The company's supplier, Rich Blue Chip Manufacturing, Inc., decides to offer price concessions in order to attract larger orders. The price structure is shown below. a) What is the optimal order quantity and the minimum annual cost for Bell Computers to order, purchase, and hold these integrated chips? The optimal order quantity after the change in pricing structure is units (enter your response as a whole number). The total annual cost for Bell computers to order, purchase, and hold the integrated chips is $ (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) Bell Computers wishes to use a 10% holding cost rather than the fixed $35 holding cost in part a. What is the optimal order quantity, and what is the optimal annual cost? The optimal order quantity after the change in the holding cost calculation is units (enter your response as a whole number). The total annual cost for Bell computers to order, purchase, and hold the integrated chips is $ (round your response to the nearest whole number). The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the EDD rule is days (round your response to two decimal places). The percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the EDD rule is % (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places). c) Using the SPT (shortest processing time) decision rule for sequencing the jobs, the order is (to resolve a tie, use the order in which the jobs were received): \begin{tabular}{cr} \hline Sequence & Job \\ \hline 1 & \\ 2 & \\ 3 & \\ 4 & \\ 5 & \\ \hline \end{tabular} The average tardiness (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the SPT rule is days (round your response to two decimal places).
