            Abstract : 
In this paper, we want to investigate the retailer´s optimal replenishment policy with defective items under cash discount and two levels of trade credit policy. Mathematical models have been derived for determining the retailer´s optimal inventory cycle time so that the annual total profit is maximized. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the theorem and obtain some managerial phenomena.
