Answer:

a. 54

b. 810 dollars

c. 390 dollars

d. 75 pictures

e. 561.6 dollars and 562.5 dollars

f. 38 pictures

Explanation:

demand per week = 18 pictures

annually this demand = 18 *52 = 936

charge per unit = 60 dollars

order for 6 weeks = 6*18 = 108 quantities

cost of ordering = 45 dollars

cost of holding annually = 15 dollars

a. current average inventory

= (18*6)/2

= 54 pictures

b. current annual holding cost

(108/2)*15

= 810 dollars

c. current annual holding cost

= 936/108 * 45

= 390 dollars

d. size orders to be placed

= \sqrt{\frac{2*936*45}{15} }

= \sqrt{5616}

= 74.9

≈ 75 pictures have to be ordered

e. ordering holding cost per picture

936/75 * 45

= 561.6 dollars

and inventory holding cost per picture

= 75/2 * 15

=562.5 dollars

f. shop inventory per year at optimal ordering quantity

= 75/2

= 37.5

≈ 38 pictures

Answer

The answer and procedures of the exercise are attached in the following archives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold

= (440 x 90 + 220 x 80 + 264 x 50) - (440 x 56.7 + 220 x 50.4 + 264 x 31.5)

= (39,600 + 17,600 + 13,200) - (24,948 + 11,088 + 8,316)

= 70,400 - 44,352

= $26,048

Suppose that you invest $100 today in a risk-free investment and let the 6 percent annual interest rate compound. What will be t
Kipish [7]

Solution :

It is given that :

Amount of investment or the principle amount , P = $ 100

Time of investment , t = 6 years

Rate of interest compounded annually r = 6 %

Therefore the future amount of this investment in a 6 year time is given by,

$FV=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t

$FV=100(1+\frac{6}{100})^6

$FV=100(1+0.06)^6

$FV= 100 (1.4185)$

$FV=141$

Therefore, after 6 years the investment of $ 100 will give an amount of $ 141.

Luda [366]
If an employer does not offer a retirement plan, the best option that an employee can do is to invest in an insurance company that can offer such service. There are insurance companies that not only guarantee a person's investment on health, travel, and recreation, there are also those that give opportunities for people who are seeking to retire from their work.
