Answer:

1. Annual demand ( D) = 100,000 bags

Ordering cost per order (Co) = $15

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 15% x  $2 = $0.30

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                H

EOQ = √<u>2 x 100,000 x $15</u>

                  0.30

EOQ = 3,162 units

2. Maximum inventory

   = Safety stock + EOQ

   = 1,500 + 3,162

   = 4,662 units

3. Average inventory

   = EOQ/2

   = <u>3,162</u>

         2

   = 1,581 units

4. Number of order

   = <u>Annual demand</u>

            EOQ

   = <u>100,000</u>

        3,162

  = 32 times

       

Explanation:

EOQ is the square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by  holding cost per item per annum.

Maximum inventory is the aggregate of safety stock and EOQ.

Average inventory is economic order quantity divided by 2

Number of order is the ratio of annual demand to economic order quantity.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Critics of globalization claim that, as globalization increases, countries' sovereignty (the freedom of national officials to act locally and without externally imposed restrictions) is diminished because as some of them say 'it is an economic tsunami', in the sense that - people of other countries 'invade' a country in the name of globalization and the locals of that country are expected to curtail their local customs and individual behavior to accommodate the foreigners. Also foreigners take some of the jobs that are available in the country to the 'detriment' of the locals

Secondly, 'the resulting growth consistently benefits the environment', because the gains of migration are not shared commonly among the locals, rather they could be invested in environmental projects to boost Tourism and attract more foreigners.

Thirdly, the statement that 'Some people lose both relatively and absolutely, and greater insecurity increases a personal stress.'is true because in cities like London and most other European capitals we have seen an increase in crime alongside the rise in immigration and globalization
