Assignment Problem 4
Manchester Co. stocks Part #567. The annual demand rate for the part is constant and known to be 4000 units/year. The part is purchased at a cost of $4/unit from an independent supplier. The annual holding cost for Part #567 is 25% of the per-unit purchase price, per year. Every time an order is placed, a fixed cost of $80 is incurred. (Hints: Pay close attention to units.)

What is the optimal order quantity for minimizing the average annual total cost?
The new two questions are bonus.
(10 pts) What is the optimal number of times per year for Champaign Co. to place an order?
(10 pts) What is the corresponding average annual total cost?
