Optimal ordering and pricing policy for demand functions that are separable into price and inventory age

We formulate and analyze two models for determining the optimal pricing, order quantity and replenishment period for items whose demand function is separable into components of price and inventory age. The first model assumes a multiplicative demand function. We provide conditions, which are satisfied by most common price-dependent demand functions, to reduce the three-variable profit maximization problem into a single-variable problem, which...
