- Flanger is an industrial distributor that sources from hundreds of suppliers. One of these vendors supplies three products—A, B, and C—to Flanger. Annual demand for the three products are 24000, 600, and 600 units respectively. All the three products cost $200 per unit. Flanger uses a trucking company that charges a fixed transportation cost of $4000. An additional fixed cost of $1000 is incurred for receiving and storage. Flanger incurs a holding cost of 20% of the product purchase price. a. Evaluate the lot sizes that Flanger should order if lots for each product are ordered and delivered independently. What is the annual total cost (holding and ordering) of such a policy? b. Suppose the three product managers overseeing the replenishment of products A, B, and C decide to aggregate and order all three products each time they place an order. Evaluate the optimal order size for each product in this case. What is the annual total cost (holding and ordering) of this policy? c.

Little Light makes 40,000 units per year of a part that it uses in the manufacturing of each lamp. At this activity level, the unit production cost is $7.17. Of this amount, $4.71 is for unit variable production costs. The remainder is for fixed production costs and equals $98,400. Little Light has identified an outsider supplier who sells the needed part. If the part is purchased from the outsider supplier, 15% of Little Light's fixed manufacturing costs will be eliminated. Assume Little Light will need 50,000 of the part next year and that the freed up capacity can be rented out to another company for $31,740. At what purchase price will Little Light be economically indifferent between making the part and buying the part? $4.70 $4.86 $5.97 $5.50 $5.64arrow_forward
