Suppose that the demand for a particular t-shirt the UNC Student Stores sells is deterministic with 2 units per day. Each t-shir

t costs $10 and the monthly charge of carrrying one t-shirt is 50 cents. If the fixed cost of placing an order (e.g. transportation cost etc.) regardless of the order size is $200 and the order arrives instantaneously, what is the optimal number of t-shirts the UNC Student Stores should order every time it places an order and how frequently should the orders be placed?

Answer:

EOQ = 220.6052281 shirts rounded off to 221 shirts

The order should be placed after every 110 days.

Explanation:

The EOQ or economic order quantity is the optimum order level or quantity which minimizes the inventory related costs. This is the order quantity where the cost of ordering and the cost of holding the inventory is the minimum. The formula for EOQ is,

EOQ = √(2 * AD * O) / H

Where,

  • AD refers to annual demand
  • O is ordering cost per order
  • H is holding cost per unit per year

Annual demand for t shirts (assuming 365 days per year) = 2 * 365 = 730

Holding cost per unit per year = 0.5 * 12 = $6

EOQ = √(2 * 730 * 200) / 6

EOQ = 220.6052281 shirts rounded off to 221 shirts

To calculate how frequently the order should be placed,we will calculate the number of orders per year by dividing the total annual demand by the EOQ.

Number of orders per year = 730 / 220.61

Number of orders per year = 3.309 or 3.31 orders per year

Number of days per order = 365 / 3.309

Number of days per order = 110.305 days or 110 days

The applied overhead will be calculate by the product of the cost diver and the overhead rate:

<u>Cost driver for each product:</u>

Product X   3MH and  1LH

Product Y   4MH and 8LH

<u />

<u>Overhead rate: </u>

240 per machine hour

and 160 per labor hour

Product X   3MH x $240 +  1LH x $160   = 880

Product Y   4MH x $240 +  8LH x $160  = 2,240

Which of the following is a fixed cost?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.

Explanation:

Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.

Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.

a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.

b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.

c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.

d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.

So, d is the correct choice.
