Roberts, an outfit manufacturer, produces a line of jackets. There are currently 3 temporary employees and 12 full-time employees to produce parkas. More temporary employees can be hired if additional production capacity is needed. Each full time employee can produce 205 jackets, whereas each temporary employee can produce 165 jackets per month. Demand for jackets for the next four months is as follows:
October 3,200
November 2,800
December 3,100
January 3,000
i. The beginning inventory in October is 403 jackets. Each jacket cost $40 to produce and the annual holding cost is 24% of the unit production cost. Develop an aggregate plan that uses the 12 full-time employees each month and a minimum number of temporary employees. Assume that all employees will produce at their full potential each month.
ii. Calculate the inventory holding cost associated with your aggregate plan based on the planned end of month inventory (i.e., ending inventory in each month).

RentAPhone is a new service company that provides European mobile phones to American visitors to Europe. The company currently has 90 phones available at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. There are, on average, 25 customers per day requesting a phone. These requests arrive uniformly throughout the 24 hours the store is open. (Note:This means customers arrive at a faster rate than 1 customer per hour.) The corresponding coefficient of variation is 1.
Customers keep their phones on average 84 hours. The standard deviation of this time is 72 hours.
Given that RentAPhone currently does not have a competitor in France providing equally good service, customers are willing to wait for the telephones. Yet, during the waiting period, customers are provided a free calling card. Based on prior experience, RentAPhone found that the company incurred a cost of $1 per hour per waiting customer, independent of day or night.

(c) What are the total monthly (30 days) expenses for telephone cards? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(e) How would waiting time change if the company decides to limit all rentals to exactly 84 hours? Assume that if such a restriction is imposed, the number of customers requesting a phone would be reduced to 15 customers per day. (Round your answer to five decimal places.)
