Answer:
Annual demand (U) = 90.000 bags
Cost of each bag = $1.50
Inventory carrying cost per unit(C) = $1.50 × 20% = 0 30
Ordering cost per unit (O) = $15
Part A)
EOQ = 3,000
Part B)
Maximum inventory = EOQ + Safety inventory on hand
Maximum inventory = 3000 + 1000
Maximum inventory = 4.000
Part C)
Average inventory = Maximum inventory + Minimum or Safety /2
Average inventory = 4,000 + 1,000 / 2
Average inventory =2,500
Part D)
How often company order = Annual demand / EOQ
How often company order = 90,000 / 3.000
How often company order = 30
Answer:
option (c) $600
Explanation:
Given:
Tax = $4 per unit
Initial equilibrium quantity = 2,000 units
Final equilibrium quantity = 1,700 units
Decrease in consumer surplus = $3,000
Decrease in consumer surplus = $4,400
Now,
Deadweight Loss is calculated using the formula:
Deadweight loss
= × Tax × (Original equilibrium quantity - New equilibrium quantity)
on substituting the respective values, we get
Deadweight loss = × 4 × (2,000 - 1,700)
or
Deadweight loss = 2 × (3) = $600
Hence,
the correct answer is option (c) $600
