B) $19,925
C) $5,150
D) $10,535

Question 14

Explain what differentiates MRP from a reorder point system.

Question 15

Which of the following is correct about dependent demands?

B) The plans for dependent demands are created using the concept of exploding
C) It is directly managed based on demand forecasts
D) Dependent demands are managed using an aggregate form of plan

Question 16

In the context of a MRP record, describe what a scheduled receipt is.

Question 17

Using the table below, calculate the holding inventory costs for all four periods using both average inventory and end inventory values.The holding cost per period per unit is $200.The sequence of cost is (average inventory, end inventory).

A) ($63,000, $78,500)
B) ($57,400, $48,000)
C) ($23,000, $28,000)
D) ($63,000, $28,000)

Question 18

Fill out the following MRP record.The lot size is 60 units and the units on hand are 100 units.The lead time between order placement and receipt is 1 periods.How would the MRP record change once the period 1 passed and it is period 2 currently? Provide a MRP record starting on period 2.

Question 19

A) components, end items
B) minor assemblies, raw materials
C) independent demand items, dependent demand items
D) independent demand items, end items

Question 20

MRP is a computer-driven information system that translates end-item demand into raw materials, component parts, and subassemblies requirements.It works backward from the due date using _________, and other production information's.Which of the following information does not fit in the previous sentence?

A) lead times
B) item cost
C) bills of materials (BOM)
D) lot sizes

Question 21

The lot size is 60 units and the units on hand are 0 units.What is the total cost when using an average inventory value? The holding cost is $3 per unit per period and the ordering cost is $500 per order.No lead time exists.
