A cycle or series of cycles of economic expansion and contraction.
Answer:
Order size = 23 cars
The number of orders = 23
Explanation:
The economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order size that reduces the balance of holding and ordering cost. It is to be noted that at EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.
The EOQ is computed as shown below;
= √ 2 × Co × D)/Ch
Co = Ordering cost
D = Annual demand
Ch = Carrying cost
EOQ = √ 2 × 500 × 529 / 1,000
EOQ = 23
Number of cars to be ordered per time, I.e optimal order size = 23
Order size = 23 cars
2. The number of times orders should be placed per year would be calculated as;
Number of orders = Annual demand / Order size
Number of orders = 529 / 23
Number of orders = 23
Answer:
b.used to evaluate a company's liquidity and short-term debt paying ability.
Explanation:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year. It tells investors and analysts how a company can maximize the current assets on its balance sheet to satisfy its current debt and other payables.
The current ratio is sometimes referred to as the “working capital” ratio and helps investors understand more about a company’s ability to cover its short-term debt with its current assets.
A company with a current ratio less than one does not, in many cases, have the capital on hand to meet its short-term obligations if they were all due at once, while a current ratio greater than one indicates the company has the financial resources to remain solvent in the short-term.
