A firm's demand rate for a particular product is fixed and known as 50 tons per month. The company orders this product from its supplier and all orders come at the same time. Out of stock is allowed. If the monthly holding cost of this product is 4 dollars, the maximum stock amount is 15 tons, and the number of orders per year is 24 , calculate the monthly unit depletion cost of this product. A) 1.75 B) 2.5 C) 2.25 D) 2 E) 1.5

A business sells an item at a constant rate of $r$ units per month. It reorders in batches of $q$ units, at a cost of $a+b q$ dollars per order. Storage costs are $k$ dollars per item per month, and, on average, $q / 2$ items are in storage, waiting to be sold. [Assume $r, a, b, k$ are positive constants.] (a) How often does the business reorder? (b) What is the average monthly cost of reordering? (c) What is the total monthly cost, $C$ of ordering and storage? (d) Obtain Wilson's lot size formula, the optimal batch size which minimizes cost.
Using the Derivative
Profit, Cost, and Revenue
A company produces a product for which the marginal cost of producing $x$ units is modeled by $d C / d x=2 x-12,$ and the fixed costs are dollar 125 . (a) Find the total cost function and the average cost function. (b) Find the total cost of producing 50 units. (c) In part (b), how much of the total cost is fixed? How much is variable? Give examples of fixed costs associated with the manufacturing of a product. Give examples of variable costs.
