Answer:
The answer is False. By cutting the variance of the demand during lead time to 1/2 its original value while maintaining the same lead times, the new safety stock will also drop to 1/2 its original value.
Explanation:
Safety stock is a form of inventory management that provides an additional unit of an item held as a buffer i order to mitigate risk of running out of stock.
A reorder point provides a buffer of time to restock items when stock is running out. It helps to reduce operational costs and chaos that may arise such as rush fees owed to suppliers. It makes the use of a warehouse space more efficient.
Suppose we are a distributor that uses safety stock and a reorder point for inventory management. If we can find a more consistent manufacturer that will maintain the same mean lead times while cutting the variance of the demand during lead time to 1/2 its original value, the new safety stock that we need to carry to achieve the same service level will also drop to 1/2 its original value.
Answer:
29,394 units
Explanation:
The formula for break even point is given as Fixed cost / Contribution margin.
Where;
Contribution margin = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit
Given that ;
Fixed cost = $194,000
Unit selling price = $14.90
Unit variable cost = $8.30
Therefore;
BEP(units) = $194,000 / $14.90 - $8.30
= $194,000 / $6.6
= 29,394 units

Answer: Cost
Explanation:
Regression allows for us to be able to predict the cost of a certain level of production based on past costs and cost behavior.
It works by using the basic formula:
y = mx + c
Y = total cost
M = variable cost
x = volume of production
c = fixed cost
Using this graphical method, the cost of production can be estimated and is therefore very useful in capital budgeting.
Remaining part of question;
<em>Is the sender using an indirect approach in an ethical or unethical manner?</em>
Answer:
<u>Unethical manner</u>
Explanation:
Note that, it was mentioned that the message informing employees of this change used an <em>indirect approach</em> and focused on the environmental benefits of going paperless.
Rather, it would have been ethical if the message honestly told employees that printing and copying costs have skyrocketed at the company, and the company will begin charging employees for all hard copies of documents related to internal use.
