Expert Answer
Please see below the calculations
| Supplier 1 | Supplier 2 | ||
| (A) | Annual Demand | 120,000.00 | 120,000.00 |
| (B) | After adjusting for defect rate | 122,400.00 | 121,200.00 |
| (C ) | Order lot size | 2,500.00 | 2,500.00 |
| (D) | Number of orders (rounding up) (B)/ (C ) | 49.00 | 49.00 |
| (E) | Ordering cost ($100/ order) | 4,900.00 | 4,900.00 |
| (F) | Tooling cost | 13,500.00 | 5,250.00 |
| (G) | Cost price per order* | 773,991.00 | 783,489.00 |
| (H) | Total cost of purchases (first 48 orders) | 37,151,568.00 | 37,607,472.00 |
| (I) | Cost of purchases for 49th order | 743,391.00 | 381,789.00 |
| (J) | Total cost of purchases (H) + (I) | 37,894,959.00 | 37,989,261.00 |
| (K) | Number of engines in 1 truck trip | 4,000.00 | 4,000.00 |
| (L) | Number of trips (rounding up) (B)/(K) | 31.00 | 31.00 |
| (M) | Cost for first 30 trips ($1.05 X 20 X distance)** | 69,300.00 | 78,750.00 |
| (N) | Cost for next 1 trip ($1.75 X 20 X distance) | 2,310.00 | 1,312.50 |
| (O) | Total transportation cost | 71,610.00 | 80,062.50 |
| (P) | Total ordering + purchases + transportation cost (E + F + J + O) | 37,984,969.00 | 38,079,473.50 |
| (Q) | 1% inventory carrying cost | 379,849.69 | 380,794.74 |
| Total ownership cost by supplier (P + Q) | 38,364,818.69 | 38,460,268.24 |
*For Supplier 1 – $315 cost price per unit for first 999 units and then $306 cost price per unit for next 1501 units. Vice versa for Supplier 2. Similar calculations for the last (or 49th) order which is 2400 for supplier 1 and 1200 for supplier 2 – this is derived based on the defect rate.
** $1.05 is the cost for per tonne mile (or 2000 pounds per mile). Truck capacity is 40000 pounds. Hence for each trip we have multipled $1.05 by 20 (i.e. 40,000/2000)
