In a fixed-order-quantity system, when demand is uncertain, using economic order quantity (EOQ) based only on the average demand

will result in a low probability of a stockout. True or False?

Answer:

False

Explanation:

If the demand is uncertain, if you use average demand to calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ), you will have a high probability of a stock-out occurring.  

EOQ = √(2DS / H)

where:

D = annual demand in units

S = order cost per purchase order

H = holding cost per unit, per year

If D is uncertain, then the whole calculus will either be understated or overstated.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Payout ratio =1- 12.96%*45%*9/1.4 = 0.6252 or 62.52%

Explanation:

WACC = Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity + Weight of Debt * (1-Tax rate) * Cost of Debt

16% = 45%* Cost of Equity + 55%*(1-40%)*9%

16%-55%*(1-40%)*9% = 45%*Cost of Equity

Cost of Equity = 28.9556%

Current price of Stock = D1/(Cost of Equity - Growth)

25 = 4/(28.9556%-Growth)

Growth = 28.9556%-4/25 = 12.96%

ROE = Net income/Equity = 1.4/(45%*9)

Growth rate = (1- Payout ratio)*ROE

12.96% = (1-Payout ratio)*  1.4/(45%*9)

Payout ratio =1- 12.96%*45%*9/1.4 = 0.6252 or 62.52%

A liquid company produces hand sanitizer which has demand of 300,000 units per year.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

EOQ =   =  15,491.93 units

Optimal order interval   18.8 days   (19.36  orders in year)

Total cost = $150,774.60

Explanation:

<em>The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.</em>

It is computed using he formulae below

EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch

<em>Co- ordering cost per order- 20, </em>

<em>Ch -Holding cost per unit per annum- 10%× $0.5=  0.05</em>

<em>Annual demand: D- 300,000</em>

EOQ = √(2× 20 * 2,580)/(10%× 0.5)

       =  15,491.93 units

Assuming 365 days, the optimal order interval in dates

Number of orders per year

= annual demand/EOQ

= 300,000/ 15,491.93

= 19.36 times

<u><em>in days:</em></u>

= EOQ/300,000 × 365 days

=   (15,491.93/ 300,000) × 365 days

= 18.8 days

Total annual cost =

<em>Total cost Purchase cost + Carrying cost + ordering cost </em>

                                                                                 $

Purchase cost = $0.5 × 300,000 =              150,000

Carrying cost = (15,491.93/2) * 10%*0.5 =       387.29

Ordering cost = (300,000/15,491.93 ) × 20 = <u>387.29</u>

Total cost                                                      1<u>50,774.60</u><u> </u>

What is an option in stocks
omeli [17]

A contract known as an option grants the buyer the right, but not the duty, to purchase or sell an underlying asset (such as a stock or index) at a given price on or before a particular date (listed options are all for 100 shares of the particular underlying asset).

<h3>What is an option? Explain.</h3>

An option is a contract that grants the buyer the right, but not the responsibility, to buy the underlying asset (in the case of a call) or sell it (in the case of a put) at a certain price on or before a specific date.

Options are used by people for revenue, speculation, and risk hedging.

Because they draw their value from an underlying asset, options are classified as derivatives.

A stock option contract normally entails 100 shares of the underlying stock, but other underlying assets, such as bonds, currencies, or commodities, are also acceptable.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Amount of overhead debited to Work in Process Inventory is $364,000

Explanation:

Direct labor cost = Total labor cost - Indirect labor cost

Direct labor cost = $720,000 - $200,000 = $520,000

Overhead debited to Work in Process Inventory= 70% * Direct labor cost

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The reliability of the server is the key technical factor to be considered. In <em>thin client </em>architectures, the data processing is transferred on to the server. In these scenarios, the operating of the remote satellite office would downfall if something bad happened with the server.

Similarly, if the <em>response time</em> is critical (real-time processing is essential for business operating), the company should consider implementing a thick client, which is faster and more reliable. However, thick clients are almost always more expensive to implement.
