Solution :

The optimal order quantity, EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times \text{demand}\times \text{ordering cost}}{\text{holding cost}}}$

EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 2000 \times 12}{3.6}}$

        = 115.47

The expected number of orders = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ}$

                                                      $=\frac{2000}{115.47}$

                                                      = 17.32

The daily demand = demand / number of working days

                               $=\frac{2000}{240}$

                              = 8.33

The time between the orders = EOQ / daily demand

                                                 $=\frac{115.47}{8.33}$

                                                  = 13.86 days

ROP  = ( Daily demand x lead time ) + safety stock

        $=(8.33 \times 8)+10$

         = 76.64

The annual holding cost = $\frac{EOQ}{2} \times \text{holding cost}$

                                         $=\frac{115.47}{2} \times 3.6$

                                         = 207.85

The annual ordering cost = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ} \times \text{ordering cost}$

                                           $=\frac{2000}{115.47} \times 12$

                                           = 207.85

So the total inventory cost = annual holding cost + annual ordering cost

                                            = 207.85 + 207.85

                                            = 415.7

If Colombia spends 2 hours producing coffee and 6 hours producing oranges, and Cuba spends 3 hours producing coffee and 1 hour p
zimovet [89]

Answer: C. Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, and Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Colombia spends 2 hours producing coffee and 6 hours producing oranges, and Cuba spends 3 hours producing coffee and 1 hour producing oranges.

Since Columbia spends a lesser time producing coffee and Cuba spends a lesser time producing oranges, it means that Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, and Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges.

If a factory produces 100 TV sets per year, each TV will be quite expensive to make. However, if a factory produces 20,000 TV se
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: economies of scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale are the diminished cost by companies when production becomes efficient.  Companies can achieve economies of scale by increasing production and lowering costs. <u>This happens because fixed costs are spread over a larger number of goods.</u> There are implications in variable costs as well (for example in obtaining discounts by large purchases from suppliers). In general, the larger the scale, the more cost savings.

The cost per unit depends on how much the company produces. Larger companies can produce more by spreading the cost of production over a larger amount of goods. Specialization of labor and more integrated technology boost production volumes. Lower per-unit costs can come from bulk orders from suppliers, larger advertising buys, or lower cost of capital. Spreading internal function (for ex: accounting, information technology, and marketing) costs across more units produced and sold helps to reduce costs.

The Federal Reserve buys $38.00 million in Treasury securities. If the required reserve ratio is 30.00%, and all currency is dep
Mumz [18]

Answer:

$95 million

Explanation:

When the Feds buys securities, it is an expansionary monetary policy

Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing interest rate and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank

Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits

Excess reserves is the extra that it kept by banks

Money supply = deposit / total reserves

total reserves = 30 + 10 = 40%

total increase in money supply = $38 / 0.4 = $95 million

When an accelerated depreciation method is used to calculate depreciation expense: Multiple Choice the accumulated depreciation
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

the net book value of the asset halfway through its useful life will be less than if straight-line depreciation is used.

Explanation:

Let me use an example to illustrate this.

An asset has a useful life of 4 years. It costs $1000. It has a salvage value of 0

If the straight line depreciation method is used , the depreciation expense every year = $1000/ 4 = $250

The net book value halfway through its useful life = $1000 - ($250 x 2) = $500

If double declining method is used, the depreciation expense in the first year would be = 2/4 x $1000 = $500

The net book value at the beginning of year 2 = $1000 - $500 = $500

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 2/4 x $500 = $250

The net book value at the beginning of year 3 = $500 - $250 = $250

We can see that the net book value halfway through the useful is lower when double declining depreciation method is used
