One inherent risk to using lean philosophy is that companies are at higher risk of inventory shortage during volatile times such

as strikes, weather, etc. than when using the traditional philosophy.True / False.

olganol [36]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As in the lean philosophy the production is based on specific customer demands, there are chances that when the order is received then the inventory required is not present and that the inventory is not held in hand.

Whereas in the traditional philosophy the production is based on the principle of budgets and sales forecast, accordingly the sales keeps on moving and the inventory is also held in hand prior to confirmation of order from customers.

Since there is no planning before the order is received from customers under lean, in emergency cases, or scarcity of resources, the inventory will fall short, and acquisition of inventory would not be easy.

TCBW last year had an average collection period (days sales outstanding) of 33 days based on accounts receivable of $350,000. Al
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

$296,969.70

Explanation:

Days of sales outstanding = number of days in a period / receivables turnover

Receivables turnover = revenue / average receivables

33 = 365 / receivables turnover

receivables turnover = 11.060606

11.060606 = revenue / $350,000

revenue = $3,871,212.12

with the new policy and same revenue :

28 = 365  / receivables turnover

receivables turnover = 13.035714

13.035714 = $3,871,212.12 / average receivables

= $296,969.70

Maldovar Company is considering purchasing a new machine to replace a machine purchased one year ago that is not achieving the e
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

c. Purchase cost of existing machine

Explanation:

Relevant  costs are the incremental costs that can be avoided by avoiding the functional activity with which the costs are associated.

Maintenance costs are relevant as they are directly linked to the use of machinery and as such are incremental with the use. The same is the case with the maintenance costs of the existing machine as they are avoidable if the new machine is purchased.

Expected cost savings would be incremental with the improved new machine. These cost savings thus are relevant.

Resale value of existing machine are also relevant as these would contribute towards the purchase of new machine.

The purchase price of existing machine is irrelevant as the machine cost has already been paid and regardless of purchasing the new machine or not, this cost is not a part of any calculations.

Hope that helps.

The cost, in dollars, to produce x designer dog leashes is C ( x ) = 8 x + 3 , and the price-demand function, in dollars per lea
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

Explanation:

The Profit function is the revenue minus the cost.

Revenue = Price x Quantity =  X.px = x(88-2x) = 88x - 2x^2

Therefore the profit function P (x):  

P (x)  =  88x - 2x^2 - (8x+3)

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

To maximise profit we use the 1st order condition: dP(x)/dq = 0

Therefore,  80 - 4x = 0

4x = 80

x = 20

So 20 leashes maximises profit.

P(x) = 80(20) - 2(20)^2 - 3

<em><u> P = $803  </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

The price to charge would be:

<u><em>p (x) = 88 - 2(20) = $48</em></u>

<u><em>The best reason would be that the price is a bit expensive for a leash so most people would not buy it.</em></u>
