NUTRITIOUS AND DELICIOUS CO. Nutritious & Delicious Co. (N&D) is the distributor of a very popular blend of cat food that sells for $4.00 per can. N&D experiences demand of 60 cans per week. They order the cans of cat food from the CatFood Company. CatFood sells cans to N&D at $1.50 per can and charges a flat fee of $50 per order for shipping and handling. N&D uses the EOQ (economic order quantity) as their fixed order size in each replenishment. Assume that the opportunity cost of capital and all other inventory cost is 30 percent annually and that there are 50 weeks in a year. a. How many cans of cat food should N&D order at a time? b. What is N&D's total fixed order cost (i.e. set-up order cost) for one year? c. What is N&D's total inventory holding cost for one year? d. What is N&D's weekly inventory turns? e. What is N&D's weekly flow-time? f. Compute Annual Profit: Show the Annual Product Cost as well as the Annual Revenue in a year. Since N&D has to meet the Annual Demand without having customers wait or having any shortages, Annual Revenue is fixed and does not depend on Q. Therefore, Annual Revenue for N&D is r*D which is, ($4/can)*(3000 cans/year) assuming 50 weeks in a year.
