A deterministic EOQ model with delays in payments and price-discount offers

It is the purpose of this paper to model the retailer’s profit-maximizing strategy when confronted with supplier’s trade offer of credit and price-discount on the purchase of merchandise. Generally, retailers have to face many types of demands for different kinds of goods. In real situation, retailers have to correlate between the selling price and supplier’s trade offer, keeping in mind profit-maximization strategy. In the proposed model, all increasing deterministic demands are discussed analytically, numerically and graphically in the environment of permissible delay in payment and discount offer to the retailer.
