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

Suppose the price of rice increases and you view rice as an inferior good. The substitution effect results in a ________ change
notka56 [123]

Answer:

B. negative, positive

Explanation:

Substitution effect : Price rise of a good makes it relatively expensive, decreases its demand. Price fall of a good makes it relatively cheap, increases its demand.

So: Substitution Effect is always negative as per above explanation.

Income Effect : Price rise of a good decreases real income/ real purchasing power of consumer & reduces demand of all goods. Price fall increases real purchasing power & increases demand of all goods.

Income effect is positive in case of Normal Goods, normal good demand is positively related to income. The effect is negative in case of inferior goods, inferior good demand is negatively related to income.

Hence: Price rise of rice - Substitution effect results in negative change  in rice consumption.  {∵substitution effect always negative}

Income Effect leads to positive change in rice consumption {∵price rise reduces real income & income effect is negative for inferior goods}

If "consumers were to decrease their saving for retirement and businesses" were to decrease borrowing for new plants and machine
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The supply of the loan able funds would decrease and so would it demand. It will also decrease.

<u>Explanation:</u>

With the decrease in the saving for the retirement purposes, the demand of the consumers would decrease for loan able funds. If the businesses also decrease the savings for new plant and machinery, it would decrease their demand for loan able funds.

Because of the decrease in the demand, the supply of the loan able funds will also decrease. But the effect of this on the real interest rates can not be said to be in a certain manner. It is uncertain.
