    His maximum inventory level would be 180 units

    Explanation:

    According to the given data we have the following:

    daily demand rate, d=1,600/200=8 units;

    daily production rate p=80 units;

    C0=25 dollar

    Cc=2 dollar

    Therefore, Qopt=√2*25*1,600 / (2 (1-8/80))

    Qopt=210.82

    But here Rolf decide to produce 200 units each time he started production, hence fix Q=200

    Therefore, Maximum inventory level=200 * (1-8/80) = 200*0.9

    Maximum inventory level=180 units

    His maximum inventory level would be 180 units
