Answer:
Explanation:
Annual demand (D) = 20000 units
Number of days per year = 250
Demand rate(d) = D/number of days per year = 20000/250 = 80 units
Production rate(p) = 655 units
Set up cost(S) = $1800
Holding cost (H) = $1.50
A) Optimum run size(Q) = sqrt of {2DS / H [1-(d/p)]}
= sqrt of {(2x20000x1800) /1.50[1-(80/655)]}
= Sqrt of [7200000/1.50(1-0.1221) ]
= sqrt of [72000000/(1.50 x 0.8779)]
= sqrt of (7200000/1.31685)
= Sqrt of 5467593.1199
= 2338 units
b) Maximum inventory ( I - max) = (Q/p) (p-d) = (2338/655)(655-80) = 3.5695 x 575 = 2052.46 or rounded off to 2052 units
Average inventory = I-max/2 = 2052/2 = 1026 units
C) Number of production setups per year = D/Q = 20000/2338 = 8.55 or rounded up to 6
d) optimal length of production run = optimal run size /production rate = 2338/655 = 3.56 or rounded up to 4 days
Answer: d. Regulate the firm's pricing behavior.
Explanation:
One way the government can regulate monopolies is to protect the interests of the consumers who are usually the end users. The government have the market power to set prices higher than normal in a competitive market. Thjs can be achieved by Price capping or limiting price increases. As this helps Regulate the firm's pricing behavior.
Answer:
The total value will not change.
Explanation:
Stock split occurs when a stock is divided into parts. The value of each stock will decline but there will be more stocks and overall value will remains same. If stock A goes through a stock split then the new price per stock will decline but the overall value to the investor will remain same.
Answer:
Explanation:
Forecast usage = 50 %
Actual Usage = 52%
smoothing constant = 0.10
⇒ 50 + 0.10 (52 - 50)
⇒ 50 + 0.10 (2)
⇒ 50 + 0.2 = 50.20
