Suppose that the manager of a company has estimated the probability of a super-event sometime during the next five years that wi

ll disrupt all suppliers as 5%, and the probability of a unique-event that would disrupt one of them sometime during the next five years to be 10%. Supplier management costs during this period are $30,000 per supplier. The financial cost incurred if all suppliers are disrupted at the same time is estimated to be $2,000,000. Assume that up to five nearly identical suppliers are available. How many suppliers should the manager use?

Based on the financial cost incurred if supply is disrupted and the probability that this happens, the number of suppliers the manager should use is Two (2) suppliers.

<h3>How many suppliers should be used?</h3>

If 3 suppliers are used, the probability of disruption would be:

= Probability of super event + (1 - Probability of super event) x Probability of unique event^ number of suppliers

= 5% + (1 - 5%) x 10%³

= 0.145

The payoff would be:

= 2 million x 0.145 + 30,000

= $191,900

With two suppliers:
= 2 million x (5% + (1 - 5%) x 10%²) + 30,000

= $169,000

With one supplier :

= 2 million x (5% + (1 - 5%) x 10%) + 30,000

= $320,000

The lowest cost is with 2 suppliers so this should be chosen.

NOTE: Your question isn't clear, Johnson. Would you mind checking it and writing it in a way you can be better helped?

Meanwhile, I hope these explanation below helps.

Answer and Explanation:

Two goods are said to be complementary goods if an increase in the price of a particular one leads to a commensurate decrease in the demand that buyers placed for the other one.

A good is said to be a normal good if the reason for an increase in demand is due to an increase in the income of the buyers.

A good is said to be an inferior good if there is a decrease in demand even though the buyers have experienced increase in their income.

babymother [125]

The correct answer is $380 per unit.

The lower-of-cost-or market rule requires that you report the lower value of either the purchase price or current market price of items in inventory. In this case the current market price is lower, so it should be used when calculating the value of inventory.
