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.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Cash dividends                                  = $0

Preference Stock dividend Paid      = $0

Preference Stock dividend Arrears = $ 4,725

No Common Stock Dividend

2016

Cash dividends                                  = $6,000

Preference Stock dividend Paid      = $6,000

Preference Stock dividend Arrears = $ 3,450

No Common Stock Dividend

Alexis Company was started in Year 1. At the end of Year 1 the Company had the following accounting equation.Assets = Liabilitie
swat32

Answer:

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = 20%

Explanation:

<u>Calculation of Cash at the end of Year 2 </u>

Cash balance at the end of Year 1     $600

Less: Paid off to notes payable          ($500)

Add: Earned cash revenue                 $700

Less: Paid cash expenses                   ($400)

Less: Paid cash dividend                     <u>($100)</u>

Cash balance at the end of Year 2    <u>$300</u>

Notes payable at the end of Year 2 = Beginning balance - Paid off

= $1,000 - $500

= $500

<u>Calculation of Notes Payable at the end of Year 2 </u>

Notes Payable at the end of Year 1     $1000

Less: Paid off to notes payable            <u>($500)</u>

Notes Payable at the end of Year 2 <u>$500</u>

Total assets at the end of Year 2 = Cash + Land

= $300+2200

= $2500

Creditors at the end of the Year 2 (Notes payable) = $500

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = Creditors * 100 / Total assets

= $500 * 100 / $2500

= 20%

SVEN [57.7K]

At the completion of a long project, aileen gives her assistant a day off with pay to acknowledge all of his hard work. This is an example of reward power.

<h3>What is reward?</h3>

The reward system is a collection of brain structures that are responsible for incentive salience, associative learning, and positively-valenced emotions, particularly those that have pleasure as a key component.

When it comes to benefits and incentives, rewarding employees is one of the most effective strategies to increase retention and employee happiness. According to Think Smart research, firms that use incentive programs achieve their goals with a 79 percent success rate when the right reward is presented.

78 percent of employees said recognition stimulates them in their job, while a combined 68 percent of respondents in REBA's The Rewards Report 2016 indicated recognition with a reward helped them feel valued or motivated at work.
