Your insurance firm processes claims through its two facilities: facility A and facility B. Each month, facility A handles 6,000

claims and incurs in $50,000 fixed costs and $54,000 in variable costs. Each month, facility B handles 5,000 and incurs $174,000 in fixed costs and $60,000 in variable costs. IF you anticipate a decrease in the number of claims, where will you lay off workers?

Answer:

The Facility B will lay off the workers.

Explanation:

For taking any decision, first we have to compute the variable cost per claim and fixed cost per claim

The variable cost per claim is equals to

= Total variable cost ÷ number of claims

For Facility A, the variable cost is equals to

= $54,000 ÷ 6,000 = $9 per claim

For Facility B, the variable cost is equals to

= $60,000 ÷ 5000 = $12 per claim

As fixed cost is remain same, so we don't have to compute the fixed cost because it is given in the question.

Since, in Facility B, the variable cost is $12 per claim and in Facility A, the variable cost is $9 per claim. So, the  Facility B has greater variable cost per claim than Facility A, so the Facility B will lay off the workers if decrease in the number of claims happen.

Hence, Facility B will lay off the workers.

Answer:

B) greater than $30 but less than $40

  • the actual result is $39

Explanation:

the options are missing:

A) less than or equal to $30

B) greater than $30 but less than $40

C) greater than $40 but less than $50

D) greater than $50

we must first calculate 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 = 30
  • √lead time = √5 = 2.23607
  • we are not given any standard deviation of lead time, so we can assume that it is 0

safety stock = (2.326 x √2.23607 x 30) + (2.326 x 0 x 300) = 156.03 ≈ 156 units

the annual holding cost of 156 units = 156 x $0.25 = $39

According to Joseph Schumpeter, the stage that is described above is the Recovery stage.

<h3>What happens in the recovery stage?</h3>

  • Signs of stability will begin to appear.

In the recovery stage, economic activity will start to rise as there will be more production of goods and services.

Unemployment will also begin to drop as more companies hire people to produce. They will in turn increase spending which would further stimulate the economy.
