Question: 2 . A pick - n - place machine for automated assembly of printed circuit boards makes a wide range of products, including Item 2

2. A pick-n-place machine for automated assembly of printed circuit boards makes a wide range of products, including Item 24-101. The machine is set up to produce Item 24-101 once every 2 weeks, and the production rate is 4 times the demand rate for these parts. The demand for Item 24-101 is 4,550 pieces per month with very little uncertainty. The fixed cost is $15,900 per setup. The unit cost of a part is $58.44, and holding costs are assessed at 18% per year. Assume the production schedule is 5 days per week and 250 working days per year. Compute the annual costs of ordering and holding inventory for Item 24-101.
Hint: This is an EPL problem; use the 2 weeks interval and the total customer demand to find Q, no need to find the optimal order quantity (Q*).
