Drugs Online (DO) is an online retailer of prescription drugs and health supplements. Vitamins represent a significant percentag

e of its sales. Demand for vitamins is 9,000 bottles per month. DO incurs a fixed order placement and receiving cost of $100 each time an order for vitamins is placed with the manufacturer. The purchase price is $3.00 per bottle. DO incurs a holding cost of 20 percent per year. (Assume 30 days a month.) a and b: Retailer Part a) Assume that DO places an order for 4,500 bottles every 15 days. Compute the annual ordering and holding cost for the current ordering policy. Part b) What is the optimal order quantity to minimize the annual ordering and holding cost? Part (c) The manufacturer: Now consider the manufacturer of vitamins who supplies DO. The manufacturer has a production line dedicated for producing vitamins supplied to DO. This line produces 9,000 bottles per month at a daily constant rate of 300 per day. The variable manufacturing cost is $2 per bottle. Manufacturer incurs a fixed cost of $250 to process, pack, and ship an order to DO. The holding cost is 20% year. Compute the following if DO’s order size is 4,500 bottles. Assume that the manufacturer’s inventory falls to zero when a batch of 4,500 bottles is shipped to DO. (i) Manufacturer’s average inventory: (ii) Number of orders manufacturer fills per year (iii) Manufacturer’s annual cost of holding inventory and filling orders: Part (d) for the supply chain: Now consider the supply chain that consists of both the manufacturer and DO. (i) For order sizes of 4,500 by the DO to the manufacturer, write the annual inventory holding and order cost for the supply chain. [Hint: It is sum of cost in part a and c(iii).] (ii) Find the optimal order size by DO to the manufacturer in order to minimize the annual inventory holding and order cost for the supply chain

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

a) Number of orders per year, N = 30 / 15 * 12=24

Annual Ordering cost = 24*100 = $ 2400

Annual Holding cost = 4500 / 2 * 3 * 20 \%=\$ 1350

Total cost = $ 3750

b)  Annual Demand, D = 9000*12 = 108000

Holding cost, H = 3 * 20 \%=0.6

Ordering Cost, S = 100

Optimal order quantity = \mathrm{EOQ}=\sqrt{(} 2 \mathrm{SD} / \mathrm{H})=\underbrace{\sqrt{(} 2 * 100 * 108000 / 0.6)}=6000

Annual Ordering cost = 108000 / 6000 * 100=\$ 1800

Annual Holding cost = 6000 / 2 * 0.6=\$ 1800

Total cost = $ 3600  

c)  (i) Manufacturer's Average Inventory = Average of minimum and maximum inventory = (0+4500) / 2=2250

(ii) Number of orders manufacturer fills per year = 24

(iii) Cost of holding inventory = 2250 * 2 * 20 \%=\$ 900

Cost of filling orders = 24*250 = $ 6000

Total cost = $ 6900

d)  (i) Total holding and ordering cost of supply chain = 3750 + 6900 = $ 10650

(ii) To find the optimal order size to minimize the total supply chain cost, we need to calculate the ordering cost and holding cost of supply chain.

Ordering cost of supply chain, S = 100 + 250 = 350,

Holding cost of supply chain = 3^{*} \cdot 2+2^{*} \cdot 2=1

Optimal order qty = \mathrm{EOQ}=\sqrt{(} 2 \mathrm{SD} / \mathrm{H})=\underline{\sqrt{(} 2 * 350 * 108000 / 1)}=8695

Annual Ordering cost of Supply chain = 108000 / 8695 * 350=4347.4

Annual Holding cost of Supply chain =8695 / 2^{*} 1=4347.4

Total cost of supply chain = 8695

A publisher reports that 55% of their readers own a particular make of car. a marketing executive wants to test the claim that t
Dominik [7]

Based on the percentage of readers who own a particular make of the car and the random sample, we can infer that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.02 level to support the executive claim.

<h3>What is the evidence to support the executive's claim?</h3>

The hypothesis is:

Null hypothesis : P = 0.55

Alternate hypothesis : P ≠ 0.55

We then need to find the test statistic:

= (Probability found by marketing executive - Probability from publisher) / √( (Probability from publisher x (1 - Probability from publisher))/ number of people sampled

= (0.46 - 0.55) / √(( 0.55 x ( 1 - 0.55)) / 200

= -2.56

Using this z value as the test statistic, perform a two-tailed test to show:

= P( Z < -2.56) + P(Z > 2.56)

= 0.0052 + 0.0052

= 0.0104

The p-value is 0.0104 which is less than the significance level of 0.02. This means that we reject the null hypothesis.

The Marketing executive was correct.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Negative Indirect.

This is due to the indirect affect of tax on the purchase of new vehicle because a new tax on gasoline reduces the consumers incentive to the buy the new vehicles. Therefore, it is a negative indirect incentive.

Also, there is a fall in the number of cars or vehicles purchased because of the tax imposed on the gasoline.

Nu Company reported the following pretax data for its first year of operations. Net sales 2,910 Cost of goods available for sale
kozerog [31]

Answer:

$434

Explanation:

Net sales                     = $2,910

-Cost of goods sold    = $1,560 (Working)

=Gross profit                = $1350

-Operating expenses  = $730

=Profit before Tax        = $620

-Tax 30%                      = $186

=Net Profit/Net Income= $434

<u>Working</u>

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Closing Inventory if LIFO is elected

Cost of goods sold = 2,430 - 870 = 1560
