Answer

D) compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be approx 30% lower.

Explanation

EOQ = √(2*Co*D/Cc)

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/(Cc*(1-x)))

x=D/P

D = demand rate

P =production rate

Co=ordering cost

Cc=holding cost

1) The production rate would be about double the usage rate.

hence, P = 2D

x=D/2D=0.5

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/((1-0.5)*Cc))

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/0.5Cc)

EPQ=√ (1/0.5)*EOQ

EPQ=√ (2)*EOQ

EPQ=1.41*EOQ

Hence, EPQ is around 40% larger than EOQ.

Ans.: c) EPQ will be approximately 40% larger than the EOQ.

2) Compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be

maximum inventory = Q

EPQ = 1.41 EOQ

EPQ = 1.41*Q

Q=EPQ/1.41

Q=0.71 EPQ

Hence, compared to EOQ, maximum inventory in EPQ is only 70% of that in EOQ model.

Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $35,500 and a remaining useful life of four years.
Doss [256]

Answer: Option (e) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Book value of manufacturing equipment = $35,500

Current market value of equipment = $21,100

Cost of new machine = $111,000

cash received from trading old machine = $21,100

Variable manufacturing costs of new machine reduce by $18,100 per year over the four-year =

Total increase/decrease in net income = Cost of new machine + cash received from trading old machine + Reduction in Variable manufacturing costs

                                                =  ($111,000) + $21,100 + $18,100 × 4

                                                = ($17,500)

Note: Bracket represents the negative values.

∴ The total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine is $17,500.

People who are high on authoritarianism do not do well
____ [38]

Answer:

(D) In organizations where employees expect clear directions.

Explanation:

Authoritarianism is coined from the word "authority". Authoritarianism is a system of ruling whereby the leader (Authoritative person or Dictator) gives all orders and doesn't expect to be questioned or argued with.

In organizations where employees expect clear directions, people who are high on authoritarianism will not do well, since they could switch orders indefinitely and expect no one to argue with them.

An authoritative boss could say that members of a department should submit their files to his desk by 3pm and then change his mind an hour to the deadline and send a new instruction that those employees should gather for a meeting (without their files) by 3pm.

Such confusion will impede the smooth running of day-to-day activities in that organization; especially as no one challenges the leader.
