Given:

Annual Demand(D) = 200,000 × 12 = 2,400,000  units

Cost per order(S) = $500 per order

Holding cost(H) = 20% of Unit cost = $10 × 20% = $2

Unit cost =$10

Computation:

1)  Optimal Order size = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }

Optimal Order Size= \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2,400,000\times 500}{2} }

Optimal\ Order\ Size = 34,641 Units (Approx)

2)  Annual\ holding\ cost = (Optimal\ Order\ Size / 2) \times Holding\ Cost

Annual holding cost = (34,641 / 2) × 2

Annual holding cost = $34,641

3)  Number of Order per year = Annual demand / Optimal Order Quantity

Number of Order per year = 2,400,000 / 34,641

Number of Order per year = 69.2820646

Number of Order per year = 69 order (Approx)

4)  Annual variable transportation cost = Transportation per unit × Annual Demand

Annual variable transportation cost = $0.10 × 2,400,000

Annual variable transportation cost  = $240,000

5)  Annual Clerical Cost = Number of Order per year × Cost per Order

Annual Clerical Cost = 69.282 × $500

Annual Clerical Cost  = $34,641

german

Answer:

79.5%.

Explanation:

Rate of return = \frac{final value - initial value}{initial value} x 100

The cost of the acre = $12700.

Total property taxes paid for 7 years = $175 x 7

                                                             = $1225

Net value of cost = $12700 + $1225

                             = $13925

Net value of the land when sold = $25000

∴ Rate of return = \frac{25000 - 13925}{13925} x 100

                          = 0.7953 x 100

                          = 79.53%

The rate of return of the acre of land is 79.5%.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The $29,000 is the income which does harry report

Explanation:

Special identification allocation method: Under this method, the allocation is done on the basis of days, weeks, etc to know how much inventory is left on the particular date.

First we have to calculate the income of one day so that we can easily compute for the 29 days. The calculation is shown below.

One day income = Total income ÷ Number of days in a year

                            = $1,460,000 ÷ 365 days

                            = $4,000

Now,the income is

= one day income × 29 days × rate if interest

= $4,000 × 29 × 25%

= $29,000

Thus, the $29,000 is the income which does harry report
