What is the bullwhip effect and how does it relate to lack of coordination in a supply chain?

Business
1 answer:
rewona [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The bullwhip effect happens when retailers or other members of the supply chain overestimate a sudden increase in demand, and this causes a chain reaction in all the other participants of the supply chain that start requesting higher quantities of goods or materials for production. E.g. the fidget spinner was a very popular fad and its producers probably didn't anticipate how large the demand would be. Once the product became extremely popular, everyone wanted to sell fidget spinners. This caused an increase in the order quantities of all the supply chain. Once the fad faded out, all this momentum stopped and many stores, distributors, wholesalers, and even factories were left with huge unsold stocks of fidget spinners.

When the supply chain is well coordinated, there is little chance for some retailers or distributors to over react and want more product just in case. If your supply is guaranteed, then it would take some extraordinary increase in demand to make you want to increase your purchase orders. But if your supply chain is not well coordinated, you might fear that you will lose a lot of sales and other competitors will make them. Then you get anxious and start ordering large quantities.

Walmart is thinking about offering a 25% discount on a brand of shoes. If the elasticity of demand is two, then the discount wou
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A.50%.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand formula is:

PED = Change in quantity demanded / change in price

plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain:

2 = X / 25%

Now, simply solve for X:

2 x 25% = X

50% = X

Thus, the total quantity demanded would increase by 50%

Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced −Units sold

Thus,

= 0 units + 5,500 units −4,350 units

= 1,150 units

Formula for Value of ending inventory under variable costing

= Unit in ending inventory × Variable production cost

= 1,150 units × $13.50 per unit

ohaa [14]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of missing amount for each letter is provided below:-

                                           Case A           Case B

Direct material used        a $49,350      $93,400

Direct Labor                      $56,000          $146,100

Manufacturing overhead

applied                              $44,800         d $116,880

Total manufacturing

cost                                 $150,150           e $356,380

Work in process 1/1/20  b $55,750        $16,800

Total cost of work in

process                         $205,900         f $373,180

Work in process

12/31/20                       c $11,600          $15,400

Cost of goods

manufactured              $194,300            g $357,780

Working Note

a. Direct materials used = Total manufacturing costs - Manufacturing overhead applied - Direct labor

= $150,150 - ($56,000 + $44,800)

= $150,150 - $100,800

= $49,350

b. Works in process 1/1/20 = Total cost of works in process - Total manufacturing costs

= $205,900 - $150,150

= $55,750

c. Works in process 12/31/20   = Total cost of works in process - Cost of goods manufactured

= $205,900 - $194,300

= $11,600

d. Manufacturing overhead applied = $44,800 ÷ $56,000

= 80%

For case B the manufacturing overhead applied = 80% × $146,100

= $116,880

e. Total manufacturing costs = Direct materials used + Direct Labor + Manufacturing overhead applied

= $93,400 + $146,100 + $116,880

= $356,380

f. Total cost of work in process = Total manufacturing costs + Works in process 1/1/20

= $356,380 + $16,800

= $373,180

g.  Cost of goods manufactured = Total cost of work in process - Works in process 31/12/20

= $373,180 - $15,400

= $357,780

Therefore to reach the missing amounts we simply use the working notes.
