b. What is the difference in inventory costs between the EOQ and the current order quantity of 10,000 units?

c. Given the EOQ calculated in part a., how many orders should be placed and what is the average inventory balance?

d. If it takes two days to receive an order from suppliers, at what inventory level should Lott place another order?

Ending Inventory_________________300    _ 450      630      810 _ 1050__1440____________

You may assume that each month has 30 days

a. Calculate the number of days of cost of goods sold held in inventory for March, April, May, and June assuming quarterly cost of goods sold is used to calculate average daily costs of goods sold.

b. Discuss your findings in part a.  What is happening with the firm's investment in inventory?

c. Below is a purchasing schedule and a schedule showing the dollar amount of those purchases remaining as an inventory balance for successive months. Calculate a balance fraction matrix and discuss what it shows about the firm's management of its inventory balance.
