Answer:
Will increase to $460,000
Explanation:
Palmer Inc. currently produces 110,000 units at the rate of $440,000
Next year they are expected to produce 115,000 units
Since the cost is variable, the total cost can be calculated as
(440,000/110,000) × 115,000
= 4×115,000
= $460,000
Hence the total cost is $460,000
Option D. Contact the retailer who sold the product.
Answer:6 kanban containers are needed
Explanation: Using the formula
Number of kanban containers =( dL + S)/C
Where
Average demand, d = 200
Lead time, L = 2 days
Safety stock is 1 day, S = 200 units
Quantity in containers, C = 100
Number of kanban containers = dL + S/C
= (200 x 2 + 200)/ 100 =400+200/100
= 600/100 = 6
Therefore 6 kanban containers are needed
<span>Breached.
Explanation: A contract is a legally binding agreement between two parties. Once an agreement is signed between two parties, both parties are subject to terms and conditions written in the agreement.
As in the above example, Flora agrees to sell harvesters grocery a minimum quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables every week for three months, that means Flora is subject to the agreement that she will sell that no matter what the future market price will be, whether it increases or decreases. As Flora decides not to deliver the agreed order, it is a violation of terms and conditions of the agreement/contract. So the contract is breached.</span>
