Wood County Hospital consumes 1,000 boxes of bandages per week. The price of bandages is $35 per box, and the hospital operates

52 weeks per year. The cost of processing an order is $15, and the cost of holding one box for a year is 15 percent of the value of the material. a. The hospital orders bandages in lot sizes of 900 boxes. What extra cost does the hospital incur, which it could save by using the EOQ method?

Answer:

= $367.34

Explanation:

<em>Economic order quantity (EOQ)</em><em> is the order quantity that minimizes the balance of holding cost and ordering cost. At the EOQ, the holding costs are equal to the ordering costs.</em>

<em />

EOQ = (2× Co× D)/Ch

Total relevant cost of inventory = ordering cost + Holding cost

Step 1

<em>Total cost of inventory under EOQ </em>

EOQ for Wood County

EOQ = 2√(2× 15 × 1000× 52)/(15%× 35)

 = 545.10 units

<em>ordering cost =( (1000× 52)/ 545.10 ) × 15 = 1,430.90</em>

<em>Holding cost = ( 545.10/ 2)  × 15% × 35 =1,430.90</em>

Total cost =1430.90 + 1430.90= $2,861.81

Step 2

<em>Total cost of inventory using order size of 900 boxes</em>

<em>ordering cost =( (1000× 52)/900 ) × 15 = 866.66</em>

<em>Holding cost = (900/ 2)  × 15% × 35 =  2,362.5</em>

Total cost = <em>866.66 + 2,362.5 =</em> $3,229.16

Step 3

<em>Calculate in savings in total costs</em>

<em>Savings = Difference in total inventory cost of EOQ order size and 900 boxes order size :</em>

=$3,229.16-$2,861.81

= $367.34

Savings = $367.34

Gwar [14]

Answer:

11.64%

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate)  + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,  

Weighted of debt = Debt ÷ total firm

The total firm includes debt, preferred stock, and the equity which equals to

= $3,000,000 + $2,000,000 = $5,000,000

So, Weighted of debt = ($2,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) = 0.40

And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock ÷ total firm)

                                                              = $3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,0000

                                                              = 0.60              

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (0.40 × 6%) × ( 1 - 40%) +  (0.60 × 17%)

= 1.44% + 10.2%

= 11.64%

Which of the following is not an example of a natural experiment an economist might use to evaluate a theory? a. Transit ridersh
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Example of not a natural experiment an economist might use to evaluate a theory is:

C. Here the Students in a microeconomics principles course are advised to play a game with their classmates to determine and evaluate what all decisions they make under certain adjusted circumstances.

Explanation:

Natural experiment : A natural experiment is referred to an observational and also an empirical study in which we get to study about the experimental and controllable varieties of variables. which can not het manipulated anywhere by the researchers.

Instead these experiments are allowed to affect the environment and the nature or the different factors which are not under control of our researchers. In contrast to the experimental values and all the natural experiments are even not controlled by the researchers but instead they also admire and obseve those experiments for their own studies.

So, the right option is:

C. Here the Students in a microeconomics principles course are advised to play a game with their classmates to determine and evaluate what all decisions they make under certain adjusted circumstances.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The solution to this question can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

In point a:

When consumer interest decreases, => consumers begin and save less and more, => MPC decreases; => the "IS" curve becomes flatter; => "IS" turns inside. Currently, 'AD' shows together all the goods and financial sector, => as the 'IS' curve adjusts inside the industry, => the 'AD' would also change to the left.

In point b:

Take into account the SR models of "IS-LM" and "AD-AS." 

Therefore there is the case of a full job only at the beginning; => its optimum between "IS1" and "LM" in the "IS-LM" model; as well as the main equilibrium among "AD1" and "AS" in the "AD-AS" model "E1'," => the original equilibrium among "Y=Yf," "r=r1" and "P=P1." That now the consumer is reducing the confidence, => the 'IS' curve becomes shifting IMEI 'IS2,' => provided the 'LM' curve, that new balance is 'E2.' That's why the price in the SR is calculated, the AS will change =>, however, the AD also will shift the "AD2" side and "E2'" will become the equilibrium point in the "AD-AS" system, "r=r2 <r1" and "P=P1" throughout the new "Y=Y2 <Yf" balance.
