(26 pts) Motorola obtains cell phones from its contract manufacturer located in China to serve the U.S. market. The U.S. market

is served from a warehouse located in Memphis, Tennessee. Daily demand at the Memphis warehouse is normally distributed, with a mean of 5,000 and a standard deviation of 4,000. The warehouse aims for a CSL of 99 percent. The company is debating whether to use sea or air transportation from China. Sea transportation results in a lead time of 36 days and costs $0.50 per phone. Air transportation results in a lead time of 4 days and costs $1.50 per phone. Each phone costs $100, and Motorola uses an annual inventory holding ratio of 20 percent. a) What reorder point and safety inventory should the warehouse aim for when using sea or air transportation

Answer:

when sea transportation is used:

safety stock = Z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand

  • Z-score for 99% = 2.58
  • lead time = 36 days
  • standard deviation of demand = 4,000 units

safety stock = 2.58 x √36 x 4,000 units = 61,920 units

reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock

  • lead time demand = 36 days x 5,000 units = 180,000 units
  • safety stock = 61,920

reorder point = 180,000 units + 61,920 units = 241,920 units

when air transportation is used:

safety stock = Z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand

  • Z-score for 99% = 2.58
  • lead time = 4 days
  • standard deviation of demand = 4,000 units

safety stock = 2.58 x √4 x 4,000 units = 20,640 units

reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock

  • lead time demand = 4 days x 5,000 units = 20,000 units
  • safety stock = 20,640

reorder point = 20,000 units + 20,640 units = 40,640 units

Zarrin [17]

Publication 525 of the IRS defines taxable and non taxable income.

The IRS lists winnings from raffles and lotteries under Other income.

It also declares that the fair market value of winnings from raffles and lotteries are winnings from gambling. Hence the fair market values of non cash prizes are taxable and must be included as income.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $1.92 per car wash

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

$5,400, occurred in July when​ 2,700 cars were washed and the lowest​ bill, $3,100, occurred in February when​ 1,500 cars were washed.

To determine the variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (5,400 - 3,100) / (2,700 - 1,500)= $1.92 per car wash
