A specialty coffeehouse sells Colombian coffee at a fairly steady rate of 280 pounds annually. The beans are purchased from a local supplier for $2.40 per pound. The coffeehouse estimates that it costs $45 in paperwork and labor to place an order for the coffee, and the holding costs are based on a 20 percent annual interest rate. What is the optimal order quantity for Colombian Coffee? - Chapter 4 Review - Use this assignment in your class!

Chapter 4 Review

1.A purchasing agent for a particular type of silicon wafer used in the production of semiconductors must decide among three sources. Source A will sell the silicon wafers for $2.50 per wafer, independently of the number of wafers ordered. Source B will sell the wafers for $2.40 each but will not consider an order for fewer than 3,000 wafers, and Source C will sell the wafers for $2.30 each but will not accept an order for fewer than 4,000 wafers. Assume an order setup cost of $100 and an annual requirement of 20,000 wafers. Assume a 20 percent annual interest rate for holding cost calculations. Derive the EOQ for three sources:

2.Going Back to the Silicon Wafer Problem, what are the total costs for each source? (below is the problem text)
