A hospital uses two types of surgical kits (M1 and M2). They use a (Q, R) system with a service level of 94%. Each time they place an order, there is a transaction cost of $500 (independent of order size). Each surgical kit costs $60 and they use a discount rate of 18%. Annual demand for each is normally distributed: M1 has a mean of 8,000 and a standard deviation of 2000; M2 has a mean of 7,000 and a standard deviation of 3000. Leadtime is 1.5 months. They are considering using only one type of surgical kit and have found that mean demand would be approximately the same. Determine how the safety stock, cycle stock, and pipeline stock will change if they go to a single kit type.

When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount s present at time t, that is, ds/dt = rs, where r is the annual rate of interest. (a) find the amount of money accrued at the end of 3 years when $4000 is deposited in a savings account drawing 5 3 4 % annual interest compounded continuously. (round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ (b) in how many years will the initial sum deposited have doubled? (round your answer to the nearest year.) years (c) use a calculator to compare the amount obtained in part (a) with the amount s = 4000 1 + 1 4 (0.0575) 3(4) that is accrued when interest is compounded quarterly. (round your answer to the nearest cent.) s = $
