CU, Incorporated (CUI) produces copper contacts that it uses in switches and relays. CUI needs to determine the order quantity,

Q, to meet the annual demand at the lowest cost. The price of copper depends on the quantity ordered. Here are price-break and other data for the problem:
Price of copper $ 0.82 per pound up to 2,499 pounds

$ 0.81 per pound for orders between 2,500 and 5,000 pounds

$ 0.80 per pound for orders greater than 5,000 pounds

Annual demand 50,000 pounds per year

Holding cost 20 percent per unit per year of the price of the copper

Ordering cost $ 30


Which quantity should be ordered?

Answer:

If CUI buys at $0.82 per pound

Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds

Ordering  cost  per order (Co) = $30

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.82 = $0.164  

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                  H                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

EOQ = √<u>2 x  50,000 x  $30 </u>

                     $0.164

EOQ = 4,277 units

The solution is not feasible since 4,277 units could not be bought at $0.82 per pound.    

If CUI buys at $0.81 per pound

Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds

Ordering  cost  per order (Co) = $30

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.81 = $0.162  

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                 H      

EOQ = √<u>2 x  50,000 x  $30 </u>

                     $0.162

EOQ = 4,303 units

Total cost for 4,303 units

=  <u>DCo</u>   +   <u>QH  </u>  +      P x D                                                                        

     Q             2                

=  <u>50,000 x $30</u>  + <u>4,303  x $0.162</u>  +  $0.81 x 50,000

            4,303                  2

= $348.59 + $348.54  +  $40,500      

=  $41,197.13            

If CUI buys at $0.80 per pound

Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds

Ordering cost per order (Co) = $30

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.80 = $0.16  

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                  H                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

EOQ = √<u>2 x  50,000 x  $30 </u>

                     $0.16

EOQ = 4,330 units

The solution is not feasible since 4,330 units could not be bought at $0.80 per pound. Thus, EOQ is 5,001 units.    

Total cost for 5,001 units

=  <u>DCo</u>   +  <u> QH </u>   +      P x D                                                                        

     Q             2                

=  <u>50,000 x $30</u>  + <u>5,001  x $0.16</u>  +  $0.80 x 50,000

            5,001                  2

= $299.94 + $400.08  +   $40,000      

=  $40,700.02    

Thus, EOQ equals 5,001 units because the quantity minimises the total cost.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Explanation:

EOQ is a function of square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by holding cost per item per annum.

Since this question involves discounts, there is need to calculate EOQ at various discount levels. Holding cost is a function of price. For instance, when price is $0.82, holding cost is 20% of $0.82.    

We will calculate the EOQ at various prices and corresponding total cost.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Finally, we will consider the quantity that minimizes the total cost. Thus,  EOQ equals 5,001 units.

What is GDP?

The total monetary or market worth of all the finished goods and services produced within a nation's boundaries during a certain time period is known as the gross domestic product (GDP). It serves as a thorough assessment of the state of the economy in a particular nation because it is a wide indicator of total domestic production.

Even while GDP is frequently estimated on a yearly basis, it can also be calculated quarterly. For instance, the government of the United States produces an annualized GDP estimate for both the calendar year and each fiscal quarter. Each piece of data in this report is presented in real terms, which means that it has been adjusted for price changes and is therefore net of inflation.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Since this whole sales agreement is about a car, then it falls under the statute of frauds. Any sales contract or offer for any amount of $500 or more needs to be signed. We are not told the final price of the car, but if we consider that only the discount was $500, then we can assume that the price of the car was higher than that. Since the note was not signed, then the promise is not valid.
