Evana Blanca owns a construction firm that builds beautiful concrete walls with reinforced steel. Her
holding costs are 25% per year.
(Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Evana is charged $400 per delivery of steel rebar. Each rebar costs $200.
a. She needs 150 rebars per week. How many rebars should she purchase
from the supplier with each order?
(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Evana receives deliveries of 6,000 cinder blocks at a time. There is a fixed
cost of $300 per cinder block delivery. She needs 500 cinder blocks per
b. day. Each cinder block costs $2, so she incurs holding cost of $0.5 to hold a
cinder block in inventory for one year (i.e.,25% of $2). What is Evana's total
per block
total ordering and holding costs ($) per cinder block?
(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Evana is offered a great deal on cinder blocks. If she were to order 36,000
blocks at a time, she would receive a 15 percent discount. Say she decides
c. to switch to purchasing 36,000 cinder blocks with each order so that she
per day
can take advantage of the deal. What would be her average inventory
holding cost ($) per day? Note: Do not include ordering or purchasing costs.
