    A. (2 items) SleepWell Mattresses manufactures high-quality spring-based cotton mattresses.

    A set of
    eight
    (8) identical stainless-steel springs are used to produce a mattress. The inventory holding cost for
    springs is ₱2.15 per spring per year. SleepWell has an estimated annual demand for 20,000
    mattresses. Determine the quantity of springs SleepWell should procure to minimize the 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 for
    springs if the ordering cost per order is ₱50? Also, compute the average inventory level.

    B. (1 item) The annual demand for notebook binders at Meyer’s Stationery Shop is 10,000 units. Brad
    Meyer operates his business 300 days per year and finds that deliveries from his supplier
    generally take five (5) working days. Calculate the reorder point for the notebook binders.

    Since the annual demand is 10,000 units , and the Brand Meyer operates his business 300 days a year, the daily
    demand will be:

    D = D / Number of working days in a year


    = 10,000 / 300
    = 33.33 units per day

    R=DxL
    = 33.33 x 5
    = 166.6 round off 167 units.

    C. (5 items) You have developed the following estimates for procuring an item for your
    manufacturing operations:
    𝐷𝐷 is 3,600 units yearly (10 units per day)
    𝑃𝑃 is ₱25 per item
    𝑆𝑆 is ₱35 per order
    𝑖𝑖 is 25% annually

    The following two (2) options are available for you:


    Option 1: the supplier can supply all items at
    once. Option 2: The supplier can supply 15
    items per day.
    Based on the information you have, which of the above options would you prefer?
