Palin's Muffler Shop has one standard muffler that fits a large variety of cars. The shop wishes to establish a periodic review

system to manage inventory of this standard muffler. Use the information in the following table to determine the optimal inventory target level (or order-up-to level).
Annual demand 2,870 mufflers Ordering cost $65per order
Standard deviation of daily demand 6 mufflers per working day Service probability 76%
Item cost $31.00 per muffler Lead time 2 working days
Annual holding cost 22% of item value Working days 205 per year
Review period 16working days
a. What is the optimal target level (order-up-to level)? (Use Excel's NORMSINV) function to find the correct critical value for the given
α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round ''z'' value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
b. If the service probability requirement is 97 percent, the optimal target level will:
_____Increase
_____Decrease
_____Stay the same

Answer:

A.) 270 units (b.) Increase

Explanation:

Given the following :

Annual demand (A) = 2870

Working days = 205

Review period (P) = 16 working days

Lead time (L) = 2 working days

Standard deviation (σ) = 6 per working day

Service probability = 76%

Therefore, z = NORMSINV(0.76) = 0.71

Average demand (D) = 2870 / 205 = 14

Optimum target level, (S) is given by the relation:

D×(P+L) + z×σ×√(P+L)

14×(16+2) + 0.71×6×√(16+2)

(14×18) + 4.26 × √18

252 + 4.26*4.242

252 + 18.07

= 270.07 units = 270 units

B) If service probability increases to 97%, Z will automatically increase, hence a corresponding increase in the optimal target level.

Shanken corp. issued a 30-year, 5.9 percent semiannual bond 6 years ago. the bond currently sells for 108 percent of its face va
bazaltina [42]

The pre-tax cost of debt is yield to maturity of the debt.

The yield to maturity of debt is calculated as -

Yield to maturity = ]Coupon payment + ( Face value - Current price) / Number of years)] / [ ( Face value + Current price) / 2]

Here,

Coupon payment = $ 29.50 (semi-annual, thus 5.9% / 2 * 1000)

Face value = $ 1,000

Price = $ 1,000 * 108% = $ 1,080

Number of years = 12 ( semi-annual, thus 6 years * 2)

Pre-tax cost of debt = [ 29.50 + (1,000 - 1080/12)] / [ (1000+1080)/2 ]

Pre-tax cost of debt = 2.196 %

Annual pre-tax cost of debt = = 2.20 % * 2 = 4.40%

After tax cost of debt = ( 1 - tax rate ) * Annual pre-tax cost of debt

After tax cost of debt = ( 1 - 35%) * 4.40 %

After tax cost of debt = 2.86 %

What can organizations do to keep rewards individualized enough to meet various employee needs (needs theory) while trying to en
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The best way to go about this is to design and operate and rewards system that recognizes individual needs as summarized and proposed by David McClelland.

The theory of equity on the other hand speaks to the perception of how input is compensated for in relation to those of others. Human beings (workers) will come with varying degrees of skills and input.

So to customize rewards in such a way that it recognizes unique contributions in an equitable way, one must first decide what key skills will be required for each job and which jobs are required to achieve organizational goals and objectives.

Explanation:

The Needs Theory by David Mclelland summarizes individual needs into three. They are:

  1. Achievement
  2. Affiliation
  3. Power

A balanced reward system will have financial and non-financial benefits. some of the non-financial benefits will be tailored to have the above components.

- Achievement: An example of this is - Opportunity for higher assignments

- Affiliation: The need to belong to a strong Employer brand

- Power: This answers the question about whether or not one will become more influential as they progress with the company

The equity theory will guide the business owner in ensuring that all selected metrics of input are classed and priced accordingly.

The usual form of input include but are not limited to:

  • Ability
  • Adaptability
  • Commitment
  • Determination
  • Education
  • Effort
  • Enthusiasm
  • Experience
  • Flexibility
  • Hard Work
  • Loyalty
  • Personal sacrifice
  • Skill
  • Support from co-workers and colleagues
  • Time
  • Tolerance
  • Trust in supervisors

Equity sometimes is difficult to achieve due to issues with capacity on the part of the company. Best practice, however, is to recognize equity first from the perspective of standard industry practice, then match or exceed such offering by a combination of Financial and Non-Financial rewards that are based on the strength of the organization.

Another strategy is for organizations to adapt it's reward systems to  Achievement Based Compensation. This type of compensation instead of focusing on the inputs listed above focuses on results.

In this case, expected results and capacity to deliver and subsequent rewards on same are discussed and agreed upon.

Minimum requirements are also defined ahead of time. Under this kind of structure, equity is achieved, and individual needs are recognized.
