Answer:

<h3><u>When holding costs are $35 per unit</u>,</h3>

1.The most cost-effective order quantity (assuming they take the most cost-effective discount, and use a fixed holding cost) is <u>182 units</u>.

2. At the chosen level of quantity, discount, and using the fixed holding cost, the total annual cost for Bell computers to order, purchase, and hold the integrated chips is <u>$1,585,898</u>.

<h3><u>When holding costs are 10% of purchase price per unit,</u></h3>

1.The most cost-effective order quantity (assuming they take the most cost-effective discount, and use a fixed holding cost) is <u>189 units</u>.

2. At the chosen level of quantity, discount, and using the fixed holding cost, the total annual cost for Bell computers to order, purchase, and hold the integrated chips is <u>$1,585,546.</u>

<h3>When holding costs are $35 per unit,</h3>

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

1. We have

Ordering Costs per order   $119

Holding Cost per unit            $35

Demand per month            405 units

Demand per year is                                405*12 = 4860 units

Since the most cost-effective order quantity is the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), we compute the EOQ

\mathbf{EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2SD}{H}}}

where

D is  demand per year

S is the Ordering cost per order

H is the holding cost per unit

Substituting the values we get,

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2*(405*12)*119}{35}}

EOQ = \sqrt{33048}

\mathbf{EOQ = 181.7910889 \approx 182 units}

2. The annual costs of ordering, purchasing and holding the integrated chips is the sum of the cost of ordering, purchasing and holding the integrated  chips.

Since the EOQ at 182 units falls in the second slab of Rich Blue Manufacturing, Bell computer can purchase chips at $325 per unit

Cost of purchasing the chips     \mathbf{405*12*325 = 1579500}

Number of orders to placed         \frac{Annual Demand}{EOQ}

Number of orders to placed         \frac{405*12}{182}

Number of orders to placed   \mathbf{26.703 \approx 27 orders}

Cost of orders                           Number of orders * Cost per order

Cost of orders                               \mathbf{27 * 119 = 3213&#10;}

Holding Costs                        \frac{EOQ}{2} * Holding cost per unit

Holding Costs                               \frac{182}{2} * 35

Holding Costs                               \mathbf{3185&#10;}

Total annual costs       \mathbf{1579500 + 3213 + 3185 = 1585898}

<h3>When holding costs are 10% of purchase price per unit,</h3>

1. We need to calculate the EOQ, which holding cost at each purchase price

EOQ_{350} = (2*(405*12)*119)/(350*0.10) \approx 182 units

\mathbf{EOQ_{325} = (2*(405*12)*119)/(325*0.10)\approx 189 units}

EOQ_{300} = (2*(405*12)*119)/(300*0.10)\approx 197 units

Since the EOQ lies between 100 and 199 units in all the three costs, Bell Computers can purchase the units only at $325 per unit, so its holding cost will be 10% of $325, which is $32.50 per unit.

2.2. The annual costs of ordering, purchasing and holding the integrated chips is the sum of the cost of ordering, purchasing and holding the integrated  chips.

Since the EOQ at 189 units falls in the second slab of Rich Blue Manufacturing, Bell computer can purchase chips at $325 per unit

Cost of purchasing the chips     \mathbf{405*12*325 = 1579500}

Number of orders to placed         \frac{Annual Demand}{EOQ}

Number of orders to placed         \frac{405*12}{189}

Number of orders to placed   \mathbf{24.762 \approx 25 orders}

Cost of orders                           Number of orders * Cost per order

Cost of orders                               \mathbf{25 * 119 = 2975  }

Holding Costs                        \frac{EOQ}{2} * Holding cost per unit

Holding Costs                               \frac{189}{2} * 32.5

Holding Costs                               \mathbf{3071.25&#10;}

Total annual costs    \mathbf{1579500 + 2975 + 3071.25 = 1585546.25&#10;}

Wimpy Inc. produces and sells a single product. The selling price of the product is $185.00 per unit and its variable cost is $5
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The formula for the calculation is

<u>CM ratio = Unit contribution margin ÷ Unit selling price </u>

The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to $578,100

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation is

<u>CM ratio = Unit contribution margin ÷ Unit selling price </u>

<u></u>

<u>Given that </u>

<u>Selling price of the product=</u>$185.00 per unit

variable cost=$55.50 per unit

fixed expense=$404,670 per month

<u></u>

= ($185.00 per unit − $55.50 per unit) ÷ $185.00 per unit

= $129.50 per unit ÷ $185.00 per unit = 0.70

<u>Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expenses ÷ CM ratio </u>

= $404,670 ÷ 0.70

= $578,100

The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to $578,100

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A company estimates its sales at 200,000 units in the first quarter and that sales will increase by 20,000 units each quarter over the year.

They have, and desire, a 25% ending inventory of finished goods.

Production required for the third quarter:

Sales= 200,000 + 40,000= 240,000

Ending inventory desired= 260,000*0.25= 65,000

Beginning inventory= (240,000*0.25)= (60,000)

Total= 245,000
