charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$71.5

Explanation:

Inventory forecast is a way of predicting the volume of inventory required to fulfill future orders based on the existing production capacity and other plans relating to production

equation for forecasting inventory = $22 + 0.125 sales

Current sales = $300 million

Annual sales growth rate =32%

sales for next year = 300 + (300*32%)

300 + 96= $396 million

Applying the equation

Inventory = $22 + (0.125*396)

$22 + $49.5 = $71.5 million

The College of Business is deciding between two photocopier options. The first is to lease a high-end machine for $8,400/year. T
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The first is to lease a high-end machine for $8,400/year.The only additional costs are the cost of paper, which is $0.01/sheet.

The other option is to purchase a machine. The cost is $5,000 and the per sheet cost increases (toner, maintenance) to $0.02.

First, we need to determine the total cost formula for each option:

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01x

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02x

A) Volume= 270,000

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01*270,000= $11,100

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02*270,000= $10,400

Option 2 is the cheapest.

B) Volume= 240,000

Option 1:

Total cost= 8,400 + 0.01*240,000= $10,800

Option 2:

Total cost= 5,000 + 0.02*240,000= $9,800

Option 2 is the cheapest.

C) To determine the indifference point, we need to isolate X:

8,400 + 0.01x= 5,000 + 0.02x

3,400= 0.01x

340,000=x

The indifference point is 340,000 paper sheets.
