Sales = 8.50 + 0.150 TIME - 2.70 Q1 + 1.20 Q2 + 3.5 Q3
where TIME is time period. (time is zero in the fourth quarter of 2009, time is 1 in the first quarter of 2010 and 2 in the second quarter of 2010 etc.) and Q1, Q2, and Q3 are quarterly dummy variables.

Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 6 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $11.00 per bag. The following information is available about these bags:
Demand=80 bags/week
Order cost=$55.00/order
Annual holding cost=40 percent of cost
Desired cycle-service level=80 percent
Lead time=5 weeks (30 working days)
Standard deviation of weekly demand=15 bags
Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders.
a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 80 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 55 bags per week. How much higher will total costs be, owing to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast error?
The costs will be $___ higher owing to the error in EOQ. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
b. Suppose that actual demand is 50 bags but that ordering costs are cut to only $13.00 by using the internet to automate order placing. However, the buyer does not tell anyone, and the EOQ is not adjusted to reflect this reduction in S. How much higher will total costs be, compared to what they could if the EOQ were adjusted?
The costs will be $____ higher owing to the error EOQ.
