Sam buys fuel for his construction vehicles from the local distributer. He uses 8,500 gallons a month. The local distributor cha

rges him $20.50 per order when he orders and it costs him $9.00 per gallon per year to store the gas at his farm. The distributer can arrive within an hour of his order and we have a 500 gallon tank he can fill. From a logical and reasonable standpoint, how much fuel should Sam order when he calls the distributer? (Remember how big the tank for his gas is)

Answer:

He should order 681.66 gallons to minimize the cost, but he have a 500 gallon tank he can fill, so he will order 500 gallons every time, to minimize the cost.

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

h = handling cost per unit = $ 9

S = Ordering cost per order = $20.5

He uses 8,500 gallons a month, therefore, the annual demand D= 8,500*12 = 102,000 gallons .

Therefore, the optimal ordering quantity would be= [ (2*D*S) / h ]1/2

                                                                                   =681.66 units

He should order 681.66 gallons to minimize the cost, but he have a 500 gallon tank he can fill, so he will order 500 gallons every time, to minimize the cost.

Equipment purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year for $150,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, or 15,000 ope
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

(a). Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

(b). 1st Year Depreciation = $20,000

for 2nd year depreciation = $26,000

(c) 1st year Depreciation= $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = $36,000

Explanation:

a).

Annual Depreciation of Equipment = (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life of Equipment

= ($150,000 - $30,000) ÷ 5

= $24,000

Rate of Straight Line Depreciation = Annual Depreciation of Equipment ÷ (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) × 100

= 24,000 ÷ ( $150,000 - 30,000) × 100

= $24,000 ÷ $120,000 × 100 = 20%

Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

b). Unit Of Production For 1st Year Depreciation= (Cost Of Equipment -Residual Value) × Annual Production Units ÷ Total Operating Hours

= ($150,000 - $30,000) × 2,500 ÷ 15,000 = $20,000

Unit of Production for 2nd year depreciation = ( $150,000 - $30,000) × 32,50 ÷ 15,000

= $26,000

c). Declining Balance Depreciation Rate = Straight Line Depreciation Rate × 2

= 20% × 2 = 40%   (Because Declining Balance at Twice the Straight Line Rate)

1st year Depreciation= $150,000 × 40÷100 = $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = ($150,000 - $60,000) × 40÷100 =$36,000
