Problem 14-9 (Algorithmic)

Cress Electronic Products manufactures components used in the automotive industry. Cress purchases parts for use in its manufacturing operation from a variety of different suppliers. One particular supplier provides a part where the assumptions of the EOQ model are realistic. The annual demand is 4500 units, the ordering cost is $65 per order, and the annual holding cost rate is 26%.

1. If the cost of the part is $16 per unit, what is the economic order quantity? When required, round your answer to the nearest whole number. Q^* = fill in the blank 1
2. Assume 250 days of operation per year. If the lead time for an order is 13 days, what is the reorder point? When required, round your answer to the nearest whole number. r = fill in the blank 2
3. If the lead time for the part is six weeks (30 days), what is the reorder point? When required, round your answer to the nearest whole number. r = fill in the blank 3
4. What is the reorder point for part (c) if the reorder point is expressed in terms of the inventory on hand rather than the inventory position? When required, round your answer to the nearest whole number. On hand reorder point will be fill in the blank 4.
