A fast-food restaurant buys hamburger buns from a national bakery supplier. The daily usage of buns at the restaurant is normall

y distributed with an average of 160 and standard deviation of 10. It takes 4 days for the supplier to deliver. The purchasing agent at the restaurant has established a 99.7% service level.
a) The Safety Stock and Reorder Point for the restaurant (in whole numbers). A fast-food restaurant buys hamburger buns from a local bakery. To estimate its costs, the restaurant assumes now those buns are used at the constant rate of 100 per day and are purchased at $0.025 per bun. It costs $1 for each order placed and the annual inventory holding cost per unit is 25% of the unit purchase cost.
b) How much should be ordered each time to minimize the restaurant’s total annual costs?c) And what is the length of order cycles (i.e. time between orders) in days? Assume the restaurant operates 360 days per year.

Answer:

Thus, from the calculations below;

The safety stock = 55

The reorder point = 695

quantity required to be ordered in order to reduce and minimize total annual cost for the restaurant = 3394 buns

The order cycles length = 34 days

Explanation:

From the given information:

The average demand (d) = 160

The standard deviatiion \sigma_d = 10

Lead time = 4 days

Service level = 99.7% = 0.997

From the Standard Normal Curve; the z value at 99.7% = 2.75

The annual demand (D) = 36000

Ordering cost = $1

Unit purchased Cost = $0.025

The holding cost for the annual inventory = 25% of 0.025 = 0.00625

The reorder point can be determined by using the formula:

= \bar d \times Lead \ time +z\times \sigma_d \times \sqrt{LT}

\mathbf{ = 160\ \times4+2.75 \times10 \times\sqrt{4}}

= 695

The safety stock SS = z \times \sigma_d \times \sqrt{LT}

= 2.75 \times 10 \times \sqrt{4}

= 55

The economic order quality = \sqrt{2 \times D \times \dfrac{ordering \ cost }{annua l\  holding \  cost}}

= \sqrt{2 \times 36000 \times \dfrac{1 }{0.00625}}

=3394.11

The order cycle length = \dfrac{EOQ}{D}\times 360

= \dfrac{3394.11}{36000}\times 360

= 33.94

≅ 34 days

Grading the performance of minority group members by using lower standards and a patronizing attitude is called
postnew [5]
In my opinion, it is called subtle discrimination. Unlike blatant discrimination, which consists in openly humiliating a member of a minority based on their personal traits, subtle discrimination is much more perfidious, as it is not always easy to point finger at it or to legally assess it. Sometimes, it even happens as a consequence of seemingly good intentions. For example, if I use lower standards to grade Afro-Americans in a class of mixed students, it still means I assume they are less capable or educated, even if I do it because I know that they had been oppressed and had historically had less chance to educate themselves.

Consider the following: Cash in Bank - checking account of $18, 500 Cash on hand of $500. Post dated checks received totaling $3
lesya [120]

Answer:

b $19,000

Explanation:

The reconciliation between the book balance and the bank statement examines the transactions recorded in either account but omitted in the other and the transactions recorded wrongly in  both accounts.

Given the following transactions

Cash in Bank - checking account = $18, 500

Cash on hand = $500

Post dated checks received =  $3 500 and

Certificates of deposits = $24,000

Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 + $24,000

= $43,000

The post dated check is not included as the cash is yet to be received. The balance in the post dated check will form part of the receivables balance and not that of cash.

The certificate of deposit may be accounted for as part of cash and cash equivalent as shown in the computation above. Where the certificate of deposit is accounted for as a short term investment,

Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 = $19,000

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$3,860

Explanation:

The balance in the account Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is expected to be the projected amount in receivables of the company that will not be converting to cash.

Therefore to calculate final balance of allowance for doubtful balance

Beginning balance                                                                 2700

Bad debt expense (410000*1%)                                            4100

Less: Written off                                                                   -2940

Ending balance                                                                    3860

So answer is $3,860
