Ross White (see Problem 9) wants to reconsider his decision of buying the brackets and is considering making the brackets in-house. He has determined that setup costs would be $25 in machinist time and lost production time, and 50 brackets could be produced in a day once the machine has been set up. Ross estimates that the cost (including labor time and materials) of producing one bracket would be $14.80. The holding cost would be 10% of this cost.

(a) What is the daily demand rate?

(b) What is the optimal production quantity?

(d) If Ross uses the optimal production quantity, what would be the maximum inventory level? What would be the average inventory level? What is the annual holding cost?

(e) How many production runs would there be each year? What would be the annual setup cost?

(f) Given the optimal production run size, what is the total annual inventory cost?

(g) If the lead time is one-half day, what is the ROP?
