Answer:

EOQ 30,984 (no discounts)

with discounts: 40,000

Explanation:

To know the best order quantity we use the Economic Order Quantity:

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}

<u>Where:</u>

D = annual demand = 20,000 per month x 12 months = 240,000 anual demand

S= setup cost = ordering cost $400

H= Holding Cost = $1 x 20% = 0.20

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 240,000 \times 400}{0.2}}

EOQ = 30,983.86677

EOQ = 30,984

Now, considering there is a discount, we must check the EOQ against the next discount bracket.

below EOQ the order has less discount or equal discount, so the EOC should provide better cost.

<u>At EOQ:</u>

240,000 x 0.98 = 235,200

240,000/30,984 = 7.75 order per year x $400 = 3,100

30,984/2 = 15,492 average inventory x 0.2 holding cost = 3,098.4

Total Cost: 241.398,4‬

<u>At 40,000 the cost is 0.96 per plywood:</u>

240,000 x 0.96 = 230,400

240,000/40,000 = 12 order x $ 400 = $  4,800

40,000/2 = 20,000 average inventory x 0.2 holding cost: $  4,000

Total Cost: 239,200

<u />

after taking the discount into account the best deal is to take orders for 40,000 units

Increasing this will increase the holding cost, thus increasing the inventory cost.

Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity firm with 48,000 shares of stock outstanding. The stock has a beta of 1.19 and a standard devia
user100 [1]

Answer:

The firm set as the required rate of return for the project is 14.732%

Explanation:

For computing the required rate of return, the following formula should be used which is shown below:

= Risk free rate of return + (Beta × market risk premium) + adjustment

where,

Risk free rate of return is 4.1%

Beta is 1.19

Market risk premium is 7.8%

Adjustment is 1.35%

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value wold be equal to

= 4.1% + (1.19 × 7.8%)+ 1.35%

= 4.1% + 9.28% + 1.35%

= 14.732%

The standard deviation is irrelevant. Therefore, it is not considered in the computation part.

Hence, the firm set as the required rate of return for the project is 14.732%
