Suppose that the annual demand for a componet is aproximately 60,000 units. The company ordes the component from a supplier who has offered the following quantity discount shedule.
order Quantity Price per unit
0-999 $30
1,000-1,999 $29
2,000-3,999 $28
4,000-or more $27
If the company's carrying charges is 15 percent of the item's price and the cost per order is $150, determine yhe order quantity that would minimize the total related inventory cost for this component.

An airline is planning on making changes to its Frequent Flyer program. Before implementing them, they want to know what their customers think about the changes. They plan to sample a portion of their customers who are members of their Frequent Flyer program. They have two lists:
One sorted by what level of frequent flyer the customer is: Gold (15 or more flights a year; about 15% of customers), Silver (5 to 14 flights a year; about 25% of customers); Bronze (less than 5 flights a year; about 60% of customers)
One sorted by city the customer normally flys out of: There are 15 Canadian “hubs” or cities on this list
(a) Which of the two lists would you use if you plan to use Stratified Sampling and why? Then give 1 or 2 lines explaining how you would use the list to get your sample of customers. (1 + 1 = 2 marks)
(b) Which of the two lists would you use if you plan to use Cluster Sampling and why? Give 1 line explaining how you would use the list to get your sample if you use “single stage” clustering. Then give 1 line explaining how you would use the list if you use “multi - stage” clustering. (1 + 1 + 1 = 3 marks)
