Answer to Problem 1P

Economic production of the lot is 625.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Demand rate per week = 625 units, Production Rate per week = 1,736 Units and Holding cost = 20% of Stock value

Economic Order Quantity is the ideal quantity of stock to order for a given product.

  EconomicOrderQuantity=2×Demand×OrderingCostCarryingCost

  Q=2DSH

The demand rate per week = 625 units

This means Demand rate per day=6257=89.28Units

Production Rate per week = 1,736 Units

  Production Rate perDay=1,7367=248Units

Holding cost = 20% of Stock value

  =0.20×$130=$26

The Economic Production of Lot size,

  ELS= 2DSH p pd = 2×625×52×$100 $26 248 24889.28=625Units

So, 625 units are required for the economic production lot size.
