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.

Optimal order quantity pounds
b. How frequently should the company order cotton? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

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

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

= Marginal propensity to consume × rise in income

= 0.70 × $4,000

= $2,800

Hence, the consumption would be increased by $2,800

We simply applied the above formula i.e. marginal propensity to consume is multiplied with the rise in income so that the correct answer could come
