However, we have assumed the gradient of the selling prie line is known for the first part and for the other the slope is unknown. Considering onstant deterioration rate the average profit funtion is developed. Solutions are made through analytial method. Graphial interpretations, numerial examples with sensitivity analysis have also been made to illustrate the model. AMS Mathematis Subjet Classifiation (): 9B5 Keywords: Inventory, paraboli demand funtion, time varying selling prie, deterioration. Introdution he lassial EOQ model was developed by assuming the demand rate as onstant. But in pratie, it does not onvey the reality. he atual fat is, for the ase of deaying items like fruits, vegetables et. the demand rate is growing and it reahes to a pik time then it began to derease within a stipulated period. he traditional onept on demand rate was first modified by Silver and Meal [8]. hen Resh et al. [4] and Donaldson [6] studied with linear trend demand in their models. Ghare and Shrader [7] initially proposed the model with exponentially deaying inventory. Subsequently, Covert and Phillip [5] and adikamalla [] developed an EOQ model with Weibull and Gamma distribution respetively. After that, a numerous researh papers were developed by several researhers onsidering the demand rate as time varying ontinuous funtion. Lot-size model with shortages and 3

An EOQ Model with Paraboli Demand Rate and ime Varying Selling Prie flutuating demand under inflation was developed by Yang et al []. Reently, Bose et al [], Giri et al. [9], Jamal et al. [], Ghosh and Chaudhuri [8] developed inventory models with time dependent deterioration rate. Moreover, Aggoun et al. [] was analyzed a stohasti proess with random harateristi over varying deterioration. Chang and Dye [4], Mehta and Saha [3], Roy [7] and Boukhel et al. [3] are some others researhers who onsidered the inventory-level dependent or prie dependent demand as a whole. Very reent, an eonomi prodution lot size (EPLS) model with random prie sensitive demand was developed by Roy et al. [5] and that with stok-prie sensitive demand and deterioration was explained by Roy and Chaudhuri [6]. Researhers like Goswami and Choudhuri [], Giri et al. [] have developed an inventory model onsidering time varying demand, shortages, and deterioration. Skouri et al. [9] have analyzed a model with weibull deterioration rate, partial baklogging and ramp type demand rate. In our paper, we have assumed the deterioration rate as onstant when the demand rate follows a paraboli path within a speifi season. However in a super market we observe that the sellers are usually unwilling to give a rebate / prie disount over an item for their ustomers to have more and more profit. Observation tells that, up to optimum demand the selling prie behaves like dereasing funtion and after that it beomes inreasing funtion in time with unknown gradient. Sine, till date no papers were published along this diretion, so onsidering above assumptions we have developed a model as well. Solution is made analytially, graphial interpretations; numerial examples with sensitivity analysis are done to illustrate the model. able- Major harateristis of inventory models on seleted areas Author(s) and publiation year Bose et. al.

After time t the demand rate began to derease up to time. Also, the selling prie is a known time linear dereasing funtion within [, t ] and for the period [ t,] it began to inrease with unknown slope of linear time prie line. he governing differential equation of the inventory funtion is given by dq + θ q = D() t for < t dt () Subjet to the onditions q() = Q for < t t () and q ( ) = fo r t t (3) w, solving () using () and (3) we get θ t 3 qt ( ) = Qe at /3 bt / dt+ θ t ( d/ + bt/ 6 at /) < t b a θ and Q = d + + 6d + 4b 3a 3 (Assuming θ << ) w, using (5), the inventory holding ost per yle is given by HC = h q() t d t θ t t θ t = h Qe ( at + 3bt+ 6d) + ( 6d + bt at ) dt 6 3 θ = h d + b a + d + b a ( 6 4 5 ) ( 5 ) (4) (5) (6) 35

An EOQ Model with Paraboli Demand Rate and ime Varying Selling Prie 4. Comments on sensitivity analysis From the above able-3, we see that, the profit funtion is highly sensitive with the hange from -5% to +5% of the parameters of demand urve (a, b,d ) and the starting selling prie s relative to the other parameters. he objetive funtion is moderately sensitive whenever the setup ost and purhasing ost p are being hanged from -5% to +5%. However, from able-4, the holding ost h, deterioration rate θ and its orresponding ost d, selling prie line gradient λ and initial pik time selling prie s are negligible sensitive parameters over the profit funtion itself. hroughout the whole able-3 we see when the initial selling prie s is inreased to 5%, then the optimum profit is $ 9.74 with optimum yle time 6.75 weeks and the optimum order quantity is 4.6548 units. he other findings is that, after the pik time demand, the inrease of selling prie line gradient auses the inrease of the average profit funtion. From able-3 we see the highest gradient is 3. orresponds maximum average profit. 5. Conlusion and sope of future work We have developed our model with paraboli/ time quadrati demand rate under the time varying linear selling prie funtion and onstant deterioration. From past experiene we usually know the gradient of the inreasing selling prie funtion and after a pik time we usually ould not predit the gradient of the selling prie line. his happens due to the lak of prior knowledge and supply-onsumption of ommodities as well. Numerial examples shows before pik selling prie line, the slow derement of selling prie line gradient auses the high average profit in the model whih is a very ommon phenomenon in reality. For every seasonal produt, the market selling prie remains high at the beginning and at the end of the season, but, the purhasing ost remains onstant in many ases as the seller purhase huge goods from supplier for that partiular season. In our study we have shown the time dependent selling prie model is more profitable than onstant selling prie model. Finally, using ubi or higher powers of time in demand rate we may develop various inventory models. In future we shall develop several models inorporating various onsiderations like fuzzy, fuzzy stohasti, stohasti variable in the demand urve inluding deterioration and/or shortage in the model.
