A truck is purchased for $40,000. The interest rate is 14%. Consider 2 alternatives.

A1: The truck is driven for 10 years, and then sold for $6000. Routine maintenance is $600 per year. A $3000 repair occurs in year 8.

A2: The truck is driven for 5 years and then sold for $18000. Routine maintenance is $600 per year. Repairs covered by warranty.

a. Show the money flow for each alternative (use diagram similar to figure 8.5 or table of disbursements /receipts) .

      b. Compute the annual equivalent cost of the $3000 repair that occurs in year 8 of Alternative A1.

c. Calculate the annual equivalent cost of A1 (keeping the truck for 10 years)

d. Calculate the annual equivalent cost of A2 (keeping the truck for 5 years)

Questions:

Discuss three operation research (OR) problems of Amazon, and explain appropriate quantitative methods (QM) which may help solve the problems.

Amazon uses e-commerce to lower inventory and facility costs, but processing costs and transportation costs increase. Amazon is able to decrease inventories by consolidating them in a few locations. A bookstore chain, on the other hand, must carry the title at every store. Amazon carries high-volume titles in inventory, but purchases low-volume titles from distributors in response to a customer order. This also tends to lower costs because the distributor is aggregating (consolidating) orders across bookstores in addition to Amazon.

E-commerce allows Amazon to lower facility costs because it does not need the retail infrastructure that a bookstore chain must have. Initially, Amazon did not have a warehouse and purchased all books from distributors. When demand volumes were low, the distributor was a more economical source. However, as demand grew, Amazon opened its own warehouses for high-volume books. Thus, Amazon's facility costs are growing but still remain lower than for a bookstore chain. Amazon does, however, incur higher order-processing costs than a bookstore chain. At a bookstore, the customer selects the books, and only cashiers are needed to receive payment. At Amazon, no cashiers are needed, but every order is picked from the warehouse and packed for delivery. For books that are received from distributors, additional handling at Amazon adds to the cost of processing orders.

Amazon's distribution incurs higher transportation costs than a retail store. Local bookstores do not have the cost of shipments to customers, as most customers take the books with them at the time of the sale. Amazon, in contrast, incurs this cost—which represents a significant fraction of the cost of a book (as high as 100% on an inexpensive book). As demand has grown, Amazon has opened six warehouses, with more than 3 million square feet, in an effort to get close to the customer, decrease transportation costs, and improve response time.
