We show that the total cost per unit is convex function of time. Some properties have also been discussed based an optimal solution. The results are discussed with the help of numerical examples. Sensitivity analyses with a variety of numerical results showing the effect of model parameters on key performance measures are demonstrated. Mathematica 7 software is used for finding numerical solutions.}, journal = {Journal of Mathematics and Statistics}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
