Abstract :
We study the paper of Ardalan that published in IIE Transactions for inventory model dealing a temporarily price deduction during the sale period. Many papers had quoted this paper in their reference. Several papers extended Ardalan´s model to more realistic systems. However, some questionable results in this paper had not been discussed and then revised. We will point out those questionable results and then provide improved solution.
