PowerBright must decide between two locations on which to build a new power station to provide 60 megawatt hours of electricity a month. Location A would have a variable cost of $1,000 per megawatt hour and Location B would have a variable cost of $1,500 per megawatt hour. A power station at Location A would also require a fixed cost of $70,000 a month, although an estimate of the monthly fixed cost at Location B has not been made available yet, due to ongoing negotiations with a land owner there. At what fixed cost for Location B would PowerBright be indifferent to the choice of either of these two locations?

Atoy manufacturer makes its own wind-up motors, which are then put into its toys. while the toy manufacturing process is continuous, the motors are intermittent flow. data on the manufacture of the motors appears below.annual demand (d) = 50,000 units daily subassembly production rate = 1,000setup cost (s) = $85 per batch daily subassembly usage rate = 200carrying cost = $.20 per unit per year(a) to minimize cost, how large should each batch of subassemblies be? (b) approximately how many days are required to produce a batch? (c) how long is a complete cycle? (d) what is the average inventory for this problem? (e) what is the total annual inventory cost (holding plus setup) of the optimal behavior in this problem?
