Sam's Cat Hotel operates 51 weeks per year, 6 days per week. It purchases kitty litter for $6.50 per bag. The following information is available about these bags: ≻Demand = 70 bags/week ≻Order cost = $75/order ≻Annual holding cost = 22 percent of cost ≻Desired cycle-service level=99 percent ≻Lead time = 1 week(s) (6 working days) ≻Standard deviation of weekly demand = 7 bags ≻Current on-hand inventory is 200 bags, with no open orders or backorders. Suppose that Sam's Cat Hotel uses a P system. The average daily demand, d, is 12 bags (70/6), and the standard deviation of daily demand, Standard Deviation of Weekly Demand Days per Week, is 2.858 bags. Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders.

Required:
a. What is the EOQ? What would the average time between orders (in weeks)?
b. What should R be?
c. An inventory withdraw of 10 bags was just made. Is it time to reorder?
d. The store currently uses a lot size of 500 bags (i. e., Q=500). What is the annual holding cost of this policy? Annual ordering cost? Without calculating the EOQ, how can you conclude lot size is too large?
