Target purchases home goods made by a supplier in China. Target's stores in the United States sell 200,000 units of home goods e

ach month. Each unit costs $10 and the company has an annual holding cost of 20 percent. Placing a replenishment order incurs clerical costs of $500/order. The shipping company charges $5,000 as a fixed cost per shipment along with a variable cost of $0.10 per unit shipped. What is the optimal order size? What is the annual holding cost of the optimal policy? How many orders per year does Target place? What is the annual variable transportation cost? What is the annual clerical cost?

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

Answer:

Accounting rate of return = 20.53%

Explanation:

<em>The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.</em>

The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:

Accounting rate of return

= Annual operating income/Average investment × 100

Average investment = (Initial cost + scrap value)/2

                                     = 30,000/2= 15,000

Accounting rate of return = ( 3080/15,000) × 100 = 20.53%

Accounting rate of return = 20.53%

JUJU's dividend next year is expected to be $1.50. It is trading at $45 and is expected to grow at 9 percent per year. What is J
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

3.33%; 9%

Explanation:

Given that,

Expected dividend next year = $1.50

Trading at = $45

Expected growth rate per year = 9 percent

Dividend yield = (Expected dividend next year ÷ Trading amount) × 100

                        = ($1.50 ÷ $45) × 100

                        = 0.0333 × 100

                        = 3.33%

The capital gain of JUJU is same as the expected growth rate i.e 9 percent.

In this simulation, theoretical utilization of the intensive care unit (ICU) is calculated as the flow rate of patients that arr
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The theoretical utilization of the ICU is:

= 0.25 or 25%

Explanation:

Inter-arrival time or flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU = 4 hours

Mean length of stay = 6 hours

ICU's capacity to serve customers in 6 hours = 4*6 = 24 bed-hours

Total demand = 6 hours

Therefore, the theoretical utilization = flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU in a given unit of time divided by ICU's capacity to serve customers in that same unit of time

= 6 hours/24 bed-hours

= 0.25
