Question 3: 10 points All-Star bats sells aluminum bats to colleges. The monthly demand for bats is 1500 (throughout the year), and it costs $20 to produce a bat. The holding cost is about $1 per bat per year. It costs $250 to set up each production run. 1. How many bats should All Star produce in each production batch? 2. Assume the holding cost and price of a bat in the market are fixed. A foreman has proposed that the production cost of a bat can be reduced by 20 cents by making a process change. However, this will increase the setup cost to $1000. Should All-Star implement this change? Question 3: 10 points All-Star bats sells aluminum bats to colleges.
