4. Each year, Holly's Best Salad Dressing, Inc. (HBSD) purchases 50,000 gallons of extra virgin olive oil. Ordering costs are $1

00 per order, and the carrying cost, as a percentage of inventory value, is 80 percent. The purchase price to HBSD is $0.50 per gallon. Management currently orders the EOQ each time an order is placed. No safety stock is carried. The supplier is now offering a quantity discount of $0.03 per gallon if HBSD orders 10,000 gallons at a time. Should HBSD take the discount?

Answer:

HBSD should take the discount because it will

lead to as savings of  $1,120.00  

Explanation:

step 1

<em>Determine the the inventory cost of EOQ</em>

EOQ =√ (2× Co× D)/Ch

= √(2× 100× 50,000)/ 80% × $0.50

= 5,000 units

Inventory cost = Purchase cost + Ordering cost + carrying cost

                                                                     $

Purchase cost = 50,000 × $0.50   =   25,000.00

Ordering cost   = (50,000/5000)× 100  = 1,000

carrying cost  =  (5000/2) × $0.50 × 80% = <u>1,000</u>

Total cost                                                   <u>27,000.</u>

Step 2

<em>Determine the inventory cost for order of 10,000 gallons</em>

Order of 10,000 gallons

Purchase cost = $(0.50-0.03) × 50,000      = 23,500.

Ordering cost = (50,000/10,000) × 100   =          500

Carrying cost = (10000/2) × $(0.50-0.03)× 80%  =<u>1880</u>

Total cost                                                          <u>   25,880.</u>

Step 3

<em>Compare the cost under the two options</em>

HBSD should take the discount because it will

lead to as savings of  $1,120.00   i.e (927,000 - 25,880.)

Under which conditions, according to the Porter five-forces model, can a supplier group gain power?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

b. When there is a lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group

Explanation:

According to Porter there are five forces that can cause rivalry in a production industry. These are supplier power, threat of new entrants, buyer power, threat of substitutes, and degree of rivalry.

Supplier power is when suppliers are able to benefit from the producers by increasing prices of inputs and gaining some industry profit. Since suppliers supply input and labour to the producer they have a greater control of there is lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group.

This means that the supplier group has more control on price and quality it supplies to the buyer with buyer having little choice but to buy.

If however buyer is more important to the supplier it means they can control price and quality of inputs

Suppose an economy has a law that requires all wages to be adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the general price level. Thi
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

economic (or business) cycles are less severe.

Explanation:

If the wages follow the general price level, it means that they will follow the inflation rate. When the economy is strong and inflation might rise, then the wages should increase accordingly. When the economy is starting to enter a recession then the inflation rate will reduce, so wages will not increase as much (if any increase at all).

This type of economic policy favors expansion cycles since private consumption is the main component of the GDP and also helps when the economy enters a recession because the wages will follow inflation rate which will help make the recession less severe and hopefully shorter.

One basic concept for this to work is that inflation is always a positive number, countries rarely (if ever) go through deflation processes.

Windathon, Inc. expects sales volume totaling $500,000 for June. Data for the month follows:
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Here the variable cost can be computed using the following formula:

Variable cost = (Sales commissions  + Shipping expense + Miscellaneous selling expenses) ×Sales

Variable cost = (4% + 1% + 3/4%) x $500,000 = $28,750

Fixed cost = Sales manager's salary + Advertising expense + Miscellaneous selling expenses

= $30,000 + $25,000 + $2,100

= $57,100

<em>Total selling expense budget = Variable cost + Fixed cost</em>

<em>= $28,750 + $57,100 </em>

<em>= $85,850</em>
