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>

Spree Company sold $769,300 of goods during the year at a cost of goods sold of $548,600. Inventory was $31,283 at the beginning
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

16.42

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of goods sold =  $548,600

Beginning inventory of the year = $31,283

Ending inventory of the year = $35,538

Now,

the Inventory turnover ratio is calculated as;

⇒ ( Cost of goods sold ) ÷ ( Average inventory of the year )

Also,

Average inventory of the year = \frac{\textup{Beginning inventory + Ending inventory}}{\textup{2}}

= \frac{\$31,283+\$35,538}{\textup{2}}

= $33,410.5

Therefore,

Inventory turnover ratio = $548,600 ÷  $33,410.5

= 16.42

Do some research on mergers and acquisitions. What were the five largest mergers– acquisitions last year? Make a list of the par
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Mergers and Acquisitions in 2019:

1. The five largest mergers-acquisitions in 2019:

   Acquirer   and  Partner

a. BB&T and SunTrust

b. Schwab and TD Ameritrade

c. Raythem and UTC

d. Newmont and Goldcorp

e. Salesforce and Tableau Software

2. Reasons for the M&A:

a. BB&T and SunTrust                        - to cut cost

b. Schwab and TD Ameritrade          - to save money

c. Raythem and UTC                        - to become largest defence company

d. Newmont and Goldcorp               - to acquire competitive advantage

e. Salesforce and Tableau Software - to boost revenue

3. Some of the M&A transactions do not make any strategic sense.  For example, now that Raythem and UTC combined want to form the largest defense company, do they add much to their stockholders returns?  Some others acquired to cut cost will experience the huge costs of acquisition, which are, most times, too large to be written off in a single year.

Explanation:

Major financial transactions done at the corporate level for the purpose of consolidating the assets of two or more companies, growing market share, and eliminating competition are called Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A).  Consolidation of companies may be achieved through mergers, acquisitions, assets purchase, management acquisitions, etc.
