Information given in the question:
Average Sale – 100,000 books per month
Set-up Costs - $5,000 for each print run
Production costs - $1.00 per book
Storage costs - $0.01 per book
Calculation of costs for printing the books in 2 print runs of 600,000 books each:
Set-up Costs – $5,000 x 2 = $10,000
Production costs = 1,200,000 units x $1.00 = $1,200,000
Storage costs:
As shown in the diagram, the average inventory of books in stock will be 300,000 books for 6 months.
Therefore, Storage costs = (300,000 units x 6 months x $0.01 per book) x 2 = $36,000.
Total Costs = Set-up costs + Production costs + Storage costs
= $10,000 + $1,200,000 + $36,000
= $1,246,000
D. Total cost for the year is $1,246,000
To cut down on storage costs you will print the book in two print runs of 600,000 each
