Answer:

The optimal production batch size for the supplier is 980 units.

Explanation:

In order to calcuate the optimal production batch size for the supplier we have to use the following formula:

optimal production batch size= \sqrt(<u>2×Annual Demand×setup cost)</u>

                                                                 Holding Cost

optimal production batch size=\sqrt (<u>2×(1,000×12)×($250×4)</u>

                                                                  ($100×25%)

optimal production batch size=\sqrt(<u>2×12,000×$1,000)</u>

                                                               $25

optimal production batch size= 980 units

Joe and Rich are both considering investing in a project with the following cash flows. Joe is content earning a 9 percent retur
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

d. both joe and rich 

Explanation:

To determine who should accept the project, the net present value should be calculated.

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 =  -$25,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 13,700

Cash flow in year 2 = 18,400

Rich 's discount rate = 16%

Richs NPV = $484.54

Joe's discount rate = 9%

Joes NPV = $3,055.72

The decision rule with NPV is to invest if NPV is greater than zero

Since NPV is greater than zero for both rich and joe, they should both accept it.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$56,400

Explanation:

Jefferson company has a sales of $306,000

The cost of goods available for sale is $270,600

The first step is to calculate the gross profit

= 306,000 × 30/100

= 306,000 × 0.3

= 91,800

The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows

= $306,000-91,800

= $214,200

Therefore the estimated cost of ending inventory under the gross profit method can be calculated as follows

= $270,600-214,200

= $56,400
