The cost to prepare the equipment for producing hot dogs is $66. Annual holding costs are 45 cents per hot dog. The factory operates 291 days a year. a. Find the optimal run size. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Optimal run size b. Find the number of runs per year. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of runs c. Find the length (in days) of a run. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Run length (in days)Explanation / Answer
Explanation:
p= 5,000 hotdogs/day
u= 230 hotdogs/day
D= 230 hotdogs/day × 291 days/yr. = 66930 hotdogs/yr.
S= $66
H= $.45/hotdog per yr.
On calculation = 5451.91 = 5452
b
Number of runs per year = 66930/5452 = 12.27 = 12 runs per year.
c.
Run length (Q0/p) = 5452/5000 = 1.09 = 1 day.
b.D/Qo= 70,560/4,663 = 15.13, or about 15 runs/yr.c.
