a) if it costs 2$ per unit to store an item for one year and 40$ setup cost every time you produce a lot, and you use 1000 units per year, how many lots of what size should be manufactured each year? b) how would your answer change if the setup cost can be reduced to 10$?
The formula that I have deciphered from the book goes:
Ct= i (Q/2) + S (R/Q)
Q= back of units
S= setup cost dollars
CT= total annual cost of that inventory item
I am having trouble taking the information from the problem set and putting it into the formula and making sense of this. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
