Actual cost for this part: $4.16
Ordering Cost: $20.00
Holding cost: 20% of inventory investment
Units on hand: 0
Units on back order: 11
Units scheduled receipt: 150
Total Cost: $624 + $20 + $125 = $769

Ordering Cost: $10.00
Holding cost: 20% of inventory investment
Units on hand: 324
Total Cost: $1,383.50 + $10 + $277 = $1670.50

3. Proposed system for EG151; determine both Q and R.

2.86 x 52 = 149

4. Proposed system for DB032; determine both Q and R.

1.76 x 52 = 92

5. For EG151 proposed system, calculate the cost of both safety stock and stock outs. Calculate the cost of stock outs for the current system. Does the safety stock pay off?

6. For BD032 proposed system, calculate the cost of both safety stock and stock outs. Calculate the cost of stock outs for the current system. Does the safety stock pay off?
