After graduation, you decide to go into a partnership in an office supply store that has existed for a number of years. Walking

through the store and stockrooms, you find a great discrepancy in service levels. Some spaces and bins for items are completely empty; others have supplies that are covered with dust and have obviously been there a long time. You decide to take on the project of establishing consistent levels of inventory to meet customer demands. Most of your supplies are purchased from just a few distributors that call on your store once every two weeks. You choose, as your first item for study, computer printer paper. You examine the sales records and purchase orders and find that demand for the past 12 months was 5,000 boxes. Using your calculator you sample some days' demands and estimate that the standard deviation of daily demand is 10 boxes. You also search out these figures:
Cost per box of paper: $11.
Desired service probability: 98 percent.
Store is open every day.
Salesperson visits every two weeks.
Delivery time following visit is three days.

Using your procedure, how many boxes of paper would be ordered if, on the day the salesperson calls, 60 boxes are on hand?

Answer:

257 boxes

Explanation:

The computation is given below;

Daily Demand would be

= 5000 ÷ 365

Standard Deviation = 10 boxes

Lead Time = 2 Weeks + 3 Days = 17 Days

Service Level = 0.98

Reorder Point = avg(d) × LT + z ×  σd × sqrt(LT)

= 5000 ÷ 365 × 17 + 2.05 × 10 × 170.5

= 317

So, the number of boxes should be ordered is  

= 317 - 60

= 257 boxes

Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 4% and the euro yield curve is flat at 3%. The current exchange rate is $1.50 per euro.
lianna [129]

Answer:

$4.24287 million per year

Explanation:

Missing question:  The swap will call for the exchange of 1 million euros for a given number of dollars in each year.

For structured three separate forward contracts of the exchange of currencies, the forward price could be found as follows

Forward exchange rate * $1 million error = Dollar to be received

Year 1 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03) * 1 million euros

Year 1 =  1.514563106796117 * 1 million euros

Year 1 =    $1.5145 million

Year 2 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03)^2 * 1 million euros

Year 2 = 1.529267602978604 * 1 million euros

Year 2 = $1.5293 million

Year 3 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03)^3 * 1 million euros

Year 3 = $1.5441 million

The number of dollars each year is determined by computing the present value:

= 1.5145 / 1.04 + 1.5293 /(1.04)^2 +1.5441 / (1.04)^3

= 1.45625 + 1.41392 + 1.3727

= $4.24287 million per year
