dit Ihsert Format ArrangeView Share Window Help INTRO AG HW 3-Edited Estimating Economic Order Quantity and Reorder Point In order the produce beer, RBC requires several inputs including malted barley. RBC needs enough malted barley in stock to be able to quickly respond to demand, but RBC has limited storage space and must sacrifice valuable service area in order to store a large quantity of barley. Complicating the situation further is the high shipping costs associated with waiting until the last minute to order relatively smaller quantities of malted barley. Use the following information to solve for the Economic Order Quantity and the Reorder Point for RBC. P price per unit C - carrying cost percentage Q-inventory quantity R annual use C-15% per year Rs 1200 bags per year S $25 per order S = cost of placing an order P = $50 per bag 1. What is the inventory quantity that will minimize total inventory cost? Round to the nearest whole number 2. What are the Carrying Costs (CC), Ordering Costs (OC), and Total Cost (TC) at the inventory quantity estimated in (1)? 3. If it takes 10 days for RBC to receive an order of malted barley, what is the Reorder Point (ROP)? Round to the nearest whole number.
