it take to produce the optimalquantity? How much inventory is sold duringthis time?(a) Compute the EOQ, ROP, and optimal number oforders per year.(b) Albert now believes that the carrying cost maybe as high as $14 per unit per year. Furthermore,he estimates that the lead time may be 35 daysinstead of 25 days. Redo part (a), using these re-vised estimates.(d) If Ross uses the optimal production quantity,what would be the maximum inventory level?What would be the average inventory level?What is the annual holding cost?(e) How many production runs would there be eachyear? What would be the annual setup cost?(f) Given the optimal production run size, what isthe total annual inventory cost?(g) If the lead time is one-half day, what is the ROP?:6-32 Morgan Arthur has spent the past few weeks deter-mining inventory costs for Armstrong, a toy manu-facturer located near Cincinnati, Ohio. She knowsthat annual demand will be 30,000 units per year andthat the carrying cost will be $1.50 per unit per year.The ordering cost, on the other hand, can vary from$45 per order to $50 per order. During the past 450working days, Morgan has observed the followingfrequency distribution for the ordering cost::6-29 Upon hearing that Ross White (see Problems 6-27and 6-28) is considering producing the brackets in-house, the vendor has notified Ross that the purchase
