Hi Dear Tutor, in this question
Brownies—————————Brownies—————–Muffins———————cupcakes
Batch size—————————-40———————–30—————————–20
Min demand————————30————————20——————————10
Max demand———————–140————————90—————————-100I saw previous posts you calculated 140/40=4,90/30=3,100/20=5
Minimum demand is based on long-term contract why you not considered minimum demand in calculating number of batch units such as (140+30)/40,(90+20)/30,(100+10)/20?
February 20, 2021 at 2:39 pm #611097I cannot understand why they would possible want to do what you are suggesting.
Any company would always want to produce to meet maximum demand if they are able to. Why on earth would then want to produce less?
February 20, 2021 at 3:48 pm #611099Actually it says daily minimum daily demand is required for a long-term contract with a local cafe and must be met.that is why it is contract it must be met first
February 20, 2021 at 4:24 pm #611105Yes, I know it says that.
The maximum demand means exactly that, and will include the amount to the local cafe.
February 20, 2021 at 6:02 pm #611112You mean inside 140 90 and 100 minimum demand is also included?
February 21, 2021 at 8:13 am #611150Yes. The question does not say they are extra and so they must include the contract demand.
