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.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

3,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of shares authorized = 15,000

Number if shares issued = 4,500

Number of shares repurchased = 1,500

Now,

Total shares outstanding =  Shares issued - Shares repurchased

or

Total shares outstanding = 4500 - 1,500

or

Total shares outstanding = 3,000

Hence,

3,000 shares are outstanding at December 31

Kim Inc. is considering the replacement of a piece of equipment with a newer model. The following data has been collected: Old E
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Kim Inc.

The net advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is:

= $7,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                     Old Equipment     New Equipment  

Purchase price                                 $262,500              $450,000

Accumulated depreciation                  95,000               0  

Annual operating costs                     300,000                245,000

Total operating costs for 10 years 3,000,000             2,450,000

Salvage                                                 92,500             0

Total incremental cost                 $2,907,500           $2,900,000

b) The net advantage obtained by Kim for replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is $7,500 ($2,907,500 - $2,900,000).  Note that the purchase price of the old equipment with its accumulated depreciation are not relevant costs.  This case is worked out without taking into account the time value of money.  Assuming that the present value of the cash flows was computed, a different result and conclusion would be reached.

A manager is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part or to have it produced internally. Internal production could us
Sergio [31]

Answer:

For both 10,000 units and 20,000 units, the best alternative is Vendor B

Explanation:

Using the information provided in the question, we can write the following:

Annual Volume of 10,000 units

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 170,000 (we multiply the variable cost per unit by total units)

Fixed costs = 20,000

Total costs = 370,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 140,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 380,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 200,000 (we simply multiply the price by the quantity)

Vendor B

Total cost = 180,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 190,000

The cheapest option is Vendor B

Now for the 20,000 units:

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 340,000

Fixed costs = 200,000

Total costs = 540,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 280,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 520,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 400,000

Vendor B

Total cost = 360,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 380,000

Therefore, Vendor B is once again, the cheapest alternative.
