The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in produ

cing billiard balls. she knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. she also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four (4) days. what is the economic order quantity for resin?

Answer:

EOQ is 500kg

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the economic order quantity for resin.

To calculate the economic order quantity, we employ the use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically;

EOQ = √2DS/H

where D is annual demand = 365 * 50 = 18,250

S = order costs = 100

H = Annual holding cost = 365 * 0.04 = 14.6

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

EOQ = √(2 * 18,250 * 100)/14.6 = √250,000

EOQ = 500kg

Answer: 500kg

Explanation:

GIVEN the following

Daily usage = 50kg

Holding cost = $0.04 per day(in dollar)

Order cost = $100 per order

Applying the ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY FORMULA(EOQ) :

EOQ = sqrt[ ( 2 × A × O) ÷ H ]

Where :

A = Annual material used = 50 × 365(1 year) = 18,250

O = Cost of order = $100

H = Holding cost = $14.6

THEREFORE ;

EOQ = sqrt[ (2 × 18,250 × $100) ÷ $14.6]

EOQ = sqrt[ $3,650,000 ÷ $14.6]

EOQ = sqrt( 250,000)

EOQ = 500kg

MacDonald Products, Inc., of Clarkson, New York, has the option of (a) proceeding immediately with production of a new top-

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The EMV for option a is $5,679,100

The EMV for option b is $5,719,200

Therefore, option b has the highest expected monetary value.

Explanation:

The EMV of the project is the Expected Money Value of the Project.

This value is given by the sum of each expected earning/cost multiplied by each probability.

So

a) proceeding immediately with production of a new top-of-the-line stereo TV that has just completed prototype testing.

There are these following probabilities:

77% probability of selling 100,000 units at $610 each.

23% probability of selling 70,000 units at $610 each.

So

$EMV = 0.77*E_{1} + 0.23*E_{2}$

$E_{1} = 100,000*610 = 6,100,000$

$E_{2} = 70,000*610 = 4,270,000$

$EMV = 0.77*E_{1} + 0.23*E_{2} = 0.77*(6,100,000) + 0.23*(4,270,000) = 5,679,100$

(b) having the value analysis team complete a study.

There are these following probabilities:

74% probability of selling 85,000 units at $720.

26% probability of selling 70,000 units at $720.

The cost of value engineering, at 120,000. So this value is going to be dereased from the EMV.

$EMV = 0.74*E_{1} + 0.26*E_{2} - 120,000$

$E_{1} = 85,000*720 = 6,120,000$

$E_{2} = 70,000*720 = 5,040,000$

$EMV = 0.74*E_{1} + 0.26*E_{2} - 120,000 = 0.74*6,120,000 + 0.26*5,040,000 - 120,000 = 5,719,200$
