d. Determine the best forecasting revenue based on MSE (Mean squared error)
Method MSE
Two-period moving average 390 535
Three-period moving average 40 819
Exponential Smoothing with Trend 15 423
→ Based on the MSE values provided, the Exponential Smoothing with Trend method
has the lowest MSE (15 423), which indicates that it provides the best forecasting
revenue among the three methods.
Determine the break-even point. According to the best forecasting revenue in 2022 from
question D, what should this firm do? Why?
Expenses Cost
Warehouse 30,000,000 vnđ/month
Materials 50,000 vnđ/1 package
Labor expenses 35,500,000 vnđ/month
Tax 20% total revenue
Operating expenses 15% total revenue
Marketing expenses 10% total revenue
Selling expenses 10,000 vnđ/1 package
Managerial expenses 10% total revenue
Other expenses 6% total revenue
2. Super K Beverage Company distributes a soft drink that has a constant annual demand
rate of 15 423 (Y1) packages, daily standard deviation is 10 cases. A package of the soft
drink costs Super K $2.5. Ordering costs are $22 per order, and inventory-holding costs
are charged at 23 percent of the cost per unit. There are 213 (Y2) working days per
year, and the lead time is 4 days.
a. Find the economic order quantity and total annual cost, and compute the reorder point
with safety stock to ensure 95% service level (z= 1.64).
b. Assume that the production rate is 100 cases/day. Find out the optimal quantity of
product.
c. Super K Beverage gets a special offer from their supplier with 10% discount for the
order with the number of products being higher than 700 units, and 20% discount for the
ordering number being larger than 1200 units. Should Super K Beverage consider its
EOQ again?
Y1 = 15 423
Y2 = 260 – 47 = 213
D = annual demand = 15,423 packages
S = ordering cost = $22 per order
H = inventory holding cost = 23% of $2.5 = $0.575 per package
• Economic order quantity: EOQ = √(2DS/H) = 1086 packages
Q = order quantity = 1086
p = cost per package = $2.5
• Total annual cost = DS/Q + QH/2 + Dp = $39 182
d = daily demand = 15,423 / 213 = 72 packages
L = lead time = 4 days
σ = standard deviation of daily demand = 10
• Safety stock (zσL) = z × σ × √(LT)
• Reorder point = (d x L) + z × σ × √(LT) = 320
