    4 containers

    Explanation:

    Given

    Average daily demand, d = 750 units

    Average time for waiting during production and materials handling, w = 0.15 days

    Processing time per container, t = 0.1 days

    Container capacity, c = 50 units

    Policy variable, α = 5% = 0.05

    Number of containers required for component B is calculated as follows;

    Total Production/Container Capacity.

    Total Production = d (w + t) (1 + α)

    Total Production = 750 * (0.15 + 0.1) * (1 + 0.05)

    Total Production = 196.875

    Number of containers = 196.875/50

    Number of containers = 3.9375

    Number of containers = 4 - - - approximated

    Answer: 4

    Explanation:

    daily demand (d) = 750 unjts

    Policy variable (¢) = 5/100 = 0.05

    Waiting time (w) = 0.15 days

    Container capacity (c) = 50 units

    Processing time per container (p) = 0.1 days

    k = number of containers

    Using the formula:

    k = [d (w + p) (1 + ¢) ] : c

    k = [750 (0.15 + 0.1) * (1 + 0.05) ] : 50

    k = [750 (0.25) * (1.05) ] : 50

    k = 196.875 : 50

    k = 3.9375 = approximately 4 containers
