Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

First calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) ignoring the discount.

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)= √ (2DS/H)

D- Demand per year= 3400 pounds

S- Ordering cost per year= $100

Per unit cost= $3 per pound

H- Holding (carrying) cost per unit per year=$0.51( 17% of purchase price)

So by applying the above formula, we get the following answer:

EOQ= SQRT (2*3400*100/0.51)= 1154.70 units

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)= 1154 units

Discounted Order Quantity (DOQ) = 1500 units

Annual Orders under EOQ = Demand ÷ EOQ = 3400 ÷ 1154 = 3 orders

Annual Orders under DOQ = Demand ÷ DOQ = 3400÷ 1500 = 2.40 or 3 orders

Average Inventory under EOQ = EOQ ÷ 3 = 1154 ÷ 3 = 384.90 units

Average Inventory under DOQ = DOQ ÷ 3 = 1500 ÷ 3 = 500 units

A-Saving from reduction in Price

= Demand × Full Price × Discount Rate

= 3400× 3 × 0.33 = $ 3366

B-Saving from reduction in orders

= Orders reduced × Order Cost

= (3− 3) × 100 = 0

C-Increase in holding cost

= Increase in average inventory × holding cost per unit per annum

Holding cost is 17% of purchase price

So for 500 units it is=$170 (17% of $2 per pound)

For 384.90 units= $196.30 (17% of $3 per pound)

Increase in holding cost= 170-196.30= $-26.30

Net savings on discount order quantity = A + B − C = 3366 + 0 – (-26.30) = $3392.30

Since the net effect on income is positive, the store should place the order for quantity discount.

a. $181.17

b. $218.82

c. $319.21

Explanation:

If the borrower repays the loan after 2 ​year

PV = $150

n = 2

r =  9.9​%

P/yr = 1

Pmt = $0

FV = ?

Using a financial calculator, FV = $181.1702

The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 ​year is $181.17.

If the borrower repays the loan after 4 ​years

PV = $150

n = 4

r =  9.9​%

P/yr = 1

Pmt = $0

FV = ?

Using a financial calculator, FV = $218.8175

The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 ​year is $218.82.

If the borrower repays the loan after 8 ​years

PV = $150

n = 8

r =  9.9​%

P/yr = 1

Pmt = $0

FV = ?

Using a financial calculator, FV = $319.2073

The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 ​year is $319.21.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer and explanation:

The influence a company may have over another when one of them has a number of shares that belongs to the other is determined by the percentage of ownership that the number of shares represent. If its lower than 20%, it is said the company has <em>no influence</em> over the other. From 20% to 50% one company has <em>significant influence</em> over the other. Finally, with more than 50% of the outstanding shares in possession, one company has <em>control </em>over the other.

In that case, CBS Corp. has no influence over Westwood One, Inc. since it owns only 18% of the outstanding shares.
