Sportsman Textiles (ST) manufactures the Galaxy jerseys that Wonder Line (WAL) sells to its customers. ST has recently installed computer software that enables its customers to conduct “one-stop” purchasing using state-of- the-art Web site technology. WI's ordering cost per purchase order willbe S40 using this new technology. 1. Calculate the £00 for the Galaxy jerseys using the revised ordering cost of $40 Per purchase order. Qssume all other data from Exercise 20-21 are the same. Comment onthe result. 2 Suppose ST proposes to “assist” WL. ST will allow WL customers to wer directly from the ST Web site. ST would ship directly to these customers. ST would pay $12 to WL for every Galaxy jersey purchased by one of WL’s customers. Comment qualitatively on how this offer would affect inventory management at WL What factors should WL consider in deciding whether to aecept ST's proposal? 20-23 E00 fora retailer.

Sk8 requires a 15% annual rate of return on investment. In addi- tion, the relevant carrying cost (for insurance, materials handling, breakage, etc) is $0.17 per unit per year, The relevant ordering cost per purchase order is $38.40. 1, Calculate Sk8's EOQ for the wheel bearing. 2 Calculate Sk8's annual relevant ordering costs for the EOQ calculated in requirement 1. 3. Calculate Ské's annual relevant carrying costs for the EOQ calculated in requirement 1. 4.

After production, the shoes are distributed to 20 warehouses sround the country. Each warehouse services approximately 100 stores in its region. Chadwick uses an £0 model to determine the number of pairs of shoes to order for each warehouse from the factory. Annual demand for ‘Warehouse ORZ is approximately 120,000 pairs of shoes. The ordering cost is $250 per order. The annual carrying cost of e pair of shoes is $2.40 per pair. 1.

If ittakes 1 week to receive an order, at what point should warehouse OR2 reorder shoes? 3.

(CMA, adapted) The Gibson Corporation is 2 manufacturing company that uses automatic stamping machines to manufacture garage doors from rolled sheets of raw steel. Gibson's inventory of raw steel averages $600,000. Juan Sanchez, president of Gibson, and Jane Anderson, Gibson's controller, are concerned about the costs of carrying inventory. The steel supplier is wiling to supply steel in smaller lots at no additional charge. Anderson identifies the following effects of adopting a JIT inventory program to virtually eliminate steel inventory: isthe annual costo’ FT previous parts of the proplem.

How- ever, by incurring overtime premiums of $90,000 per year, the increase in lost sales could be reduced to 300 units per year. This would be the maximum amount of overtime that would be feasible for Gibson. = Two warehouses currently used for rolled steel storage would no longer be needed. Gibson rents ‘one warehouse from another company under a cancelable leasing arrangement at an annual cost of ‘$80,000. The other warehouse is owned by Gibson and contains 20,000 square feet. Three-fourths of the space in the owned warehouse could be rented for $2.50 per square foot per year. Insurance and property tax costs totaling $16,000 per year would be eliminated.
