A manager receives a forecast for next year. Demand is projected to be 510 units for the first half of the year and 1,020 units

for the second half. The monthly holding cost is $2 per unit, and it costs an estimated $55 to process an order. a. Assuming that monthly demand will be level during each of the six-month periods covered by the forecast (e.g., 85 per month for each of the first six months), determine an order size that will minimize the sum of ordering and carrying costs for each of the six-month periods.

Answer:

290 units

Explanation:

The order size that will minimize the sum of ordering and carrying costs is known as the Optimum Order Quantity or Economic Order Quantity (EOQ).

At this point, the Ordering and Carrying costs will be at their minimal.

<em>Optimum Order Quantity = √2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per unit ÷ Holding Cost per unit</em>

Where,

Annual Demand = 1st half + 2nd half

                           = 510 units + 1,020 units

                           = 1,530 units

Therefore

Optimum Order Quantity = √ (2 × 1,530 units × $55) ÷ $2

                                          = 290

Conclusion

The order size that will minimize the sum of ordering and carrying costs is 290 units

a. Summary of the flow of physical units:

Beginning Work in process = 209,000

Started during month =        1,025,000

less ending work in process  159,000

Units completed in month = 1,075,000

b. Computation of output in terms of equivalent units:

Units completed:

                                                       Physical      Direct      Conversion

                                                            Unit        Material        Cost

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process  159,000    103,350 (65%)   127,200 (80%)

Units produced                     1,075,000   1,075,000 (100%)  1,075,000 (100%)

Explanation:

Data:

                                                         Physical      Direct      Conversion

                                                            Unit        Material        Cost

Beginning work in process            209,000

Ending work in process                  159,000      65%          80%

Units started during the month  1,025,000

Total units in production             1,234,000        103,350      127,200

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process         159,000      103,350      127,200

Units produced                           1,075,000   1,075,000   1,075,000

a) The equivalent unit is the product of the class of unit in production multiplied by the percentage of completion.  This forms the basis for allocating cost between a product's costs and the ending work in process.  Calculating the equivalent units helps to determine accurate costs of units completed.

Jasper could most certainly claim depreciation on the computer that is, 50% of it plus 50% of the purchase price and I know because I am self-employed too and I know that legitimate office expenses like a new printer, printer paper etc can be claimed according to the amount used for the business.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Bezanitia,

1.782609

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone hen one alternative is chosen over another alternative.

By choosing to produce one  more motorcycle, the countries would be giving up the opportunity to produce one more unit of lawn mowers

Yekutia's opportunity cost in the production of motor cycle = 570 / 320 = 1.781250

Bezanitia's opportunity cost in the production of motor cycle = 410 / 230 = 1.782609
