Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 3

 In an ideal inventory control system, the economic lot size for a part is 1000. If the annual demand for the part is doubled, the new economic lot size required will be

[1989]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 3

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 4

 When the annual demand of a product is 24000 units, the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) is 2000 units. If the annual demand is 48000 units the most appropriate EOQ will be

[1991]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 4

The correct option is C 2800 units
Given that:

Annual demand, D = 24000 units

Economic order quantity, EOQ = 2000 units

Annual demand increases to 48000,

then, D' = 48000 = 2 × 24000 = 2D

Economic order quantity when demand is 48000,

EOQ′=√2 EOQ=√2×2000

=2828.427 units=2800 unit

 

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 5

If the demand for an item is doubled and the ordering cost halved, the economic order quantity

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 6

In inventory planning, extra in ventory is unnecessarily carried to the end of the planning period when using one of the following lot size decision policies:

[1998]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 6
  • A decision about how much to order has great significance in inventory management.
  • The quantity to be purchased should neither be small nor big because the costs of buying and carrying materials are very high.
  • Economic order quantity is the size of the lot to be purchased which is economically viable.
  • This is the number of materials that can be purchased at minimum costs.
  • Generally, economic order quantity is the point at which inventory carrying costs are equal to order costs.
  • First, EOQ policy is not optimal in MRP system because the assumptions of constant demand are not met.
  • As compared with a lot-for-lot policy, the setup costs for an EOQ policy will generally be lower and holding costs will be higher.
  • Second, in an EOQ policy, extra inventory is unnecessarily carried to the end of the planning horizon.

At EOQ:

Ordering cost = Holding cost

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 7

In computing Wilson's economic lot size for an item, by mistake the demand rate estimate used was 40% higher than the true demand rate. Due to this error in the lot size computation, the total cost of setup plus inventory holding per unit time. Would rise above the true optimum by approximately

[1999]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 7

 

Q∗∝√D

Q∗1∝√1.4D

∝√1.4√D∝√1.4 Q∗

Now initial inventory cost =DQ∗C0+Q∗2Cn

Now total inventory cost

=1.4D√1.4 Q∗C0+√1.4 Q∗2Cn

=√1.4(DQ∗C0+Q∗2Cn)

=√1.4 (initial inventory cost)

= 1.183 (initial inventory cost)

Total rise = 18.3%

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 10

A company has an annual demand of 1000 units, ordering cost of Rs. 100/ order and carrying cost of Rs. 100/unit-year. If the stockout costs are estimated to be nearly Rs. 400 each time the company runs out-of-stock, the safety stock justified by the carrying cost will be

[2004]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 10

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 11

Consider the following data for an item. Annual demand : 2500 units per year Ordering cost: Rs. 100 per order, Inventory holding rate: 25% of unit price Price quoted by a supplierThe optimum order quantity (in units) is

[2006]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 11

D = 2500 units/years
CO = Rs. 100/order
Ch = (0.25) Unit + Price

 

Since Total cost minimum at Q = 500 units
∴ the optimal order quality is Q = 500 units

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 12

A stockist wishes to optimize the number of perishable items he needs to stock in any month in his store. The demand distribution for this perishable item is

The stockist pays Rs. 70 for each item and he sells each at Rs. 90. If the stock is left unsold in any month, he can sell the item at Rs. 50 each. There is no penalty for unfulfilled demand. To maximize the expected profit, the optimal stock level is

[2006]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 12

P (d ≥ Q) = Probability that the demand for Q units or more

MP = Marginal profit per unit sold = 90 – 70 = Rs. 20

ML = Marginal profit per unit sold = 70 – 50 = Rs. 20

Since P = 0.5 is between the cumulative probability 0.45 and 0.8.

Hence to maximize profit, optimal stock level is 4.

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 13

The maximum level of inventory of an item is 100 and it is achieved with infinite replenishment rate. The inventory becomes zero over one and half month due to consumption at a uniform rate. This cycle continues through out the year. Ordering cost is Rs. 100 per order and inventory carrying cost is Rs. 10 per item per month. Annual cost (in Rs.) of the plan, neglecting material cost, is

 

[2007 : 2 Marks]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 13

 

Number of cycle required per year =  

Ordering cost = 8 × 100 = Rs. 800,

Average inventory per cycle = 100/2 = 50,

Inventory carrying cost =  50 × 12 × 10 = Rs. 6000

∴ Total cost = 800 + 6000 = 6800

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 15

The net requirements of an item over 5 consecutive weeks are 50-0-15-20-20. The inventory carrying cost and ordering cost are Rs. 1 per item per week and Rs. 100 per order respectively. Starting inventory is zero. Use "Least Unit Cost Technique" for developing the plan. The cost of the plan (in Rs.) is

[2007]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 15

Ch = 1 per unit per week
CO = 100/order

The order is placed two times, 65 units at starting and 40 units after 3rd week.

Total cost of plan = 115 + 15 + 120 = 250 Rs.

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 16

A company uses 2555 units of an item annually.Delivery lead time is 8 days. The reorder point (in number of units) to achieve optimum inventory is

[2009]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 16

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 17

 Annual demand for window frames is 10000.Each frame costs Rs. 200 and ordering cost is Rs. 300 per order. Inventory holding cost is Rs. 40 per frame per year. The supplier is willing to offer 2% discount if the order quantity is 1000 or more, and 4% if order quantity is 2000 or more. If the total cost is to be minimized, the retailer should

[2010]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 17

= Rs.196150
Since total cost is minimum at Q = 2000 Therefore 4% discount can be accepted.

Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 18

A component can be produced by any of the four processes I, II, III and IV. The fixed cost and the variable cost for each of the processes are listed below. The most economical process for producing a batch of 100 pieces is

[2014]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Inventory Control - Question 18

TC = Fixed Cost + Variable cost
TCI = 20 + 100  × 3 = Rs.320
TCII = 50 + 100 × 1 = Rs.150
TCIII = 40 + 100 × 2 = Rs.240
TCIV = 10 + 100 × 4 = Rs.410

Since the total cost for Process II is minimum So II is the cost for economical point of view
