Answer:
Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units
Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units
new safety stock = 331
331 = Z * 90 * √10
Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163
Using Normal distribution function, the new confidence interval is 87.76%
Answer: $500
Explanation:
Interest for the period = Amount borrowed * Interest rate * 120/360 days
= 15,000 * 10% * 120/360
= $500
If sales volume increases and all other factors remain constant, then the Margin of safety will increase
Explanation:
The margin for safety (MOS) is described as an overall excess of current or expected revenue, expressed either in terms of currency or in units, or as a percentage of total revenues.
One of the main ways to increase the safety margin is through increasing the gross value per unit (if business conditions are favourable) and by reducing the variable cost per unit of the good. This can be accomplished by rising selling costs.
Answer:
Closing retained earning is $414,540
Explanation:
The Retained Earnings figure can be calculated using the following equation:
Closing Retained Earnings = Opening Retained Earnings + (Sales - Expenses - Dividends)
Here
Opening balance of Retained Earning is $397,620
Revenues is $56,400
Expenses are $33,840
Dividends paid are $5,640
The purchased equipment is not considered here because it is increase in asset not an increase or decrease in revenue or expenses. So it is not considered here.
So by putting values, we have:
Closing Retained Earnings = $397,620 + ($56,400 - $33,840 - $5,640)
Closing Retained Earnings = $414,540
