Josh, Inc. is faced with the choice of either producing a newly designed product, XX-30, to stock in anticipation of demand or to customer order. The demand for the product is expected to be 5,000 units per week. Josh decided to produce XX-30 in lots of 500 units. The cost of holding the average unit in inventory per year is $50 times the average inventory level. If Josh, Inc. produces to order, it must discount its unit price on all sales $5 for each week that the first customer to order has to wait before the product is delivered. Should Josh, Inc. produce to stock or to order?

    1. Make to stock

    Average inventory = Order quantity/2 = 500/2 = 250

    Inventory holding cost = average inventory multiplied by unit holding rate = 250 * 5 = 1250

    2. Make to order

    Discount = 5000*5 = 25000

    It is better to stock and produce because costs are low
