Answer:
safety stock = 33 desks
reorder point = 133 desks
Explanation:
safety stock = (Z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand) + (Z-score x standard deviation of lead time x average demand)
- Z-score for 98% confidence level = 2.326
- standard deviation of demand = 10
- √lead time = √2 = 1.414
- we are not given any standard deviation of lead time, so we can assume that it is 0
safety stock = (2.326 x 1.414 x 10) + (2.326 x 0 x 50) = 32.89 ≈ 33 desks
reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (50 x 2) + 33 = 133
(25000x4) + (10000x6) = 260,000
260000- 150000 = 110000
6 years payback period
Answer:
9.75%
Explanation:
EPS = Earning per share = $5
DPS = Dividend per share $1.25
ROI = return on investment = 13%, or 0.13
RR = Retention rate = (EPS - DPS)/EPS = ($5 - $1.25)/$5 = 0.75, or 75%
Growth = RR * ROI = 13% * 75% = 9.75%
Therefore, the expected growth rate for KTI's dividend is closest to 9.75%
