Lieutenant Commander Data is planning to make his monthly (every 30 days) trek to Gamma Hydra City to pick up a supply of isolin

ear chips. The trip will take Data about three days. Before he leaves, he calls in the order to the GHC Supply Store. He uses chips at an average rate of seven per day (seven days per week) with a standard deviation of demand of two per day. He needs a 98 percent service probability.
Required:
If he currently has 35 chips in inventory, how many should he order? What is the most he will ever have to order?

Answer:

219.57 units

Explanation:

Given :

Daily demand, d = 7 per day

Standard deviation, = 2 per day

Service probability = 98%

Total number of days per week = 7

Lead time , L = 3 days

On hand inventory, I = 35

Now calculating the optimal order quantity by using the given formula,

$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$   .............(i)

First, we will find out the value of  $\sigma_{r+L}$ and z.

Therefore,

$\sigma_{r+L}=\sqrt{(30+3)(2)^2}$

        $=\sqrt{132}$

       = 11.48

Now the value of z can be found out from the z-table,

Z value for 98% service level = 2.054

Now putting the value of $\sigma_{r+L}$ and z in equation (i), we get,

$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$  

   = (7)(30+3)+(2.054)(11.48) - 35

   = 231 + 23.57 - 35

   = 219.57 units

So the optimal number of the units required to be order = 219.57 units

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Date of selling machine is 31 Dec 2021, then gain of $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then gain of 2,000

Explanation:

Depreciation per year = (original cost $80,000  - residual value $5,000)/ useful life of 10 years

= $7,500 per year

Date of purchase: January 1, 2009

Date of sold:  December 31, 2021

⇒ Actual life of this machine = 13 years, but the maximum depreciation as accounting rule is for 10 year only

After 13 years, the book value = original cost - depreciation booked

= $80,000 - $7,500*10 = $5,000

Gain/ Loss =  sold price - boo value = $52,000 - $5,000 = $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then we have:

Gain/ Loss = sold price - book value

= $52,000 - ($80,000 - $7,500*4) = 2,000

A handful of companies on the Fortune 500 list are more than 100 years old, which is rare. What organizational characteristics d
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Following are the organizational characteristics that explain the 100-year longevity of a company:

Explanation:

Selling Necessity Goods

Many of companies provide such goods and services which are essential for our everyday activities. Hence, people tend to buy from these companies as it is their routine to do so.

Laser-Sharp Customer Focus

These companies have always focused on the ever changing needs and demands of the customers and have worked accordingly.  Hence their focus on customer service is the key to their success.

Willingness to Chart New Territory

Since customer needs are always evolving, all organizations celebrating centennials have taken significant gambles in order to expand their offerings.  Steelcase, for instance, began as a furniture company but has recognized that the way people work has changed.  

Ongoing Community Relationships

Long-lasting organizations also make their mark by giving back to the communities in which they’ve thrived. The GSUSA estimates that its members complete more than 75 million hours of community service annually.  

These organizations have achieved so much because they have adapted their strategies to a changing world, and because they are always looking for ways to improve people’s lives.  It is these traits that position them well no matter what the future holds.

Marin Industries had one patent recorded on its books as of January 1, 2020. This patent had a book value of $201,600 and a rema
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The patent should be reported at $302,400 on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet.

Explanation:

Remaining useful life in month of patent on January 1, 2020 = 8 * 12 = 96 months

Remaining useful life in month of patent on December 1, 2020 = 96 - 11 = 85 months

Amortization of book value of patent in 2020 = (Patent Book value / Remaining useful life in month of patent on January 1, 2020) * 12  = ($201,600 / 96) * 12 = $25,200

Amortization of legal cost in 2020 = (Legal cost / Remaining useful life in month of patent on December 1,, 2020) * 1  = ($127,500 / 85) * 1 = $1,500

Carrying amount of patent = Patent Book value + Legal cost = $201,600 + $127,500 = $329,100

Patent book value on December 31, 2020 = Carrying amount of patent - Amortization of book value of patent in 2020 - Amortization of legal cost in 2020 = $329,100 - $25,200 - $1,500 = $302,400

Therefore, the patent should be reported at $302,400 on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet.
