7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

c. 50

Explanation:

Fixed-order-interval inventory model also known as fixed reorder cycle inventory model is used to manage supply of raw material to a business based on demand of the product. Review of inventory is done by inventory analyst at fixed intervals and of inventory level is above a predetermined reorder level, nothing is done.

If however stock is at or below set reorder level raw material is purchased and is based on the formula- Maximum level - Current level.

In the scenario above we use the following formula

Standard deviation of demand over the review and lead-time period(SD)=Square root of { (Lead time+ Number of days between review)* (Standard deviation of daily demand)^2}

SD= √ {(10+15)*(10)^2}

SD= √ (25* 100)

SD= √2,500

SD= 50

Marianna [84]

Answer:

(a) 3.7

(b) 3.7

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is calculated as the ration of unemployed workers over the labor force. The labor force is the total number of employed plus unemployed workers:

Unemployment\,Rate=\frac{Unemployed\,Workers}{Labor\,Force}=\frac{Unemployed\,Workers}{Employed\,Workers+Unemployed\,Workers}

Then if there were 155 million people in the labor force and 7.4% where unemployed that means that 11.47 million people where unemployed

0.074=\frac{Unemployed\,Workers}{155}

Unemployed\,Workers=0.074*155=11.47

If unemployment rate would have been 5% we have

Unemployed\,Workers=0.05*155=7.75

That means that 3.72 million fewer unemployed workers. Since Labor Force is the sum of unemployed and employed workers. The reduction in unemployment implies that they were now employed .

  2. Use in Production in case of Manufacturer

Here is the structure of the merchandise purchases budget for Walker Company (Merchandiser).

<u>Merchandise purchases budget </u>

                                                                       Month

Budgeted Sales                                                  x

Total Purchases needed                                    x

Less Budgeted Opening Inventory                  (x)

Budgeted Purchases                                          x

As stated by the question : <em>Company policy is to end each month with merchandise inventory equal to a specified percent of budgeted sales for the following month.</em>

<em>Ending Inventory = Next months` sales x required percentage</em>

Ending Inventory for one month say July becomes Opening Inventory for the following month (August) for our merchandise purchases budget.
