The monthly demand of a new motorcycle is 200 units. The manufacturer wants to design an inventory policy for tires. Tires are ordered from a Korean supplier at a cost $70 and each order takes 3 weeks to arrive to the facility. The cost of placing an order is $500. Also history indicates that the average storage cost is $5 month.

a. What is the optimal order quantity?
b. What would be the minimum inventory cost?
c. The supplier is offering a discount price of 0.50 per tire if the company orders 1000 or more. Is it worth to take the discount? Justify.
d. The company wants to ensure a 95% service level (z=1.645) What would be the annual inventory cost of the safety stock and the reordering point? (Assume a daily standard deviation demand of 5 vehicles)
