Tradewinds Imports is an importer of ceramics from overseas. It has arranged to purchase a particular type of ceramic pottery from a Korean artisan. The artisan makes thepottery in 120-unit batches and will ship only that exactamount. The transportation and handling cost of a shipment is $7600 (not including the unit cost).

Ikagami Retail receives shipments of a particular product from Booker Store and PaulEnterprises. Let x = number of units of product received from Booker Store y = number of units of products received from Paul Enterprises Requirement: a. Write an expression for the total number of units of products received by Ikagami Retail.b. Shipments from Booker Store cost P20 per unit, and shipments from Paul Ent cost P25 per unit. Develop an objective function representing the total cost of shipments to Ikagami.c. Assuming a monthly demand at Ikagami is 5,000 units, develop a constraint that requires 5,000 units to be shipped to Ikagami.d. No more than 4,000 units can be shipped from Booker, and no more than 3,000 from Paul. Develop constraints to model this situation.e. Of course, negative amounts cannot be shipped. Combine the objective function and constraints developed to state a mathematical model for satisfying the demand at Ikagami at minimum cost.

The company Marombeiro is a commercial representative of a food supplement widely consumed in gyms. The average daily demand for the product is 1,500 units and a standard deviation of 300 units. Average shipping time is 5 days. Of course, if the order is placed at the end of the week, it may take a little longer to receive the shipment, so the standard deviation of the delivery time is 2 days. The unit has a value of R$ 50.00 per unit in stock, an order cost of R$ 50.00 and an annual maintenance fee of 20%. Assume the service level is 99.5%. How much safety stock should the company have? ( )7,500 units ( )19,350 units ( )3,074 units ( )7,916 units
