  1. In machine shop, pins of 15 mm diameter are produced at a rate of 1000 per month and the same is consumed at a rate of 500 per month. The production and consumption continue simultaneously till the maximum inventory is reached. Then inventory is allowed to reduce to zero due to consumption. The lot size of production is 1000. If backlog is not allowed, the maximum inventory level is
    1. 400
    2. 500
    3. 600
    4. 700
Correct Option: B


Qmax = tp (P - C) =
Q
(P - C)
P

⇒ Q1 -
C
P

Qmax = 10001 -
500
1000

⇒ 1000
1
= 500
2

So the maximum inventory level is 500
