Answer:

The answer is to minimize the reodering cost

Explanation:

We have three motives for holding inventory

1. Transaction motives of holding inventory This is to enable day to day transaction running of inventories.

2. Precautionary motives of holding inventory: Holding inventory to guard against unforeseen circumstances or to meet emergencies. For example, unexpected increase in demand.

3. Speculative motives of holding inventory. This is the holding of inventory in order to take advantage of any potential Investments. For example, to hedge against risk, take advantage of discounts.

All the options EXCEPT 'to minimize reodering cost' option are the reasons holding inventories.

Hi the demand for each  product for this question is missing, however, i have provided step by step approach to solving the problem below .

Explanation:

First Calculate the contribution per unit of each product

                                                        A                           B                            C

Sales price                                  $65.50                $57.50                  $75.25

Less Total variable cost            ($28.85)              ($26.50)                ($38.95 )

Less Direct material cost            ($11.25)                ($8.90)                 ($22.75)

Contribution                                $25.40                 $22.10                   $13.25

Calculate the contribution per limiting factor of each product and rank the products

<em>contribution per limiting factor = contribution per unit ÷ quantity per limiting factor per unit</em>

                                                        A                           B                            C

Contribution                                $25.40                 $22.10                   $13.25

Quantity of limiting factor             4.65                      6.3                          5.9

Contribution per limiting factor   5.46                      3.51                        2.25

Ranking                                            1                           2                             3

Allocate the limiting factor according to the limiting factor

The company will on produce Product A as this is the most profitable.

Contribution =  $25.40

The Pecking Order view on capital structure:
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

c. Argues that a firm's first choice for capital is retained earnings as there is no informational cost associated with using retained earnings.

Explanation:

The Pecking order theory states that a business should first of all seek for internal funds (retained earnings) as a first choice of capital.

When internal funds are depleted, it can now look to debt as a source of finance.

In turn when debt options have been exhausted the last resort is to look for funding from equity.

So the Pecking order argues that a firm's first choice for capital is retained earnings as there is no informational cost associated with using retained earnings.
