Answer:

the answer is =32291.67.

The firm should take the advantage of the new quantity as the total cost is lesser as compared with the  old supplier. the firm can save $340 by approximately taking the advantage of the new quantity discount.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Annual demand D = 5000 boxes

The Cost C = $6.4 per each box

The Carrying cost H = 25% of the unit cost = 0.25*6.4 = 1.6

The ordering costs S = $25.00

Now,

EOQ =√2DS/H

EOQ =√(2*5000 * 25)/1.6

Thus,

EOQ =Q = 395.28

The Total cost = DC + (Q/2)H + (D/Q)S

= 5000*6.4 + (395.28 /2) 1.6 + (5000/395.28)25

Then,

T = 32000 + 316.23 + 316.23

= 32632.46

So,

The new supplier has offered to sell the same item for the amount of  $6.00 if Q = 3,000 boxes

Hence,

The total cost = 5000 * 6 + (3000/2)1.5 + (5000/3000)25

= 30000 + 2250 + 41.67

= 32291.67

Therefore, The firm should take the  advantage of the new quantity as the total cost is lesser as compared with the  old supplier. the firm can save $340 by approximately taking the advantage of the new quantity discount.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$6,000

Explanation:

A deductible is the amount Conor has to pay before his medical bills and prescriptions start getting coverage from his insurance.

A co-pay is a fixed amount the insured has to pay for certain medical services.

Step 2: 20% of 8,000 or 0.20 times 8,000 = 1,600

Step 3: add $2,000 (the deductible you have to pay) and $1,600 (the co-pay)

Total amount that Conor will have to pay for the hospital: $3,600
