Answer:

The company will save $10,500 every year.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Supply purchases 50,000 boxes of pens every year.

Ordering costs are $100 per order.

Carrying costs are $0.40 per box.

Management has determined that the EOQ is 5,000 boxes.

The vendor now offers a quantity discount of $0.20 per box if the company buys pens in order sizes of 10,000 boxes.

Cost per order 1= 5000*0.40 + 100= $2,100

Total cost= 2,100* 10= $21,000

Cost per order 2= 10000*0.40 + 100 - 10000*0.2= 2,100

Total cost= 2,100*5= $10,500

We don't have any information on the cost of having inventory. It is cheaper to make bigger orders and save money ordering costs and take advantage of the discount.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

SYSTEM A

Explanation:

Given the following :

First option :

Skip design = No net gain or loss

System A:

Additional sales of $50,000 under good condition

Additional sales of $10,000 under bad condition

System B:

Increase sale by $20,000 under both good and bad condition

Cost of system development = $25,000

Good condition are twice as likely to occur as bad condition

Hence, we have : good, good, bad

Probability of good = 2/3 = 0.667

Probability of bad = 1/3 = 0.333

We can calculate the Expected monetary Value of the three options :

First option:

Skip design : Expected monetary Value = $0

Second option (SYSTEM A) :

Profit from good condition :

Additional sales - system cost = ($50,000 - $25,000) =$25, 000

Loss from bad condition :

($25,000 - $10,000) = - $15,000

Expected monetary value:

(0.667 * 25000) + (0.33 * - 15000)

$16675 - $4950

= $11,680

Third option (SYSTEM B) :

Additional sales - system cost

$20,000 - $25,000 = - $5,000

From the expected monetary value obtained for the three options, System A is the best option with $11,680

Flounder Company purchased a delivery truck for $33,000 on January 1, 2020. The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,000, a
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Through straight line method

In year 2020 =3100

In year 2021 = 3100

Through double declining method

In year 2020=6600

In year 2021= 5280

Through activity based

in year 2020=4544

in year 2021=3366

Explanation:

Through straight line method

Formula is (Cost-salvage)/Useful years

So,

Cost of good is $33000

Salvage amount is $2000

Number of useful years 10

Putting the values

(33000-2000)/10

3100

As, this is straight line method, depreciation for the next year (2021) would also remain same. 3100

Through double declining method

Formula is 2* depreciation rate

so, 2* 1/10

double declining rate is 1/5

So, 33000*1/5= 6600

6600 for 2020

Next year (2021),

Now we would subtract the amount of 6600 (already depreciated) from the 33000.

So, 33000-6600= 26400

Applying the rate, 26400*1/5 = 5280

So, next year 5280

Through activity based

we depreciate the truck according to its usage

So, in first year it was used 13800 miles. Maximum it can be used for 100,000 miles

First year 13800/100000= 13.8% used

we depreciate then 33000*13.8%= 4554

So, in 2020 4554

Next year (2021)

It was driven 10200 which is 10200/100000= 10.2%*33000

So, 0.102*33000= 3366

In 2021, depreciation of machine according to the activity based system was 3366
