algol13

Answer: 1. 18 times

2. Park is in better position

The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.

Calculating would therefore be,

= $6,120,000 /$340,000

= 18 times.

2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.

mash [69]

Answer:

100 times per year

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Annual Demand , D = 320,000 boxes

Cost of storing one box, C = $10

Plant set up cost for production, c = $160

Now,

The optimal ordering quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2cD}{C}$

The optimal ordering quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2(160)(32,000)}{10}$

= 3200

Therefore,

Number of timer in year company produce boxes = $\frac{\textup{Demand}}{\textup{Optimal order quantity}}$

= $\frac{\textup{320,000}}{\textup{3,200}}$

= 100 times per year
