Explain the concepts of unitization and cube utilization. how are they related to benefit reducing transportation costs?

Business
1 answer:
Sliva [168]2 years ago
6 0

Cube utilization is the calculation which determines the total space used in storage.

Cube utilization is expressed as a percentage between 0% - poor and 100% - excellent, accordingly. So if you have filled every available spot in your warehouse with product, then you have 100 percent warehouse cube utilization.

Cube utilization is related to benefit reducing transportation costs, as effective cube utilization significantly lowers freight and supply chain costs. Cubing and weighing equipment helps companies make better use of their warehouse space, cut shipping costs and reduce errors.

Hence, in order to improve cube utilization, products should be shipped in bulk form to avoid packaging.

Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. A government policy aimed at reducing smoking
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(B) 40%

Explanation:

↓Q / ΔPrice = Price-elasicity

The price elasticity is the relationship between a change in price with the quantity demanded of a certain good assuming, other factor remains constant.

ΔPrice  = (P0 - P1)/((P0 + P1)/2) = (2 - 6)/((2+6)/2) = 4/4 = 1

We know that price elasticity is 0.4

Now we can solve for the change in the quantity demanded:

↓Q/ 1 = 0.4

↓Q = 0.4 x 1 = 0.40 = 40%

Explanation:

Given that

Annual payments = $31,000

Discount rate = 12%

Time period = 11 years

The computation of the present value is shown below:

= Annual payments  × PVIFA factor for 11 years at 12%

= $31,000 × 5.9377

= $184,068.70

Simply we multiplied the annual payments with the PVIFA factor so that the present value could arrive

Refer to the PVIFA table

Based on the weight of the consumer price index (CPI), the price of rental housing increases by 15% and that of owned housing by
Levart [38]

Answer:

D) all other factors being constant, it is likely the CPI would rise during the year in question.

Explanation:

The CPI measures the price of a basket of goods and that basket includes both housing expenses and gasoline, but housing expenses are "heavier" than gasoline (their relative weight on the CPI is much higher) because they represent a much larger portion of a household's income. It is common for a family to pay $1,000 (or much more) per month on rent or a mortgage, while how many people actually spend over $1,000 per month on gas?

Pup tents use 4 direct labor hours (DLH) per unit and Pop-up tents use 3 direct labor hours per unit. Compute the overhead cost
lora16 [44]

a) The computation of the single plantwide predetermined overhead rate for Tent Master is $6 per DLH ($252,000/42,000).

b) The computation of the overhead cost per unit for Pup and Pop-up Tents for Tent Master is computed as follows:

                               Pup Tents     Pop-up Tents

Overhead cost     $24 ($6 x 4)    $18 ($6 x 3)

c) The computation of the product cost per unit for Pup and Pop-up Tents is as follows:

Per Unit      Selling     Direct     Direct  Overhead     Product

                    Price   Materials   Labor    per unit    Cost / Unit

Pup tent       $ 78         $ 20      $ 45        $24             $89

Pop-up tent    73             25         30         $18             $73

d) The computation of the gross profit per unit (selling price per unit minus the product cost per unit) of Pup and Pop-up Tents is as follows:

Per Unit      Selling     Direct    Direct  Overhead   Product    Gross Profit

                    Price   Materials  Labor    per unit   Cost / Unit  (Loss) per unit

Pup tent      $ 78       $ 20      $ 45         $24             $89     ($11) ($78 - $89)

Pop-up tent   73          25          30          $18             $73       $0 ($73 - $73)

<h3>What does a product cost?</h3>

The determination of the product cost includes the costs of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead.  The overhead cost is allocated to each unit based on a predetermined overhead rate (budgeted overheads/budgeted usage) or using an activity-based costing technique.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Budgeted overhead costs = $252,000

Budgeted direct labor hours = 42,000

<h3>Question Completion:</h3>

Tent Master produces Pup tents and Pop-up tents. The company budgets $252,000 of overhead cost and 42,000 direct labor hours. Additional information follows:

Per Unit      Selling Price  Direct Materials  Direct Labor  DL Hours

Pup tent          $ 78                   $ 20                   $ 45            4

Pop-up tent       73                       25                      30            3

<h3>Required: </h3>

1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate assuming the company allocates overhead costs based on 42,000 direct labor hours.

2. Pup tents use 4 direct labor hours (DLH) per unit and Pop-up tents use 3 direct labor hours per unit. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product.

3. Compute the product cost per unit for each product.

4. For each product, compute the gross profit per unit (selling price per unit minus the product cost per unit).

dangina [55]

Answer:

a global standardization.

Global standardization can be defined as the ability of an organization to use standard marketing techniques across the world with respect to the cultural factors.

Also, local responsiveness can be defined as the degree of requirements and conditions to which a manufacturing firm should significantly adjust their products and methods of production in a particular country to.

A firm that is facing both strong cost pressures and strong pressures for local responsiveness should follow a global standardization strategy.

Hence, when a firm follows the global standardization strategy, the quality of its goods and services is able to meet the needs of customers (people) all over the world because of the streamlining of its production processes, products design, and simplified supply chain management.
