Let's say you are ordering food for your wedding reception, and you sent out 150 invitations. Everyone RSVP'd, with120 people sa

ying they would attend. You know however that not everyone who RSVP'd will actually show up; there are always, always, always some no-shows (at least from the question-writers experience). Thus you expect to need 100 meals. But just to be safe, you plan to order 110 meals, estimating this is a 90% service level (accepting a 10% probability you'll run out). You discuss this with your fiance who is adamant about increasing your service level to 99%.
Required:

The number of meals to order for a 99% service level is 121 meals.

<h3>What is the service level?</h3>

The service level is the percentage of services that can be provided to guests or customers on a given occasion or within a given period.

It can also describe the percentage of meals that a host estimates to serve her guests at a party.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Number of invitations sent out = 150

Number of RSVPs received = 120

Expected number of meals to serve = 100

The safety level of meals to serve = 110

The estimated service level at 110 meals = 90%

The Fiancé's estimated service level to attain = 99%

The number of meals to order for a 99% service level is 121 meals (110/90% x 99%).

Thus, the meals that you should order for a 99% service level is 121 meals.

Suppose a farmer wants to borrow $176,590.00 to buy a tract of land. The BCS bank will make a 22-year loan fully amortized at 6.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

A Farmer

i) Loan principal = $178,033 ($176,590 + $443 + $1,000)

ii) Required stock purchase = $1,000

iii) Annual loan payment (fully amortized at 6.19%) is:

= a. $15,032.59

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Required loan amount = $176,590.00

Period of loan = 22 years

Interest rate = 6.19%

Loan fee = $443.00

Stock purchase = lesser of $1,000 or 3.00% of loan amount

= lesser of $1,000 or $5,297.70 ($176,590 * 3%)

i) Loan principal = $178,033 ($176,590 + $443 + $1,000)

ii) Required stock purchase = $1,000

iii) Annual loan payment (fully amortized at 6.19%) = $15,030 approximately :

(# of periods)  22

I/Y (Interest per year)  6.19

PV (Present Value)  178033

FV (Future Value)  0

PMT = $15,030.02

Sum of all periodic payments $330,660.34

Total Interest $152,627.34

8. Brady Inc. reported FIFO ending inventory of $114,000 and FIFO beginning inventory of $110,000 for 2018. Inventory purchases
atroni [7]

Answer:

$232,825

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculation of cost of goods sold (COGS) under First In First Out (FIFO)

Since we know that;

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchase - COGS of FIFO

Therefore, we can rearrange to make COGS the subject of the formula and substitute the values as follows:

COGS under FIFO = Beginning inventory + Purchase - Ending inventory

                               = $110,000 + $237,500 - $114,000 =

COGS under FIFO = $233,500

Step 2: Calculation of COGS under Last In First Out (LIFO)

COGS under LIFO = COGS under FIFO - Rise in LIFO reserve

                              = $233,500 - $675

COGS under LIFO = $232,825

Therefore, the value of COGS LIFO for Brady Inc. in 2018 is $232,825.

Debora [2.8K]
