Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 7 days per week

Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 7 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $10.75 per bag. The following information is available about these bags. Refer to the standard normal table for z-values. 

>Demand 95 bags/week 

>Order cost $56/order 

>Annual holding cost = 30 percent of cost 

>Desired cycle-service level = 99 percent 

>Lead time = 4 week(s) (28 working days) 

>Standard deviation of weekly demand = 20 bags 

>Current on-hand inventory is 325 bags, with no open orders or backorders


a. What is the EOQ? Sams optimal order quantity is 425 bags. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) What


a. What is the EOQ? 

Sam's optimal order quantity is _______  bags. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) 

What would be the average time between orders (in weeks)? 

The average time between orders is _______  weeks. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) 


b. What should R be? The reorder point is 118 bags. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) 

c. An inventory withdrawal of 10 bags was just made. Is it time to reorder? 

It is not time to reorder. 


d. The store currently uses a lot size of 490 bags (i.e., Q 490). What is the annual holding cost of this policy? 

The annual holding cost is $ 817.08. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) 

What is the annual ordering cost? 

The annual ordering cost is $ 615.51. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) 

Without calculating the EOQ, how can you conclude from these two calculations that the current lot size is too large? 

 A. There is not enough information to determine this.

 B. When Q 490, the annual holding cost is less then the ordering cost, therefore Q is too small.

 C. When Q 490, the annual holding cost is larger than the ordering cost, therefore Q is too large. 

 D. Both quantities are appropriate 


e. What would be the annual cost saved by shifting from the 490-bag lot size to the EOQ? 

The annual holding cost with the EoQ is S 708.69. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) 

The annual ordering cost with the EOQ is $ 709.65. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) 

Therefore, Sam's Cat Hotel saves $ 14.25 by shifting from the 490-bag lot size to the EOQ. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

Problem 8-21 (Algorithmic)

Round Tree Manor is a hotel that provides two types of rooms with three rental classes: Super Saver, Deluxe, and Business. The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows:

Rental Class


Room
Super Saver Deluxe Business
Type I $36 $38
Type II $15 $26 $38

Type I rooms do not have wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class.

Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 140 rentals in the Super Saver class, 60 rentals in the Deluxe class, and 40 rentals in the Business class. Round Tree has 125 Type I rooms and 135 Type II rooms.

  1. Use linear programming to determine how many reservations to accept in each rental class and how the reservations should be allocated to room types.
    Variable # of reservations
    SuperSaver rentals allocated to room type I
    SuperSaver rentals allocated to room type II
    Deluxe rentals allocated to room type I
    Deluxe rentals allocated to room type II
    Business rentals allocated to room type II
  2. How many reservations can be accommodated in each rental class?
    Rental Class # of reservations
    SuperSaver
    Deluxe
    Business

Hanson Inn is a 96-room hotel located near the airport and convention center in Louisville, Kentucky. When a convention or a special event is in town, Hanson increases its normal room rates and takes reservations based on a revenue management system. The Classic Corvette Owners Association scheduled its annual convention in Louisville for the first weekend in June. Hanson Inn agreed to make at least 50% of its rooms available for convention attendees at a special convention rate in order to be listed as a recommended hotel for the convention. Although the majority of attendees at the annual meeting typically request a Friday and Saturday two-night package, some attendees may select a Friday night only or a Saturday night only reservation. Customers not attending the convention may also request a Friday and Saturday two-night package, or make a Friday night only or Saturday night only reservation. Thus, six types of reservations are possible: convention customers/two-night package; convention customers/Friday night only; convention customers/Saturday night only; regular customers/two-night package; regular customers/Friday night only; and regular customers/Saturday night only.

The cost for each type of reservation is shown here:

Two-Night
Package
Friday Night
Only
Saturday Night
Only
Convention $225 $123 $130
Regular $295 $146 $152

The anticipated demand for each type of reservation is as follows:

Two-Night
Package
Friday Night
Only
Saturday Night
Only
Convention 40 20 15
Regular 20 30 25

Hanson Inn would like to determine how many rooms to make available for each type of reservation in order to maximize total revenue.

  1. Define the decision variables and state the objective function. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
    Let CT = number of convention two-night rooms
    CF = number of convention Friday only rooms
    CS = number of convention Saturday only rooms
    RT = number of regular two-night rooms
    RF = number of regular Friday only rooms
    RS = number of regular Saturday only room
    CT + CF + CS + RT + RF + RS
  2. Formulate a linear programming model for this revenue management application. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. If the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box.
    CT + CF + CS + RT + RF + RS
    S.T.
    1) CT
    2) CF
    3) CS
    4) RT
    5) RF
    6) RS
    7) CT + CF
    8) CT + CS
    9) CT + CF + RT + RF
    10) CT + CS + RT + RS
    11) CT, CF, CS, RT, RF, RS 0
  3. What are the optimal allocation and the anticipated total revenue? Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
    Variable Value
    CT
    CF
    CS
    RT
    RF
    RS

    Total Revenue = $  
  4. Suppose that one week before the convention the number of regular customers/Saturday night only rooms that were made available sell out. If another nonconvention customer calls and requests a Saturday night only room, what is the value of accepting this additional reservation? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

    The dual value for constraint 10 shows an added profit of $   if this additional reservation is accepted.
