B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books

C. Reorder point=987

Explanation:

a. In order To manage inventory, the company is using what is called Continuous review system

b. Calculation to find the order quality

Using this formula

Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)

Let plug in the morning

Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)

Order quantity = 2,049 Books

(138*358=49,404)

C. Calculation for reorder point

First step is to find the σL

73 % S.L. - z = 0.613

Using this formula to find the σL

σL = (Lσ^2)

Let plug in the formula

σL=√(7(13)^2)

σL= 34.39

Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula

R = d bar(L) + zσL

Let plug in the formula

Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)

Reorder point = 966+21

Reorder point=987

The CPI is 120 in year 1 and 150 in year 2. All inflation is anticipated. If Gringotts Bank charges an interest rate of 20.00 pe
liq [111]

Answer:

Gringotts Bank real interest rate = 20% - 25% = -5%

Explanation:

real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate

the inflation rate between year 1 and year 2 = [(CPI year 2 - CPI year 1) / CPI year 1] x 100 = [(150 - 120) / 120] x 100 = (30 / 120) x 100 = 0.25 x 100 = 25%

Gringotts Bank real interest rate = 20% - 25% = -5%

since the interest rate is negative, that means that Gringott Bank is actually losing money by lending it at 20% since the inflation rate is much higher.
