Most efficient production rate = 2,000 + X units per period
Production change costs = $20 per unit of change (from 2,000 + X units/period)
Inventory costs = $5 per unit per period (on closing inventory balance)
Backorder costs = $10 per unit to carry demand into next period
Beginning inventory = 400 units
x=400
Period | Demand (units) |
1 | 3,000 + X |
2 | 2300 |
3 | 1,800 + X |
4 | 2800 |
5 | 2,000 + X |
6 | 2,300 |
