A company begins a review of ordering policies for its continuous review system by checking the current policies for a sample of

SKUs. Following are the characteristics of one item:
Demand (D) = 72 units/week (Assume 48 weeks per year)
Ordering and setup cost (S) = $55 /order
Holding cost (H) = $18 /unit/year
Lead time (L) = 3 week(s)
Standard deviation of weekly demand = 18 units
Cycle-service level = 90 percent
EOQ = 145 units
Under the same information as above, develop the best policies for a periodic review system.
1. The value of P that gives the same approximate number of orders per year as the EOQ is weeks (Hint: please round your answer to the nearest positive integer number).
2. The target inventory level that provides an 88 percent cycle-service level is units (Hint: please round your answer to the nearest positive integer number).

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

weekly demand = 72 units

no of weeks in 1 year = 48

Then; total demand = 72 × 48 = 3456 units

No of orders = \dfrac{\text{total demand }}{EOQ}

= \dfrac{\text{3456}}{145}

∴

The periodic review (P) = \dfrac{1}{no \ of \ orders}

= \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{3456}{145}}

= \dfrac{145}{3456}

= 0.041956 year

≅ 2 weeks

Z score based on 88 percent service level = NORMSINV(0.88) = 1.18

Here;

Lead time = 3 wks

P = 2 weeks

Thus protection interval = ( 3+2) weeks

= 5 weeks

Safety stock = z-score × std dev. of demand at (P+L) days

std dev = \sqrt{5 } \times 18 = 2.236 × 18

std dev = 40.248 units

Safety stock = 1.18 × 40.248

safety stock = 47.49 units

Safety stock ≅ 48 units

Average demand during(P + L) = 5 × 72 units

= 360 units

Target inventory level = average demand + safety stock

= 360 units + 48 units

= 408 units

Which of the following statements is​ correct?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

C. Governments have a difficult time​ fine-tuning the economy by using fiscal policy because there are several time lags and these are often variable.

Explanation:

Fiscal policy includes two important tools, one is taxation and the other is government spending, the balance of which is essential for the sustainable economy, however the collection of expected tax and the nature of spending (also include the priorities) takes time and certain variable factors e.g. economic growth (GDP), employment, inflation, etc makes it difficult for the government to fine tune the economy.

Your brother, who is prone to bearing substantial risk, suggests that you buy a security for $10,000 that promises to pay you $1
astraxan [27]

Answer:

16.59%

Explanation:

First we look at the formula which to determine the future value of the security and then work back to determine the annual return in terms of percentage

Future Value = Present Value x (1 +i)∧n

where i = the annual rate of return

n= number of years or period

We then plug the given figures into the equation as follows

we already know Present value to be $10,000 and the future value to be $100,000 and the number of years to be 15

Therefore, the implied annual return or yield on the investment is

100,000 = 10,000 x (1+i)∧15

(1+i)∧15 = 100,000/10,000 = 10

1 + i = (10∧(1/15))=1.165914

i= 1.165914-1

= 0.1659

= 16.59%

Cost of finished Goods

38,000 x (.75 + .55) = 38,000 x 1.3 = $49,400

WIP

24,000 x .75 = 18,000

4,800 x .55 =    2,640

Total WIP         20,640

Explanation:

Equivalent Units

38,000 complete

20% of 24,000 WIP  = 4,800

Equivalent Units CC = 42,800

x .55 CC = 23540

Materials

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

"C"

Explanation:

A customer - driven environment is an organisation where customer needs are identified and all efforts are in place to ensure that these needs are met to the maximum satisfaction of the customer.

Quality and pricing are key components of this system as a customer will be attracted if he is sure of the quality of a need at a reasonable price. It does not mean it should be the cheapest and lack quality.

It has been proven to be a good way of gaining competitive edge over rivals in business.
