Question

13-13 just a home work.

Number every examle and pages, make it clear to me, please!

13-13. Consider the hotel laundry service situation in Problem 13-8. The normal charge for washing a soiled towel is $.60, but the laundry service will charge only $.50 if the hotel delivers the towels in lots of at least 2500. Should the hotel take advantage of the discount? 13-8. A hotel uses an external laundry service to provide clean towels. The hotel generates 600 soiled towels a day. The laundry service picks up the soiled towels and replaces them with clean ones at regular intervals. There is a fixed charge of $81 per pickup and delivery service, in addition to the variable cost of $.60 per towel. It costs the hotel S.02 a day to store a soiled towel and $.01 per day to store a clean one. How often should the hotel use the pickup and delivery service? (Hint: There are two types of inventory items in this situation. As the level of the soiled towels increases, that of clean towels decreases at an equal rate.)

Answer 1

13-13

If 2500 towels are delivered by hotel, then cost of washing towels = 0.5 x 2500 = $1250

Normal cost of washing 2500 towels = 0.6 x 2500 = $1500

So, The hotel should take the discount as it will help save them $1500-$1250 = $250
