What is the dollar value of the work-in-process? b. If the work-in-process could be reduced to 5 weeks and the annual cost of carrying inventory was 20% of the WIP inventory value, what would be the annual savings?

solve i, ii and iii please. Suppose the demand of a product produced by a production firm is 8000 per year (1 year = 312 days) and it occurs at a constant rate. The production rate of the product per year is 10000. The set up cost of setting a machine for the production of the product is 600 Taka. The selling price per unit of the product is 1000 Taka.
