Joe's Bar (not its real name) uses 800 kegs of adult beverages per year on a continuous basis (assume 365 days of operations per year).The order cost is $50.00 per order and the carrying cost is $2.00 per unit.It takes 5 days to receive a shipment after an order has been placed (old Joe took this TQM course so he now believes in JIT inventory methods - in other words- assume no safety stock).

I need you to calculate four things (and again I need to see your work including a formula if needed)

a.Calculate the EOQ(10 points & formula please!)

b.Determine the average level of inventory

c.Determine the reorder point

d.Compute the Total Cost of Inventory

SEE ANSEWERS TO ABOVE

A) EOQ = 200 UNITS

EOQ = 2*ANNUAL DEMAND* COST PER ORDER/CARRYING COST PER ORDER) ^(1/2)

=(2*800*50/2)^(1/2)

=40,000 ^(1/2)

=200 UNITS

B) AVERAGE LEVEL OF INVENTORY = 100 UNITS

AVG INVENTORY = EOQ/2

=200/2

=100 UNITS

C) REORDER POINT = 10.96 UNITS

REORDER POINT = (DAILY DEMAND * LEAD TIME) + SAFETY STOCK

=((800/365_*5)+0

=10.96 UNITS

D) TOTAL COST OF INVENTORY = 400

TOTAL COST OF INVENTORY = (AVG INVENTORY*CARRYING COST PER ORDER) +(ANNUAL DEMAND/EOQ*COST PER ORDER)

=(100*2)+(800/200*50)

=200+200

=400

NEED HELP WITH THE SECND PART SEE BELOW.

This is a continuation of the previous problem...

One year passes.Joe is now out of the hospital.Seems his delivery company went on strike and Joe ran out of the "adult beverages" just before Hells Angels arrived at his bar.Funny, they did not want to hear about JIT inventory ... bottom line:it was real ugly!

Now Joe has decided "the heck with JIT, I want two weeks safety stock!"What will be the new reorder point (in units) ?
