Answer:

The computations are shown below:

Explanation:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{280}\times \text{\$45}}{\text{\$0.48}}}

= 229 units

The carrying cost is come from

= $2.40 × 20%

b. Time between placement of orders is

= Economic order quantity ÷Annual demand

= 229 ÷ 280

= 0.8179 years

So,

= 0.8179 × 365 days

= 298.53 days

We assume 365 days in a year

c. The average annual cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to

= Holding cost + ordering cost

= (Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × Holding cost)  + (Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost)

= (229 units ÷ 2 × $0.48) + (280 ÷ 229 units × $45)

= $54.96 + $55.02

= $109.98

d)   Now the reorder level is

= Demand × lead time + safety stock

where, Demand equal to

= Expected demand ÷ total number of weeks in a year

= 280 pounds ÷ 52 weeks

= 5.38461

So, the reorder point would be  

=  5.38461 × 3 + $0

= 16.15 pounds

givi [52]

Answer:

Mostly Preventive Controls  and feedback Controls

Explanation:

For this case is important to conduct preventive and feedback controls.

The definition of preventive control is "Controls that are used to keep a loss or an error from occurring". And is improtant to do these controls continuosly in order to ensure that the ethical behavior is accomplished by all the people analyzed.

The definition of feed back controls is "a process that owners and manager uses to evaluate if their teams meet the stated goals at the end of a production process"

And for this case these two controls are so important when we want to facilitate check ethical behavior since the conduct is something that needs to be measured in all the time in order to ensure the condition for any employee.

A coin sold at auction in 2017 for $1,965,500. The coin had a face value of $5 when it was issued in 1794 and had previously bee
aksik [14]

Answer:

0.0642 or 6.42%

Explanation:

The period 't' between the year when the coin was issued, 1794, and 1971 is:

t=1971-1794 \\t=177\ years

If the coin had a value of $5 and after a period of t=177 years it was worth $305,000, the annual tax rate by which the coin appreciated is determined by:

305,000 = 5*(1+r)^{177}\\r=\sqrt[177]{61,000}-1\\r=0.0642=6.42\%

The annual rate was 0.0642 or 6.42%.

Inessa [10]

Answer: $5,150

Explanation:using the information given above,

For every $1 contributed by the employee, employer adds 50cent.

Employer contribution ends after employee contributes $2500 to the 401(k) plan.

Last year:

Ian's weekly contribution = $75

Number of weeks in a year = 52

Ian's total contribution ($75 × 52) = $3,900

Ian's Employer's total contribution:

$0.5 × $2500 = $1,250

Therefore total contribution last year :

$3900 + $1250 = $5,150
