A restaurant supply store is trying to determine how many boxes of a certain commonly used item to order. They estimate that tha

t the demand for the item averages 30 boxes per week. The ordering cost is $10 per order and it costs $20 to hold one box in inventory for one year. The lead time for orders is always 1.5 weeks and inventory is managed with a continuous review policy. Show all your work for all parts.
(8 pts.) a) Determine the economic order quantity (that is, how many boxes they should order to minimize their cost) and the corresponding total annual cost.

(4 pts.) b) Calculate the reorder point and state when they should place an order.


(6 pts.) c) Suppose the store orders every two weeks (rather than your answer to part a). How large is an order on average and what is the total annual cost? How much more does this cost than using the best order size?

Answer:

<u>Part a: </u>

EOQ = 40 units

<u>Part b:</u>

Re-order point = 45

Place an order when inventory falls to 45 units.

<u>Part c:</u>

Annual cost= Q*H/2+ D*S/Q = $861

The difference in cost= 861- 791 = $70 more than best order size.

Calculate the reorder point and state when they should place an order.

Explanation:

Demand per week = 30 boxes

Weeks per year = 52

Annual demand = Demand per week × Weeks per year

Annual demand = 30 boxes × 52 weeks

Annual demand = 1,560 boxes per year

<u>Task a: </u>

<u>Determine the economic order quantity (that is, how many boxes they should order to minimize their cost) and the corresponding total annual cost. </u>

<u>Part 1: Economic Order quantity</u>

EOQ = \sqrt \frac{2CoD}{Ch}

Where Co = Ordering cost = $10

D = Annual demand = 1,560

Ch = Holding cost = $20

EOQ = \sqrt \frac{2(10)(1,560)}{20}

EOQ = 39.49 units = 40 units

<u>Part 2: Total annual cost at EOQ level:</u>

At Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), the total annual ordering cost and holding cost are all equal:

<u>Annual ordering cost = (Annual demand × Ordering cost per order ) ÷ EOQ</u>

Annual ordering cost = (1,560 × $10) ÷ 40

Annual ordering cost = $390

Annual holding cost = ((1,560 × 20)/40) ÷ 2

Annual holding cost = $390

Part b:

Calculate the reorder point and state when they should place an order.

Part 1: Re-order point

Re-order point = (Annual demand÷week)×lead time

Re-order point = (1,560 ÷ 52) × 1.5

Re-order point = 45

Part 2: When they should place an order.

Place an order when inventory falls to 45 units.

<u>Part c </u>

<u>Suppose the store orders every two weeks (rather than your answer to part a). How large is an order on average and what is the total annual cost? How much more does this cost than using the best order size?</u>

<u></u>

Order size= 30 per week* 2weeks= 60 units

Annual cost= Q*H/2+ D*S/Q = $861

The difference in cost= 861- 791 = $70 more than best order size.

You have $19,750 you want to invest for the next 22 years. You are offered an investment plan that will pay you 9 percent per ye
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

$195,488.6

Explanation:

The computation of the amount at the end of the 22 years is shown below

The Amount at the end of 1st 11 years is

= Principal × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $19,750 × (1 + 0.09)^11

= $50,963.42  

Now the amount at the end of the last 11 years is

= $50,963.42 × (1 + 0.13)^11

= $195,488.6

hence, the value at the end of the 22 years is $195,488.60

Gore Global is considering the two mutually exclusive projects below. The cash flows from the projects are summarized below.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Flying Car

Cash flow in year 0 = -$200,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 50,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 50,000

Cash flow in year 3 =80,000

Cash flow in year 4 =100,000

IRR = 13%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

Shkiper50 [21]

With compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded 1 time per year over 12 years is $12,590.85.

<h3>Compound interest</h3>

Given Data

  • Principal = $5,000
  • Time = 12 years
  • Rate = 8%

Assuming a compounded interest approach

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $5,000.00

I (interest) = $7,590.85

Calculation Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08/1)(1)(12)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08)(12)

A = $12,590.85
