Answer:

Annual Savings will be ;

Ordering Cost = $2,993.88

Holding Cost = $661.78

Explanation:

First Calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

EOQ = √ 2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order / Holding Cost per unit

        = √ ((2 × 783× 12 × $31) / ($11 × 32%))

        = 407

Note : Currently the firm orders at 783 crates per month

Savings in Ordering Cost will be :

Savings = Ordering Cost at Current Quantity - Ordering Cost at EOQ

             = (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs) - (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs)

             = (9396/783 × $31) - (9396/407 × $31)

             = $2,993.88

Savings in Holding Cost will be :

Savings = (Current Quantity - Economic Order Quantity) / 2 × Holding Cost per unit

             = (783 - 407) / 2 × ($11 × 32%)

             = $661.78

Silver Screen Cinemas Inc. and Digi Now Inc. are two companies that own and run movie theaters in malls and other commercial are
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: Option B is correct.

Explanation:

The option A is incorrect because Silver screen cinemas are competing on prices which shows that it will charge lower prices than the supplier who is offering differentiated products and is in similar line of business.

Option B is correct because though both of these companies are in similar type of industry but their customer segments are different from each other. Digi Now Inc. is offering services to upper class whereas the Silver Screen Cinemas Inc. is offering to people who have lower purchasing power.

Option C is incorrect because Digi Now Inc. is offering services to upper class, which means it will charge higher prices for superior customer services. Silver Screen Cinemas Inc. will charge lower prices for lower level of customer services.

Option D is incorrect because one is competing on quality whereas the other is competing on cost. So it is impossible for the one who is competing on cost to offer everything to everyone.
