Sarah’s Organic Soap Company makes organic liquid soaps. She purchases organic Palm oil to make her soaps. She needs 1,000 kgs of Palm oil per day on average. The supplier charges a $60 delivery fee per order (which is independent of the order size). Sarah’s annual holding cost is $1.825 per kg of palm oil. Assume there are 365 days a year.

1. If Sarah wants to minimize inventory holding and ordering costs, how much Palm oil should she purchase with each order (in kgs)?

2. What is the daily cost of ordering and holding when EOQ is ordered?

3. Again, assume that Sarah needs 1,000 kgs of Palm oil per day. Sarah’s supplier is willing to sell Palm oil to her at a 10% discount on its selling price if she purchases 10,000 kgs at a time. If Sarah takes the offer and orders 10,000 kg at a time, how much will be the resulting daily cost of ordering and holding?

(Assume that the fixed cost of ordering is $60 per order and the per unit inventory holding cost is 0.005 per day per kg of Palm oil.)

4. Again, assume that Sarah needs 1,000 kgs of Palm oil per day. Sarah’s supplier is willing to sell Palm oil to her at a 10% discount on its selling price if she purchases 10,000 kgs at a time. The current selling price for Palm oil before the quantity discount is $5 per kg. If Sarah takes the offer and orders 10,000 kg at a time, how much does she save on the cost of Palm oil each day?

(Note that the daily cost of Palm oil is determined by the daily demand multiplied by the selling price.)

David Ortega works for WebLINE, a web hosting and design company. One of his clients, a musician named Harry Gorman, is posting copyrighted material by other artists on his website in a format that can be illegally downloaded and reproduced. This is a violation of the client’s contract with WebLINE. According to the terms of the WebLINE contract, the company can shut down any client’s website without prior warning if the terms of the contract are violated.

David has worked with Harry Gorman for more than seven years. Harry is a loyal client who has referred a good deal of business David’s way. Since David is unsure if Harry realizes that he is violating the WebLINE contract and is also unsure if any materials have been illegally downloaded yet, David decides to contact Harry before making the decision to shut down his site. David sends Harry the following email message.

Subject: Your terms of contract with WebLINE

Hi Harry,

For the past seven years, we have appreciated your business. Recently, however, it was brought to my attention that you are posting copyrighted material by other artists. I think this is a problem because this content can be illegally downloaded from your website. This is a violation of your contract with us. It could cost our company hundreds of millions of dollars. If these actions continue, I might lose my job, and the whole company might be put out of business.

I want to give you a chance to take down the illegal content before it becomes a problem. You must comply by 5:00 p.m. today, or your website will be rendered inactive.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

David Ortega
