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.

Hairston Industries has $5 million of debt and $20 million of equity. If Hairston's beta is currently 1.75 and its tax rate is 4
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The un levered beta ( bu) of the company is 1.52

Explanation:

Given information -

Equity  (E) - $20 million

Debt (D) - $5 million

Beta ( levered ) - 1.75

Tax rate ( T ) = 40%

D / E ( Debt to Equity ratio ) = $ 5 million / $20 million = .25

Formula for taking out un levered beta ( bu) is -

Beta levered ( bl ) = Beta un levered ( bu ) [1 + (1 - T ) D / E ]

1.75 = bu [1 + (1 - 40% ) .25

1.75 = bu [1 + .6 x .25 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1 + .15 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1.15 ]

bu = 1.75 / 1.15

bu = 1.52

It may be unethical for a company to refuse to negotiate liability claims for alleged injuries because of a faulty product.​
Mila [183]
True. It may be unethical for a company to refuse to negotiate liability claims for alleged injuries because of a faulty product.

If a company produces and sells a fault product, they are liable for what happens next. If a customer was hurt when using the product correctly, they are at fault. Ethically and morally correct would be to stand up for their product, accept responsibility and help the customer.
