Kelly sells orange juice in a competitive market on a busy street corner in New York....

Kelly sells orange juice in a competitive market on a busy street corner in New York. Her production function is ?(?1, ?2) = ?1 1/3 ?2 1/3, where output is measured in gallons, ?1 is number of pounds of oranges she uses, and ?2 is the number of labor-hours spent squeezing them. ?1 = $16 is the cost of a pound of oranges and ?2 = $2 is the wage rate for orange-squeezers.

At the cost minimizing input bundle, how much labor-hours are spent per pound of oranges? That is,

compute the ratio of x2/x1 at the cost minimizing input bundle

b) What is the optimal inputs bundle to produce 8 units of output in the cheapest way?

c) What is the minimized cost of producing 8 units of output?

d) Calculate the average cost when total cost of production is minimized and output is 8 units

e) If market price of orange juice is $20 per unit (p=$20), conditional on Kelly is now producing 8 units of

output in the cheapest way, what is Kelly’s total profit? Determine Kelly’s supply decision in long run

Suppose we have two ways to source a product. One way is from the local supplier,...

Suppose we have two ways to source a product. One way is from the local supplier, while a second way is from a distant supplier.

The terms and parameters for each source are as given in following table:

Local supplier Distant supplier
Cost per unit, c $1.15 $1.00
Lead time (no uncertainty), L 3 weeks 12 weeks
Transportation cost per unit, ct $0.10 $0.12

Suppose demand for the component is μ=500/week; σ=100/week. (Assume normally distributed demand)

Suppose we have a holding cost of h=$0.01/week. This applies to all inventory in the system.

1. Compute the total landed cost per unit (equal to the procurement cost plus transportation cost plus holding cost for pipeline stock) for each source.

2. Suppose we source from a single supplier, and suppose we assume a periodic review policy with r = 1 week; suppose we have a shortage cost π = 0.30/unit.

What is the base stock for each option that minimizes the expected costs?

3. Suppose we follow the base stock policy calculated in Question 2.

What is the expected total cost per week for each option?

The expected total cost is the sum of the procurement cost, the transportation cost, the inventory holding cost for the pipeline inventory plus the cycle stock and safety stock, and the shortage cost.

4. Suppose we implement a dual sourcing strategy, and we place a standing order with the distant supplier for 350 units per week.

Suppose it is Jan. 7, 2019, which is a review epoch at which we place an order to the local supplier. The prior orders from both the local and distant supplier have been received and the inventory on hand is 1000 units.

There are two orders in process with the local suppler: an order for 75 units to be delivered on Jan. 14, and on order for 100 units to be delivered on Jan. 21. In addition, under the terms of the standing order, the distant supplier will deliver 350 units on Jan. 14, Jan. 21, Jan. 28, etc.

Suppose the base stock level for the local supplier is 2370.

How much is the local supplier order on Jan. 7 for delivery on Jan. 28?
