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

Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.04 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.1
Reil [10]

Answer:

value of the bond = $2,033.33

Explanation:

We know,

Value of the bond, B_{0} = [I * \frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-n}}{i}] + \frac{FV}{(1 + i)^n}

Here,

Face value of par value, FV = $2,000

Coupon payment, I = Face value or Par value × coupon rate

Coupon payment, I = $2,000 × 6.04%

Coupon payment, I = $128

yield to maturity, i = 6.1% = 0.061

number of years, n = 15

Therefore, putting the value in the formula, we can get,

B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1 + 0.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1 + 0.061)^7}]

or, B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1.061)^7}]

or, B_{0} = [128 * \frac{0.3393}{0.061}] + 1,321.3635

or, B_{0} = [128 * 5.5623] + 1,321.3635

or, B_{0} = $711.9738 + 1,321.3635

Therefore, value of the bond = $2,033.33
