Wang Distributors has an annual demand for an airport metal detector of 1,400 units. The cost of a typical detector to Wang is $

400. Carrying cost is estimated to be 20% of the unit costs, and the ordering is $25 per order. If Ping Wang, the owner, orders in quantities of 300 or more, he can get a 5% discount on the cost of the detectors. Should Wang take the quantity discount?

Answer:

Wang should take the quantity discount

Explanation:

Total minimum cost for both cases i.e. with and without discount is evaluated.

1. Without the discount

Demand - 1,400 units

Ordering cost - $25 per order

Cost of detector- $400

Carrying cost - 20%

Applying EOQ formula: √ (2*1,400*25)/(400*20%) = 29.580

Total cost = (400*1400) + (1400*25*2/29.580) = 562,366

2. With discount

Demand - 1,400 units

Ordering cost - $25 per order

Cost of detector i.e. 400 x 20%- $380

Carrying cost - 20%

Applying EOQ formula: √ (2*1,400*25)/(380*20%) = 30.3488

Applying variables to obtain total cost as in 1 above = 543,516.67

Therefore, since total cost is lower after the discount, Wang should take the quantity discount.

madam [21]

"An effort is only useful in improving motivation levels in employees with specialized jobs" is correct regarding expectancy theory.

<h3>What is expectancy theory?</h3>

Victor Vroom of the Yale School of Management put forth the expectation hypothesis in 1964. According to the expectation theory, a person's motivation is determined by their level of desire for a reward, their assessment of the likelihood that their efforts will result in the expected performance (Expectancy), and their conviction that their efforts will pay off once they meet their expectations (Instrumentality).

Expectancy is the conviction that stronger efforts will yield better results. Expectations are affected by things like having the necessary skills to do the job, having access to the resources you need, being able to receive the information you need, and receiving the necessary support to get the task done.
