A manager receives a forecast for next year. Demand is projected to be 600 units for the first half of the year and 900 units for the second half. The monthly holding cost is $ 2 per unit, and it costs an estimated $ 55 to process an order. 1) Assuming that monthly demand will be level during each of the six-month periods covered by the forecast (e. g. 100 per month for each of the first six months), determine an order size that will minimize the sum of ordering and carrying costs for each of the six-month period. 2) If the vendor is willing to offer a discount of $ 10 per order for ordering in multiples of 50 units (e. g. 50, 100, 150), would you advise the manager to take advantage of the offer in either period

The typical consumer's food basket in the base year 2015 is as follows: 30 chickens at $4 each 10 hams at $5 each 10 steaks at $8 each a chicken feed shortage causes the price of chickens to rise to $5.00 each in the year 2016. hams rise to $7.00 each, and the price of steaks is unchanged. a. calculate the change in the "cost-of-eating" index between 2015 and 2016. year cost of the basket 2015 $ 2016 $ instructions: enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. the official cost-of-eating index has by %. b. suppose that consumers are completely indifferent between two chickens and one ham. for this example, how large is the substitution bias in the official "cost-of-eating" index? the in the cost-of-eating index is %. the of inflation in the cost of eating reflects substitution bias.
