A manager receives a forecast for next year. Demand is projected to be 590 units for the first half of the year and 940 units fo

r the second half. The monthly holding cost is $2 per unit, and it costs an estimated $55 to process an order.
a. Assuming that monthly demand will be level during each of the six-month periods covered by the forecast (e.g., 100 per month for each of the first six months), determine an order size that will minimize the sum of ordering and carrying costs for each of the six-month periods. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

74 units; 93 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Holding cost, H = $2 per unit

Carrying cost, O = $55

Demand in first half, D1 = 590 units

                                       = 590 ÷ 6

                                       = 98.33 per month

Demand in second half, D2 = 940 units

                                       = 940 ÷ 6

                                       = 156.67 per month

For D1; EOQ:

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times O}{H} }

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 98.33\times 55}{2} }

               = 73.54 or 74 units

For D2; EOQ:

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times O}{H} }

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 156.67\times 55}{2} }

               = 92.82 or 93 units

Hence, the appropriate order size will be 74 units and 93 units.

Luden [163]

Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $21

Explanation:

<em>Transfer price is the price at which goods are exchange between branches or divisions of the same group</em>

<em>Where  a division is operating at the less than the existing capacity, to optimist the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows</em>

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost

Note that the fixed of $12 per unit (i.e 33-21) is irrelevant for this purpose, whether or not Hinges produces, it will be incurred either way.

It is worthy of note that there is no opportunity cost associated with any transfer to the Doors division because Hinges is currently having excess capacity.

Therefore, any offering price equal to or above the variable cost of $21 would be acceptable and optimize the group profit.

Hence, the minimum transfer price = $21

Cleo is afraid of being viewed as weak, so she uses only her head when managing her team of employees. Which leadership task is
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Developing employees' skills .

Explanation:

Some of the different managers' tasks include <em>setting and communicating the vision, inspiring, encouraging, and supporting the team, </em>and <em>motivating employees' towards their development</em>. All of those challenges imply interacting directly with subordinates. It is impossible to achieve the firms' goals while helping employees to achieve theirs without communication.

Thus, <em>Cleo is failing at believing by nodding her head she will be seen as a stronger manager. Stronger managers are those whose actions maximize the entity's profits, by maximizing workers' efficiency which implies developing their skills.</em>
