Answer:

EOQ = = 15,491.93 units

Optimal order interval 18.8 days (19.36 orders in year)

Total cost = $150,774.60

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.

It is computed using he formulae below

EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch

Co- ordering cost per order- 20,

Ch -Holding cost per unit per annum- 10%× $0.5= 0.05

Annual demand: D- 300,000

EOQ = √(2× 20 * 2,580)/(10%× 0.5)

= 15,491.93 units

Assuming 365 days, the optimal order interval in dates

Number of orders per year

= annual demand/EOQ

= 300,000/ 15,491.93

= 19.36 times

in days:

= EOQ/300,000 × 365 days

= (15,491.93/ 300,000) × 365 days

= 18.8 days

Total annual cost =

Total cost Purchase cost + Carrying cost + ordering cost 

Purchase cost = $0.5 × 300,000 = 150,000

Carrying cost = (15,491.93/2) * 10%*0.5 = 387.29

Ordering cost = (300,000/15,491.93 ) × 20 = 387.29

Total cost 150,774.60

Because supply curves slope upward, this supports the law of supply that as prices __________, more goods will be supplied.

antoniya [11.8K]

Finger [1]

Answer:

D. Increase; increase

Explanation:

Exchange rate is defined as the amount of one currency that can be exchanged for another currency at a particular time.

Demand and supply affects exchange rates of currencies.

Currencies that are in more demand tend to have higher exchange rates, while those with low demand will have low exchange rate.

In this instance an increase in preference for US goods will cause an increased demand for dollars. The dollar becomes stronger against the Peso.

It will take more pesos to purchase the dollar, so equillibrum exchange rate of peso to dollar will increase.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

The information given in the question clearly shows that the value of goods and services U.S imported from Australia is greater than the value of goods and services Australia imported from the U.S. This exchange of goods and services between these two nations also shows that exports of Australia towards U.S. are greater than the exports of U.S. towards the Australia.

Balance of trade or Trade Balance or Net exports:

= Exports - Imports

Since Australia's Exports are greater than its imports, so Australia has a positive net exports and a trade surplus and U.S's Exports are less than its imports, so U.S has a negative net exports and a trade deficit with Australia.
