Net requirements for component J are as follows: 60 units in week 2, 40 units in week 3, and 60 units in week 5. If a fixed-period, two-period lot-sizing method is used, what will be the quantity of the first planned receipt?
a. 60 units.
b. 120 units.
c. 180 units.
d. cannot be determined.
e. none of the choices.

e. none of the choices.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that  none of the choices are correct because this method focuses on obtaining an order quantity by fixing the quantity for a certain period of time, and calculating the total quantity of Net Requirements within the period. Therefore since the first week and week 4 are missing then none of these are correct, and since the information is not provided by choice answer d. is wrong too.
