Answer: 27.28 units
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a company wants to determine its reorder point (R) and that demand is variable and they want to build a safety stock into R. We have also been given the information that the company wants to have a service level of 95 percent and that average daily demand is 8, lead time is 3 days and the standard deviation of demand during lead time is 2.
It should be noted that a service level of 95% will have a desired z score of 1.64. To get the desired value of R, we multiply the average daily demand by the number of the days in lead time and then add to the multiplication between the standard deviation during the lead time and the desired z score. Mathematically, this will be expressed as:
= (8 × 3) + (2 × 1.64)
= 24 + 3.28
= 27.28
Therefore, the desired value of R = 27.28 units
Answer and Explanation:
Efficiency and equality:
We have given the information that there are two areas one has many small school and another has few large schools. The area which has many small schools faces a large competition as there are large numbers of school in that area. In order to maintain equality and efficiency the voucher system should announced in the area which has few large schools. Introducing the voucher system in this few large school region help to maintain equality as there is less competition. Whereas the introduction of the voucher system in an area which has many large schools increases the inequality as there is high competition and this inequality also stimulated by the migration factor. So, these are the effects of voucher system in different areas.
Answer: $15600
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of the Payroll Department's cost that is allocated to the Assembly Department goes thus:
First we need to calculate the allocation rate which will be:
= $300,000/25,000
= $12.
Then, the departmental cost will be:
= Payroll checks × Allocation rate
= 1,300 × $12
= $15,600.
Therefore, the amount of the Payroll Department's cost that is allocated to the Assembly Department is $15600.
Answer:
The correct answer is Maverick buying.
Explanation:
Maverick, is a wayward, a dissident, a rebel, someone who refuses to abide by the rules or resists joining a group. The term originates from Samuel A. Maverick (1803-1870), a Texas rancher, who refused to mark his cattle.
The "maverick buying", refers to purchases out of contract or channels established by an organization. For example, the Corporate Supply department negotiates a competitive price for certain particular models of laptops with a distributor. Days later, someone from the Human Resources department requests the purchase of a much more expensive model, for which a discount has not been negotiated.
Another example: traveling in an airline and staying in a hotel other than those with which the company has signed agreements.
The impact of bypassing the preferred purchasing channels and systems can vary from operational inefficiency, to missing out on the advantages of corporate contract negotiation, large fines and even jail time.
Answer:
(A) less
Explanation:
Given a positive inflation rate, the real value of the dollar will depreciate by the rate of inflation annually.
Thus, for a house that cost $100,000 today, given a 3% inflation rate, it would cost (100,000 * 1.03 = ) $103,000 after a year.
This means, $100,000 today will have the same value as $103,000 one year later.
Therefore, repayments, which will likely be a fixed sum every year, will have a lower purchasing power as the year progresses.
