A food processor uses approximately 28,560 glass jars a month

for its fruit juice product. Because of storage limitations, a lot

size of 4,000 jars has been used. Monthly holding cost is 18 cents

per jar, and reordering cost is $60 per order. The company operates

an average of 20 days a month.

What monthly penalty is the company incurring by its present

order size? (Round your intermediate order quantity to

nearest whole number and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the

"$" sign in your response.)

The manager would prefer ordering 9 times each month but would

have to justify any change in order size. One possibility is to

simplify order processing to reduce the ordering cost. What

ordering cost would enable the manager to justify ordering every

other day? (Round your intermediate order

quantities to whole number and the other values to 2 decimal

Suppose that after investigating ordering cost, the manager is

able to reduce it to $50. How else could the manager justify using

an order size that would be consistent with ordering every other

day? (Round your intermediate order

quantities to whole number and final answer to 4

decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
