Answer:
a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand
z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053
√lead time = √7 = 2.6458
standard deviation of demand = 3
safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps
reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps
EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]
S = order cost = $10
D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840
H = $0.05
EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps
b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22
total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20
total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42
Answer: Integrated Communications Unit
Explanation: The Integrated Communications Unit is one of the NIMS characteristics that allows units from diverse agencies to connect, share information and achieve situational awareness.
The Integrated communications unit includes:
1. The “hardware” systems that transfer information.
2. Planning for the use of all available communications frequencies and resources.
3.The procedures and processes for transferring information internally and externally.
Communications needs for large incidents may exceed available radio frequencies. therefore, other communications resources like cell phones or secure phone lines can be the only communications methods used to coordinate communications and to transfer large amounts of data effectively.
A. Wages is the general term for the payments for the use of resources
Equilibrium is the point where supply meets demand. Look at the table and see where those two columns are the same.
For B. look at the chart and see at 1,50 rent (the first column) the demand is greater than supply or not. If demand is less than supply, there is a surplus. If demand is higher, there is a shortage.
This applies to question C as well. Look at the first column, find the rent, and see if there is more supply or more demand.
Answer:
Proposal A: 5,455 units
Proposal B: 5,770 units
Explanation:
The break-even point is the number of units required for the revenue to equal the total costs.
For proposal A:
Fixed Costs = $60,000
Variable Costs = $13 / unit
Selling Price = $24 / unit
For proposal B:
Fixed Costs = $75,000
Variable Costs = $11 / unit
Selling Price = $24 / unit
Rounding up to the next whole unit, the break-even points for proposal A and B, respectively, are 5,455 and 5,770 units.
