SY Manufacturers (SYM) is producing T-shirts in three colors: red, blue, and white. The monthly demand for each color is 3,487 u

nits. Each shirt requires 0.75 pound of raw cotton that is imported from the Luft-Geshfet-Textile (LGT) Company in Brazil. The purchasing price per pound is $1.55 (paid only when the cotton arrives at SYM's facilities) and transportation cost by sea is $0.70 per pound. The traveling time from LGT’s facility in Brazil to the SYM facility in the United States is two weeks. The cost of placing a cotton order, by SYM, is $186 and the annual interest rate that SYM is facing is 32 percent of total cost per pound.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The optimal order quantity can be calculated as:

= √2DS/H

where

D = 3 × 12 × 3487 × 0. 75

= 94149

Total cost incurred during purchase

= $1.55 + $0.70

= $2.25

Setup cost (S) = $186

Holding cost

= 32% × $2.25

= 0.32 × $2.25

= $0.72

Optimal order quantity

= √(2 × 94149 × 186)/0.72

= 6974.50

b. This will be calculated as:

Annual demand / EOQ

= 94149/6974.50

= 13.50

The company should order cotton 13.5 times per year.

c. Since the first order is needed on 1-July and lead time is 2 weeks, SYM should place the order before 17th June.

d. This will be:

= Annual demand / EOQ

= 94149/6974.50

= 13.5 orders

e. The resulting annual holding cost will be:

= 0.72 × (6974.50/2)

= 0.72 × 3487.25

= $2510.82

f. The resulting annual ordering will be:

= 94149/6974.50 × $186

= 13.5 × $186

= $2511

How does a change in a​ country's real exchange rate affect its net​ exports?
Gnom [1K]

Answer: (C) When a​ country's real exchange rate appreciates​, it imports more and exports less​, causing its net exports to fall.

Explanation:

When a country's real exchange rate appreciates i.e the value of its currency increases, it imports more because more products could be bought with the same amount of the currency as a result of its increased value, and it export less because their goods would become more expensive for other countries resulting in reduced demand. Therefore, resulting in the fall of its net export. This is a form of trade balance.

ella [17]

Answer:

c. $500,000.

Explanation:

Market Corporation has a basis in the land of $500,000.

We are told in the question that ''Market Corporation completely liquidates Subsidiary​ Corporation, receiving land with a​ $400,000 adjusted basis and a​ $500,000 Fair Market Value''

In the event of liquidation the value of an asset is no longer its carrying amount or book value but rather the amount at which the asset can be disposed which is the fair market value.
