3. Prefab, a furniture manufacturer, uses 20,000 square feet of plywood per month. Its trucking company charges Prefab $400 per

shipment, independent of the quantity purchased. The manufacturer offers an all unit quantity discount with a price of $1 per square foot for orders under 20,000 square feet, $0.98 per square foot for orders between 20,000 square feet and 40,000 square feet, and $0.96 per square foot for orders larger than 40,000 square feet. Prefab incurs a holding cost of 20 percent.

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.

If the domestic demand curve is Equal 20p Superscript negative 0.5​, the domestic supply curve is Equal 5p Superscript 0.5​, and
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$52

$ 1.33

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced export
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

Explanation:

Given domestic demand curve, S(p) = 20p⁻⁰°⁵

the domestic supply curve S(p)= 5p⁰°⁵

world price is ​$7.00

using  calculus to determine the changes in consumer​ surplus

by consumer surplus means in this case supply exceeds demand

we establish the equilibrium point where the supply and demand functions meet or are equal

solving 20p⁻⁰°⁵ = 5p⁰°⁵

     20/5 = p⁰°⁵/p⁻⁰°⁵

       4 = p⁰°⁵⁺⁰°⁵

      4= p = q which is the quantity produced

     

consumer surplus =  maximum price willing to pay - Actual price

                             = ∫⁴₀  dp dp - p* q

                               =  ∫⁴₀20p⁻⁰°⁵ dp- 7* 4

                              = 20∫⁴₀p⁻⁰°⁵ dp -28

                              = 20/0.5 p⁰°⁵- 28

                              = 40 *4⁰°⁵ - 28 =  $52

producer surplus = it is a measure of producer welfare. It is measured as the difference between what producers are willing and able to supply a good for and the price they actually receive

thus  producer  surplus = p* q - ∫⁴₀  d(s) dp

                                         = 7 * 4 - ∫⁴₀  5p⁰°⁵  dp

                                         = 28 - 5 ∫⁴₀   p⁰°⁵    dp

                                         = 28 -5 *2/3  p¹°⁵  

                                          = 28 -5 *2/3  4¹°⁵

                                          =$ 1.33

welfare from eliminating free trade

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced exports
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

Ghella [55]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Simple random sampling gives each member in the entire population an equal opportunity to be included in the sample. The technique removes bias in the selection procedure. It applies where a small number would adequately represent the entire population.

The procedure described in this case is a deviation of simple random sampling. It is stratified random sampling.

In stratified random sampling, the population is first divided into subgroups based on shared characteristics. The researcher uses simple random sampling to select representatives of each group in the sample population.  The techniques ensure each group is fairly represented in the research.  

Subdividing vehicles by their make is creating strata or subgroups.

Deep earth extraction inc. operates a facility near estuary bay. discharging waste from the facility into the bay can result in:
icang [17]

Discharging waste from the facility into the bay can result in a. <u>penalties </u><u>and damages</u>.

Many companies are known to discharge their wastes in an estuary bay. Such companies are subjected to heavy penalties by the government and also as there are aquatic organisms in a bay, the toxic compounds from the water can cause damaging results to the bay ecosystem.

Hence, companies such as Deep earth extraction inc, they discharge waste in the bay, and there are penalties and damages that they have to afford due to the risk they had caused to the bay. All companies should make sure to have a proper disposal system where other life forms and the earth is not damaged by the toxic wastes.

LO 4.5Why are the overhead costs first accumulated in the manufacturing overhead account instead of in the work in process inven
vivado [14]

Answer  Explanation:

For the manufacturing overhead occurs during the manufacturing process but unlike wages, the actual values are unknow thus, we cannot anticipate in a guarantee amount. Hence, the cost accounting works as follows:

It will stablish a predetermined overhead rate which will be charged against WIP based on another factor which can be measure (like working hours, machine hours, among others)

Then, during the period as the actual cost occurs they will be charged into manufacturing overhead account.

At the end of the period, we will be able to determinate the actual cost and adjust COGS, WIP and FINISHED GOOD if needed to represent the actual cost of the inventory produced.
