Paper Title
Inventory Model for Deteriorating Item with Advertising and Quantity Discount Policies
Abstract
In present article an inventory model is developed for deteriorating item. In which the deterioration rate is
constant and the demand function is treated as linear function of advertising frequency and the selling price. The concept of
quantity discounts is also incorporated to enhance the demand. The cost for holding the inventory is considered as a linear
function of time and purchase cost. The optimal values of total cost function and its decision variable like selling price, total
cycle length and advertising frequency are calculated. The numerical verification and the convexity of model is also
presented in this paper. The calculation part is carried out with the help of mathematical software Mathematica11.
