Hence, the correct option is (A).

Setup cost : It is the costs incurred to configure a machine for a production run. This cost is considered a fixed cost of the associated batch, so its cost is spread over the number of units produced. Setup costs include the following : 1. Labor to position tools and materials next

to the machine 2. Labor to configure the machine 3. Scrap cost of test units run on the machine The real cost of a setup is the time wasted while a machine is not operational, since this can represent lost income (if there is a backlog of work). Consequently, there is usually an emphasis on shortening equipment setup times in order to reduce setup costs. Hence, the correct option is (D).

Key Point Cost of processing the work piece comes under the production cost.

Periodic reordering system (PRS) does not provide basis for adjustment to account to variation in demand. Hence, the correct option is (C).

Inventory planning is the process of determining the optimal quantity and timing of inventory for the purpose of aligning it with sales and production capacity.

It has direct impact a company's cash flow and profit margins especially for smaller businesses that rely upon a quick turnover of goods or materials. Hence, the correct option is (B).

22500 562.5 500 23562.5 = Rs.23563 Since total cost of inventory per year is minimum for lot size of 500 units. So optimum lot size is 500 units. Hence, the correct option is (C).

Therefore optimum stock level is 4 units .

Hence, the correct option is (B). : Method 2 : Given : Cost price per unit Rs.70 Selling price per unit Rs.90

Profit per unit Rs.20

Salvage value (if unsold) Rs.50

Loss per unit (if unsold) Rs.20

In first column the number of stock is 2 and demand is also 2, again profit per units is Rs. 20, so profit for 2 units is 40. Again second element of 1st column is 20, because stock level is 3 and demand is 2, which given 40 – 20 = Rs. 20.
