Problem 8: ( 6 pts 2 + 2 + 2 ) It is week 1 and there are currently 20 computers in stock (i.e., 20 units as on hand inventory in week 1). The MPS says that we need 340 computers in week 5 and 0 computers for each of weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4. You do NOT need to show your work. There is NO partial credits for any mistake (i.e., each answer is either right or wrong).

A. If there are only scheduled receipts planned for week 3 and week 4 of 120 computers each; and this computer has a lead time of 1 week, when and how large of an order should be placed (i.e., planned order release) to meet the gross requirement of 340 computers in week 5? Assume that SS = 5, BI = 0, and Q = 15.

B. If there are only scheduled receipts planned for week 3 and week 4 of 120 computers each; and this computer has a lead time of 1 week, when and how large of an order should be placed (i.e., planned order release) to meet the gross requirement of 340 computers in week 5? Assume that SS = 0, BI = 0, and Q = LFL.

C. If there are only scheduled receipts planned for week 3 and week 4 of 120 computers each; and this computer has a lead time of two weeks, how large of an order should be placed on week 3 (i.e., planned order release) to meet the gross requirement of 340 computers in week 5? Assume that SS = 8, BI = 0, and Q = 50.
