Central Perk orders their organic coffee filters from a South American supplier that mails them as inexpensively (hence, as slow

ly) as possible. Central Perk uses 80 filters a day with a standard deviation of 5 filters per day. It would be disastrous if they ran out of these filters, years ago customers caught them using paper towels from the men's room and business suffered. They have set their service level at 99% in hopes of avoiding a similar situation. It takes a fortnight to receive a shipment and the standard deviation of the shipping time is two days. What is safety stock they need to carry to meet the 99% service level?

Answer:

1495 filters are considered as safety stock.

Explanation:

d = 80 filters, std devd= 5, L = 14 days, std dev L= 2 days

Std dev dL = Sq rt ( Lσ d2 + d 2σ L2  ) = sq rt ( 350 + 25600) = 161 filter

z= 2.33 at 99% SL

safety stock = 2.33 X 161 = 375 filter

Reorder point = dL + Safety stock = 80 X 14 + 375 = 1495 filters

Assume a $170,000 investment and the following cash flows for two products: Year Product X Product Y 1 $ 40,000 $ 60,000 2 60,00
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

a. Product X = 3.50 years

   Product Y = 3.25 years

b. Product Y

Explanation:

The cash flows for the two products as well as the balance at the end of each year is given as follows:

Initial\ balance = -170,000\\\\\begin{array}{ccccc}Year&Product\ X&Product\ Y& Balance\ X& Balance\ Y\\1&40,000&60,000&-130,000&-110,000\\2&60,000&70,000&-70,000&-40,000\\3&50,000&30,000&-20,000&-10,000\\4&40,000&40,000&20,000&20,000\end{array}

For both products, the payback period is reached between the third and fourth year.

Product X:

Payback = 3+\frac{20,000}{40,000} = 3.50\ years

Product Y:

Payback = 3+\frac{10,000}{40,000} = 3.25\ years

Under the payback method, the alternative that presents the shortest payback period should be selected. Therefore, Product Y should be selected.
