A) 
<span>To determine the Annual Set-up Cost </span>
<span>Annual set-up cost = (# of orders placed per year) x (Setup or order cost per order)  </span><span>= Annual Demand </span><span># of units in each order ¡Á (Setup or order cost per order)  </span><span>= (D/Q) ¡Á(S) </span>
<span>           = (6000/Q) x (30) </span>
<span>
To determine Annual holding cost = Average inventory level x Holding cost per unit per year </span><span>= (Order Quantity/2) (Holding cost per unit per year) </span>
<span>                           = (Q/2) ($10.00) </span>

<span> </span>
<span>To determine Optimal order quantity is found when annual setup cost equals annual holding cost:  </span><span>(D/Q) x (S) = (Q/2) x (H) </span>
<span>                          (6,000/Q) x (30) = (Q/2) (10) </span>
<span>                                                    =(2)(6,000)(30)
                                                    = Q2 (10) </span>
<span>Q2 = [(2 ¡Á6,000 ¡Á30)/($10)]
      = 36,000 </span>
<span>       =([(2 ¡Á6,000 ¡Á30)/(10)])
       =</span><span>189.736 ¡Ö 189.74 units </span><span>
Hence, EOQ = 189.74 units </span>

<span>B)  </span>
<span>Average inventory level = (Order Quantity/2) </span>
<span>                                      = (189.74) /2
                                      = 94.87 </span>
<span>Average Inventory level =94.87 units </span>

<span>C)  </span>
<span>N= ( Demand/ order quantity)
    = (6000/ 189.736)
    =31.62 </span>
<span>Hence, the optimal number of orders per year = 31.62 </span>

<span>D) </span>
<span>T = (Number of Working Days per year) / (optimal number of orders) </span>
<span>   = 250 days per year / 31.62
   = 7.906 </span>
<span>So, the optimal number of days in between any two orders = 7.91 </span>

<span>E) </span>
<span>Using, (Q) x (H) : </span><span>(189.736 units) x ($10) =$1,897.36 </span>
<span>So, The annual cost of ordering and holding the inventory = $1,897 </span>

F)
<span>TC = setup cost + holding cost </span>
<span>      = (Dyear/Q) (S) + (Q/2) (H) </span>
<span>      = (6,000/189.74) ($30.00) + (189.74/2) ($10.00) </span>
<span>      = $948.67 + $948.7 </span>
<span>      = 1,897.37
</span><span>Purchase cost = (6,000 units) x ($100/unit)
                       = $600,000 </span>
<span>Total annual inventory cost = $600,000 + $1,897
                                            = $601,897 </span>

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.

The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.

Explanation:

a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:

We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.

b. The cost of equity using the SML method:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.

=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
