Inventory Management and Control: Assignment 2 (BASEBALL CARD EMPORIUM) Tutorial DATA A = Annual demand: 6,000 cases of cards C = Case value (price): $96 each I = Inventory carrying cost (annual): 30% S=Cost per order to replenish inventory: $75 In-transit inventory carrying cost: 18% Transit =me using motor carrier: 4 days Transit =me using air carrier: 1 days Motor carrier rate: $1.20 per cwt. (100 lbs.) Air carrier rate: $2.50 per cwt. Unit weight: 50 lbs. per case 1) EOQ Formula Direct Application Q=V2AS /ic A=6000, S= $75, C=$96, I= 0.30 EOQ= 177 EOQ in Pounds= EOQ x weight of each case 2) TOTAL COST OF EOQ Total Cost = Annual Carrying Cost + Ordering Cost Annual Carrying Cost = 0/2 *C *i Ordering Cost = A/Q * S, here s=$75 3)In transit Inventory Carrying Cost Motor Carrier Transit Time = 4 Days Order Cycle = 6000 cases / 177 cases = 34 orders per year = 365/34 = 11 days per order Fright Rate = $1.2 per 100 lbs In Transit Inv Cost = (Price per case)x(carrying cost)x(number of cases) x(motor carrier transit time)/(number of days/order) (4/11) 4) Motor Carrier Cost Total Cost = In transit Inv Carrying Cost + Total Cost of EOQ (Annual Carrying Cost + Ordering Cost) 5) Air Freight Cost Air Transit Time = 1 Day Freight Rate = $2.50 per cwt (100lbs) i) Air Freight Cost = Freight Rate x CWTx (number of orders per year) = 2.5 * 88.5 * 34 ii) Transit Inv Cost by airline = transit time(1/11)x(number of cases) x price per case x In transit inventory carrying cost Total Cost = i + ii + Total Cost of EOQ (Annual Carrying Cost + Ordering Cost)
