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;}

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three types of activities in the cash flow statement which are described below:  

1. Operating activities: It includes those transactions which affect the working capital after net income. The increase in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities would be deducted whereas the decrease in current assets and an increase in current liabilities would be added.  

These changes in working capital would be adjusted. Moreover, the depreciation expense is added to the net income  and it also records the cash receipts and cash payment transactions

2. Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

3. Financing activities: It records those activities which affect the long term liability and shareholder equity balance. The issue of shares is an inflow of cash whereas redemption and dividend is an outflow of cash.

The categorization is shown below:

a. Cash purchase of merchandise inventory - operating activity

b. Cash payment of dividend - financing activity

c. Cash receipt from the collection of long-term notes receivable - investing activity

d. Cash payment for income taxes - operating activity

e. Purchase of equipment in exchange for notes payable - non cash activity

f. Cash receipt from the sale of land - investing activity

g. Cash received from borrowing money  - financing activity

h. Cash receipt for interest income - operating activity

i. Cash receipt from the issuance of common stock - financing activity

j. Cash payment of salaries dividends - operating activity

Angelo invested $4,000 into two accounts. One account paid 4% interest and the other paid 9% interest. He earns 6% interest on t
inn [45]

Answer:

$2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%

Explanation:

In this case, we have two unknowns, so in order to be solved, we need to find two equations.

We know that amount 1, that we call x, plus amount 2, we call y, is 4000.  

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

Also we know, when we add the interest earned on amount 1 to the interest earned on amount 2, the total interest is 6% of 4000, it means: 240

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

So, we have two equations with two unknowns

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

That we can solve for any method we know. We will use substitution.  Lets clear from first equation the unknown x.

x=4000-y

Then, we substitute in second equation

0.04(4000-y)+0.09y=240

And we solve:

160-0.04y+0.09y=240

0.05y=240-160

y=80/0.05=1600

Now we simply plug this into our first equation and solve for x

x+y=4000

x+1600=4000

x=4000-1600

x=2400

So, $2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%

Accounts receivable from sales to customers amounted to $40,000 and $32,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively.
natima [27]

Answer:

a. $118,000

Explanation:

When preparing a cash flow statement, using indirect method we add decrease in current assets and we deduct increase in current assets.

Here it is provided that income reported = $110,000

Opening balance of accounts receivables = $40,000

Closing balance of accounts Receivables = $32,000

Change in Accounts receivables = Closing - Opening = $32,000 - $40,000 = - $8,000

Therefore there is decrease in accounts receivables which is a current asset.

Thus Cash Flow from operating activities

Net Income = $110,000

Add: Decrease in current assets = $8,000

Net cash flow from operating activity = $118,000

Correct option is

a. $118,000
