Answer:

(a):Annual demand = 10 packages per day*260 days per year = 2600 packages per year.

H = $1 and S = $10.

Thus Order quantity = (2*2600*10/1)^0.5 = 228 packages

(b): Total annual inventory control cost = Q/2*H + D/Q*S

= 228/2*1 + 2600/228*10

= 114 + 114.03

= 228.03

(c): Yes both annual ordering costs and holding costs are equal at $114.

(d): In case of order quantity of 100 packages the cost will be = 100/2*1 + 2600/100*10

= 50 + 260

= 310.

Thus the cost figure of $310 in case of 100 packages is more than the cost of $228.03 when 228 packages are ordered. Hence I will recommend that the office manager use the optimal order quantity instead of 100 packages.

Answer:

Financial advantage of purchasing Cisco from outside vendor = $9,440

Explanation:

7,900 units produced

variable costs allocated to Cisco units (avoidable):

  • direct materials $4.58 per unit
  • direct labor $4.51 per unit
  • indirect labor $0.45 per unit
  • utilities $0.41 per unit
  • total $9.95 x 7,900 units = $78,650

fixed manufacturing costs allocated to Cisco:

  • depreciation $860
  • property taxes $320
  • Insurance $610
  • total $1,790

an outside supplier can provide Cisco for $63,200 plus:

  • freight and inspection costs $0.60 per unit x $7,900 = $4,740
  • total receiving costs $1,270
  • total $6,010

                             Incremental Analysis

                                         Produce       Purchase       Difference

                                          Cisco           Cisco             amount

Variable production        $78,650                              $78,650

costs

Purchase price                                       $63,200       ($63,200)

Additional expenses                              $6,010           ($6,010)

Financial advantage of purchasing Cisco                   $9,440

Allocated fixed costs are not included in this analysis since they cannot be avoided by either action, producing or purchasing.

If the government reduces transfer payments, what happens to the budget deficit? What curve does this change in the market for l
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

  • The budget deficit will decrease
  • The curve it changes is the loanable funds curve
  • The loanable funds curve shifts to the right
  • The equilibrium interest rate falls

Suppose a parcel of land promises to return $750 per year per acre. what is the capitalized value of the land if the interest ra
sergij07 [2.7K]

A capitalized value of land is the value of the land calculated on Total return per year divided by the interest rate.

The capitalized value of land = Return on land per year ÷ Interest rate

Where Return on land per year = $750

Interest Rate = 7%

The capitalized value of land = $ 750 ÷ 0.07

= $ 10,714.29

Therefore, the capitalized value of land if the interest rate is 7% is $ 10,714.29.
