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.)

olganol [36]

Answer:

FV= $772

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment (PV)= $850

Interest rate (i)= 3.5% = 0.035

Number of periods (n)= 5 years

<u>To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 650*(1.035^5)

FV= $772

NPV                                                                                                136,333

Calculation for EAC

NPV = 136,333

Annuity factor for 5 years = 3.790

Equivalent annual cost = NPV /Annuity factor

Equivalent annual cost = 136,333/3.790

Equivalent annual cost = 35,972

N76 [4]
Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends. 

<span>Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)

</span>where
D1<span> = </span><span>expected annual </span>dividend<span> per share in the following year </span>
<span>k = the investor's discount rate or required </span>rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate 

<u>From the problem:</u>
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08

k is unknown

Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:

k = (D1/P0) + g

Substituting the variables with the given values, 

k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170

In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.

Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.
