. A manufacturer uses manages its inventory using fixed quantity system and wants to be able to fully supply its customers at le

ast 50 out of the 52 weeks of the year. The product they sell has a daily demand of 250 units with a standard deviation of 50 units. Due to insurance requirements, this company cannot hold more than an average of 100 units as a safety stock. What is the maximum lead time in days that they need to require to their supplier?

Answer:

Lead time needed is approximately 1 day

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the maximum number of lead days needed by a manufacturer to give a supplier

We proceed as follows;

They want to be able to fully supply the customer at least 50 out of the 52 weeks.

Mathematically; service probability = 50/52 = 0.96 or 96%

At 96% service level value of Z = 1.75

Standard deviation of daily demand (σd) = 50 units

Safety stock = 100 units

Suppose lead time = L

Safety stock = Z × σ d × √L

100 = 1.75 × 50 × √L

=100 = 87.5 × √L

√L = 100/87.5

√L = 1.142857142

L = 1.142857142^2

L = 1.306122448

E3-17 (Algo) Calculating Equivalent Units, Unit Costs, and Cost Assigned (Weighted-Average Method) [LO 3-3] Vista Vacuum Company
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1.  materials = 18,400 units and conversion = 15,463 units

2. materials = $2.22 and conversion = $3.76

3. units transferred out = $90,298 and units still in process = $8,691

Explanation:

Units Completed and Transferred = Opening Work In Process Inventory + Started during the Period - Closing Work In Process

                                                          = 3,300 + 15,100 -  3,300

                                                          = 15,100

<u>First Calculate the Equivalent units of Production in Respect of Materials and Conversion Costs :</u>

1. Materials

Closing Work In Process (3,300 × 100%)                    = 3,300

Completed and Transferred (15,100 × 100%)              = 15,100

Equivalent units of Production for Raw Materials      = 18,400

2. Conversion Costs

Closing Work In Process (3,300 × 11%)                              =     363

Completed and Transferred (15,100 × 100%)                    =  15,100

Equivalent units of Production for Conversion Costs      = 15,463

<u>Then calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion :</u>

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Costs (Opening + Current Year) ÷ Total Equivalent Units

1. Materials

Cost per equivalent unit = ($10,500  + $30,400) ÷ 18,400

                                        = $2.22

2. Conversion Costs

Cost per equivalent unit = ($9,600  + $48,500) ÷ 15,463

                                        = $3.76

<em>Total Cost per equivalent unit = Materials + Conversion Costs</em>

                                                  = $2.22 + $3.76

                                                  = $5.98

<u>Then, determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and the units still in process</u>

Units transferred out = units completed and transferred ×  Total Cost per equivalent unit

<em>                                   = </em>15,100 × $5.98

                                  = $90,298

Units Still In Process :

Materials (3,300 × $2.22)             = $7,326

Conversion Costs ( 363 × $3.76) = $1,365

Total                                               = $8,691

Grandiose Growth has a dividend growth rate of 20%. The discount rate is 15%. The end-of-year dividend will be $3 per share. Wha
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The present value of dividend to be paid at the end of year 1, year 2, and year 3 are $2.60, $2.95, and $2.84 respectively.

Explanation:

The end of the year dividend is $3 per share.

The dividend growth rate is 20%.

The discount rate is 15%.

PV of dividend to be paid at the end of year 1

= \frac{end\ of\ the\ year\ dividend}{(1+discount\ rate)^n}

= \frac{3}{(1 + .15)^1}

= \frac{3}{1.15}

=$2.60

PV of dividend to be paid at the end of year 2

=\frac{end\ of\ the\ year\ dividend}{(1 + discount\ rate)^n}

=\frac{3\times (1+.20)}{(1+.15)^2}

=\frac{3.60}{1.322}

=$2.72

PV of dividend to be paid at the end of year 3

=\frac{end\ of\ the\ year\ dividend}{(1 + discount\ rate)^n}

=\frac{3\times (1+.20)^2}{(1+.15)^3}

=\frac{4.32}{1.52}

=$2.84

Stock A has an expected return of 15 percent and the standard deviation of its returns is 20 percent. Stock B has an expected re
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Stock A will be preferable for the risk averse Investors.

Explanation:

The reason is that risk is the measure of the vulnerability of the returns on the investment made which means if the return on the investment has greater vulnerability of returns then it is highly risky. So the risk averse investor would prefer stock A with lower risk.

(Special comments:

It must be noted that the higher return shows that the investment is also highly risky because nobody is going to give you more with low risk associated investments. This means lower return on Stock B is also preferable here for the risk averse investor because it carries lower risks.)
