Summary Introduction
To identify: If the optimal order quantity is changing.
Simulation modeling is a computerized model that depicts a real-life situation. It is similar to other mathematical models except that it incorporates the concept of uncertainty in one or more number of the input variables.

In the calculation of an optimal policy for an all-units discount schedule, you firstcompute the EOQ values for each of the three order costs, and you obtain: Q(0) =800, Q(1) =875, and Q(2) =925. The all-units discount schedule has breakpointsat 750 and 900. Based on this information only, can you determine what the optimal order quantity is? Explain your answer.
Consider two products A and B that have identical cost, retail price and demand parameters and the same short selling season. The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product A is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year, and the leftovers will be salvaged at 65% of the cost. Product B will be re-offered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each leftover unit equal to 20% of the product's cost. How do the stocking quantities for these products compare?
Multiple Choice
Stocking quantity of product A is higher.
Stocking quantity of product B is higher.
The answer cannot be determined from the data provided.
Stocking quantities are equal.
Rocky Mountain Tire Center sells 20,000 go-cart tires per year. The ordering cost for each order is $40, and the holding cost is 20% of the purchase price of the tires per year.The purchase price is $20 per tire if fewer than 500 tires are ordered, $18 per tire if 500 or more-but fewer than 1,000- tires a re ordered, and $17 per tire if I ,000 or more tires areordered.a) How many tires should Rocky Mountain order each time it places an order?b) What is the total cost of this policy?

Prior to the winter season, The UnLimited offers Fashionables the choice of five different colors of a particular sweater design. The sweaters are knit overseas by hand, and because of the lead times involved, Fashionables will need to order its assortment in advance of the selling season. As per the contracting terms offered by The UnLimited, Fashionables will also not be able to cancel, modify or reorder sweaters during the selling season. Demand for each color during the season is normally distributed with a mean of 600 and a standard deviation of 175. Further, you may assume that the demand for each sweater is independent of the demand for any other color. The UnLimited offers the sweaters to Fashionables at the wholesale price of $44 per sweater, and Fashionables plans to sell each sweater at the retail price of $74 per unit.

- A Mercedes dealer pays $40,000 for each car purchased (wholesale price). The annual holding cost is estimated to be 30% of the dollar value of inventory.
