An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved. For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.
Answer:
Expected number of orders=31.6 orders per year
Explanation:
<em>The expected number of orders would be the Annual demand divided by the economic order quantity(EOQ).</em>
<em>The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes the balance of holding cost and ordering cost. At the EOQ, the holding cost is exactly the same as the ordering cost.</em>
It is calculated as follows:
EOQ = (2× Co D)/Ch)^(1/2)
Co- ordering cost Ch - holding cost, D- annual demand
EOQ = (2× 10 × 100000/2)^(1/2)= 3162.27 units
Number of orders = Annual Demand/EOQ
= 100,000/3,162.27= 31.62 orders
Expected number of orders=31.6 orders per year
<span>I would give excellent customer service to every customer that walks in so they will spread the word that this store has great service, this will bring in more customers that need parts. I would also recommend to the manager to market the store by offering free gifts if they spend 50 dollars or more, or give out some sort of incentives, maybe a punch card, if you get 10 punches, you can have 50% off your next order.</span>
