The Operations Manager for Shadyside Savings & Loan orders cash from her home office for her very popular "Big Bucks" automated teller machine, which only dispenses $100 bills. She estimates that this machine dispenses an average of 12,500 bills per month, and that carrying a bill in inventory costs 10 percent of its value annually. She knows that each order for these bills costs $300 for clerical and armored car delivery costs, and that order lead time is six days. Assuming a 30-day month, if she were to order 6,000 bills at a time, what would be the dollar value of the average inventory level?

Expert Solution

We are given,

Order quantity = 6,000 bills

Average inventory level = order quantity/2

= 6,000 bills /2

= 3,000 bills

Value of one bill = $100

Dollar value of average inventory level

= $100*3,000 bills

= $300,000
