We formulate a model for determining the optimal pricing, order quantity and replenishment period for perishable items with price-dependent and time-dependent demand. The items have a fixed shelf-life, and the demand rate decreases linearly in the selling price and polynomially over the time...

This work presents an extension of the classical EOQ model for items with a fixed shelf life and a declining demand rate due to a reduction in the quality of the item in the course of its shelf-life. The demand rate, reflecting consumer preference for fresh items, is a polynomial function of the...
