Tammi’s Truck Stop sells Seat-o-Nails cushions, which are specially designed to keep drivers awake on the road. Her accessories

supplier makes deliveries every Tuesday, at which times she can get as many cushions as she wants (the supplier’s truck carries a large number of cushions). The cushions cost $40 wholesale, and Tammi sells them for $65. She also uses a 35 percent interest rate to evaluate the cost of holding inventory. Today it is Tuesday, Tammi has 12 cushions in stock, and the supplier has just arrived. Assuming that the weekly demand is normally distributed with mean 35 and standard deviation 10, answer the questions below. (hint: use newsvendor model)How many cushions should Tammi buy if sales are lost when she runs out of stock during the week?Reconsider part (a) if unmet demand is not lost but it is back ordered, and it costs Tammi $12 to mail the cushion to the customer.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The cost of underage(Cu) will be the opportunity cost for lost sales which will be:

= 65 - 40

= 25

The cost of overage(Co) will be the holding cost which will be:

= 40 x 35%/52

= 40 × 0.35/52

= 40 × 0.0067308

= 0.269

The Critical ratio will be:

= Cu/(Cu + Co)

= 25/(0.269+25)

= 0.9894

For the optimal condition,

F(z) = Critical ratio = 0.9894,

therefore, z = normsinv (0.9894) = 2.30

Therefore, the optimal stock will be calculated as:

= Mean demand + (z × Stdev)

= 35 + (2.30 × 10)

= 35 + 23

= 58 units.

We should note that Tammi already has 12 cushions in stock, therefore the order quantity will be:

= 58 - 12

= 46 units

(b) Cu = 12

Co = 0.269

Critical ratio will be:

= Cu/(Co + Cu)

= 12 / (12 + 0.269)

= 0.9781

Therefore, z = normsinv(0.9781) = 2.0

Then, the optimal stock will be:

= 35 + (2.0 × 10)

= 35+20

= 55 units

We should note that Tammi already has 12 cushions in stock, therefore the order quantity will be:

= 55 - 12

= 43 units

9. Problems and Applications Q9 Suppose that a borrower and a lender agree on the nominal interest rate to be paid on a loan. Th
den301095 [7]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.

If the nominal interest rate was made with inflation in mind and this inflation is less than anticipated, the real rate will be higher not lower than expected.

For instance: Assume the nominal rate is 8% and the two parties assumed inflation would be 4%. Real rate would be:

= 8 - 4 = 4%

If inflation is instead 2%, real rate would be:

= 8 - 2 = 6%

Real rate would be higher than anticipated.

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.

Which of the following is a condition necessary to exclude an obligation from current liabilities? Entry field with incorrect an
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The answer is: Obligation that has a distant due date exceeding company's operating cycle.  

Explanation:

A current liability is a financial obligation due within one year (or one normal operation cycle).

So a financial obligation that has a due date that exceeds a company´s operating cycle should have been directly classified as a long term liability (or a non current liability) in the first place. It simply is not a current liability that is changed into a long term liability, it always was a long term liability.

The other options represent the steps necessary for turning a current liability into a long term liability.

  1. Intend to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.
  2. Demonstrate the ability to complete the refinancing.
  3. Subsequently refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.
