                                Service Departments               Operating Departments

              Admin.    Janitorial    Mainten.       Binding      Printing    Total

Costs  $168,000   $126,000   $57,600     $330,000  $516,000 $1,197,600

Admin (168,000)                                             100,800     67,200     0

Janitorial                (126,000)                          36,000     90,000      0

Maintenance                            (57,600)          19,200     38,400      0

Total cost                                                    $486,000   $711,600 $1,197,600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                Service Departments               Operating Departments

                 Administration Janitorial Maintenance     Binding      Printing    Total

Costs          $168,000        $126,000     $57,600     $330,000  $516,000   $1,197,600

Number of

employees           60                    35              140              315         210    760

Square feet of

space occupied 15,000       10,000       20,000        40,000      100,000    185,000

Hours of

press time                                                                     30,000      60,000     90,000

Allocation bases:

Administration cost = Number of employees 525

Janitorial cost = Square feet 140,000

Maintenance cost = Hours of press time 90,000

Allocation Rates and to Operating Departments:

Administration $168,000/525 = $320 per employee

Binding = 315 * $320 = $100,800

Printing = 210 * $320 = $67,200

Janitorial costs = $126,000/140,000 = $0.90 per square feet

Binding = 40,000 * $0.90 = $36,000

Printing = 100,000 * $0.90 = $90,000

Maintenance costs = $57,600/90,000 = $0.64 per press hour

Binding = 30,000 * $0.64 = $19,200

Printing = 60,000 * $0.64 = $38,400

A coffee shop buys 2000 bags of their most popular coffee beans each month. The cost of ordering and receiving shipments is $12
aleksley [76]

Solution :

The optimal order quantity, EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times \text{demand}\times \text{ordering cost}}{\text{holding cost}}}$

EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 2000 \times 12}{3.6}}$

        = 115.47

The expected number of orders = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ}$

                                                      $=\frac{2000}{115.47}$

                                                      = 17.32

The daily demand = demand / number of working days

                               $=\frac{2000}{240}$

                              = 8.33

The time between the orders = EOQ / daily demand

                                                 $=\frac{115.47}{8.33}$

                                                  = 13.86 days

ROP  = ( Daily demand x lead time ) + safety stock

        $=(8.33 \times 8)+10$

         = 76.64

The annual holding cost = $\frac{EOQ}{2} \times \text{holding cost}$

                                         $=\frac{115.47}{2} \times 3.6$

                                         = 207.85

The annual ordering cost = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ} \times \text{ordering cost}$

                                           $=\frac{2000}{115.47} \times 12$

                                           = 207.85

So the total inventory cost = annual holding cost + annual ordering cost

                                            = 207.85 + 207.85

                                            = 415.7
