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.

If Rajiv's Fire Engines were a competitive firm instead and $125,000 were the market price for an engine, decreasing its price f
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

b) False

Explanation:

The price reduction will stimulate demand for Rajiv's Fire Engines, in the short run, before competitors catch up or even overtake the firm with price reduction strategies of their own.  This will in turn drive sales and the production quantity to increase marginally in the short-run.  However, in the long-run, because the market is competitive, Rajiv Company will not totally benefit from the price reduction as the price war intensifies among the competitors.

The Highfield Company is going through a five-year of fast growth at 20% initially, and then it will grow at a perpetual rate of
slava [35]

Answer:

P0 = $66.6429 rounded off to $66.64

Option c is the correct answer

Explanation:

Using the two stage growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula to calculate the price of the stock today is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +  [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n]

Where,

  • g1 is the initial growth rate
  • g2 is the constant growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return

P0 = 2* (1+0.2) / (1+0.1)  +  2 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.1)^2  +  2 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.1)^3  

+  2 * (1+0.2)^4 / (1+0.1)^4  +  2 * (1+0.2)^5 / (1+0.1)^5  +

[(2 * (1+0.2)^5 * (1+0.04)  /  (0.1 - 0.04)) / (1+0.1)^5]

P0 = $66.6429 rounded off to $66.64

On June 1, Aaron Company purchased equipment at a cost of $120,000 that has a depreciable cost of $90,000 and an estimated usefu
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

It is $30,000(C)

Explanation:

Depreciable cost = $90,000

Using straight-line method,

Annual depreciation = $90,000/3

                                  = $30,000.

Hence, depreciation expense at the final year of service is $30,000

We cannot make use of entire cost of equipment of $120,000 because it seemed the company wanted to sell its scrap value for  $30,000. Hence, this has been used to reduced it cost to $90,000 which is a depreciable cost .

Yes, effective leadership involves chosing the right style for the situation. Every leadership situation has different variables and followers. Think of a coach that fails with one team and wins with another.
