Please can you answer question 17 - 20.
Also, please can you show the works on how you arrive at the final answer? Thank you!
The decision as to whether to send production to China involves a number of issues. Table 11.11 provides a cost comparison between production in San Francisco and in China. There is clearly a dramatic difference in labor costs on a per-hour basis, but the workers in San Francisco are slightly more productive (they require 49 minutes per bag instead of 63 minutes). Material costs do not differ between the two options, because in both cases materials are procured in China. It costs $1 per bag to send it from China via ocean carrier, but the lead time is probably eight weeks when all of the steps are accounted for (e.g., production, movement to the port, and actual shipping). To get a faster lead time would require air shipments, but that is much more expensive: $15 per bag.

Timbuk2 is considering moving production of wholesale bags to China. It can place orders with its Chinese supplier every four weeks; that is, one period equals four weeks. Its lead time is two periods; that is, L=2. Average demand for one type of wholesale bag is 200 bags per period (i.e. they sell, on average, 200 bags every four weeks), with a standard deviation of 100 bags. The holding cost for each bag for each period is $1, and it would operate with a 2.5 safety factor.
