Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Kanban container size = 73

Number of kanbans needed = 5

Explanation:

Kanban container size (Q):

Q = SQRT [(2 x D x S) / H x (1 - d/p)]

where,

D = Annual demand

S = Setup cost

H = Holding cost

d = Daily usage

p = Daily production

Putting the given values in the above formula,

CONTAINER SIZE = SQRT ((2 * ANNUAL DEMAND * SETUP COST) / (HOLDING COST * (1 - (DAILY USAGE / DAILY PRODUCTION))))

Q = SQRT [(2 x 4,000 x $30) / $125 x (1 - 16/25)]

Kanbans container size = 73 units (Rounding off to the nearest whole number)

NUMBER OF KANBANS = DEMAND DURING LEAD TIME + SAFETY STOCK / SIZE OF CONTAINER

K = ((16 * 16) + (4 * 25) / 73 = 5

Prepare a classified balance sheet. Assume that $13,600 of the note payable will be paid in 2023.The following items are taken f

Aliun [14]

Answer:

A) See attached file for Balance Sheet

B) Current ratio = 1.26

C) Debt to Asset ratio = 18%

The Current ratio tells us that the company has 1.26 dollars of current assets to cover 1 dollar of current debt. That is a good thing, but to know if it´s enough covers, further information is needed. Others ratios can help to complete the picture as for example, quick ratio, assets turn over, inventory turn over, receivables turn over, etc. The debt to assets ratio. Tells us that the company owes 18% of its assets. The rest belongs to the stockholders. Again, it´s a good thing, but further information can help us to know if the company can invest in new projects, financing it with debt in a profitable way, for example, if Return on Assets is higher than debt rate.

Explanation:

B) Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current ratio = 52,140 / 41,400

Current ratio = 1.26

C)Debt to Asset ratio = (Total Liabilities / Total Assets)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = (121,400 / 691,400)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = 18%

The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year, by relating current assets with current liabilities (liquidity ratio). The debt to total assets ratio shows the percentage of a company's total assets that were financed by creditors (financial ratio).

Over a long period of time Sears has slipped from being America's largest retailer to struggling for survival in recent years. W

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

I think Sears need to stop diversifying its product too much and focus on improving internal human resources.

Explanation:

The largest expense that Sears made occurred during their effort to add more female customers to shop at their place.

Sears was known for its DieHard, Craftsman and Kenmore brands that attract mostly male customers to their stores. They started “The Softer Side of Sears” which focused on adding more products for female customers.

But, in the process of doing so, Sears neglected their already successful male products department with a lot of employees who sacrifice a lot of their time and effort into making Sears as big as it is.

In order to restore to its former glory, Sears need to stop focusing on new market with a lot of strong competitors and focused on improving skill set of employees in their successful department. They can do this by investing in their education, increasing the budget for their research and development, etc.
