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.

A distributor of large appliances needs to determine the order quantities and reorder points for the various products it carries
laiz [17]

Answer:

a) 32 refrigerators

b) 28.39 approximately 29 refrigerators

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of order, S = $100

H = 20% of 500 = 100

Cost of refrigerator = $500

Annual demand, D = 500

S.d = 10

Lead time, L = 7 days.

a) To find the economic order quantity, Q_opt, let's use the formula:

Q_opt = \sqrt{\frac{2*D*S}{H}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2*500*100}{100}} = 32

The economic order quantity is 32 refrigerators.

b) The reorder point, R, is calculated as:

R = (d' * L) + ( z * s.d)

Where d' is daily demand which is calculated by dividing annual demand by 365 days.

d' = 500/365 = 1.37

At 97% service probability.

Using the excel function, NORMSINV(0.97) = 1.88.

Therefore z = 1.88

Solving for R, we have:

R = (1.37 * 7) + (1.88 * 10)

= 28.39

≈ 29

If the distributor wants a 97% service probability, the reorder point, R, should be 29 refrigerators

belka [17]

Answer: a) J.D. Power and Associates

Suppose that each 0.1-percentage-point increase in the equilibrium interest rate induces a $3 billion decrease in real planned i
kirill115 [55]

Answer and Explanation:

(1) Decrease in investment = Decrease in money supply / Investment multiplier

= $60 billion / 5 = $12 billion

Real planned investment will decrease by $12 billion

The Federal Reserve decreased money supply by 60 billion and we wish to determine by how much this would affect real planned investment. We have therefore applied the investment multiplier to determine decrease in real planned investment. This is based on Keynes' theory of investment multiplier
