Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The answer for each requirement is given separately below.

Explanation:

What is the economic production quantity (EPQ)?

EPQ = ((Annual Requirement * setup cost *2)/Carrying cost per unit)^(1/2)

= ((30,000 * 50 *2)/3^(1/2)

= 1000 Units

a. What is the average inventory level for this optimum production quantity?

Average Inventory level = EPQ/2 = 500 units

b. How many production setups would there be in a year?

Production setups = Annual Usage /EPQ = 30 set ups

C. What is the optimal length of production run in days

length of production = Total Requirement/production per day

= 30,000/275

=110 days approx

d. What would be the savings in annual inventory Cost if setup costs can be reduced to US$40 per setup?

If set up cost reduce to $40 than EPQ = 895

So Set up cost = 30,000/ 895 * 40 = 1,360

Carrying cost = 883/2 *3 = 1,325

Total Cost = $ 2,685 -A

If set up cost $50 than EPQ = 1000

So Set up cost = 30,000/ 1000 * 50 = 1,500

Carrying cost = 1000/2 *3 = 1,500

Total Cost = $ 3,000- B

Saving = B-A = 315 Dollars

The five generic types of competitive strategies include

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) low-cost provider strategies, broad differentiation strategies, best-cost provider strategies.

Explanation:

A competitive advantage allows one company to produce or sell goods more effectively than another company. For that reason, entrepreneurs always try to develop competitive strategies that help them maintain that advantage.

According to researcher researcher Michael E. Porter, there are at least four types of competitive strategies: differentiation, cost leader, low cost approach, and low cost differentiation. Each entrepreneur can use one of these standard strategies or develop his own strategy since flexibility is an important characteristic of competitive strategies, although the reality is that most companies use one of these four generic strategies.

On January 1, 2017, Whitefeather Industries issued 300, $1,000 face value bonds. The bonds have a five-year life and pay interes

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$15000

Explanation:

All types of bonds have some common characteristics which include;

- A face/par value

- A coupon rate (interest rate).

- Either redeemable/irredeemable or convertible.

The face value of one bond is $1000 so the total value of 300 bonds would be $300,000 (300×$1000). In this example these are redeemable bonds which means Whitefeather Industries would be liable to payback the capital amount of bonds after five years (maturity date).

The coupon rate (i.e interest) is charged on Par value. So the Interest can be calculated as $300,000×10% = $30,000 per year.

In this question interest is payable semi-annually, therefore The amount of interest that occurs on December 31, 2017 is $15000 (For the last six months - July 1st till Dec 31st; $30000×6÷12).

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be A, Onions.

Explanation:

Meat, vegetables, herbs, etc are simmered with water on a low to medium flame to make a broth. Broths are usually thin and after some time, due to simmering, it starts to get body. The nutrients in the meat or vegetables or herbs start to mix in the water and give it a delicious taste. But the broth is still thin and needs to be thickened. So in order to make the broth thick, we need to add onions into the broth. Now when it will cook on a slow flame, the broth will get a hearty body and all the nutrients of the broth will make an appetizing dish.
