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.

Answer:

D. Logical fallacies are unethical because they use logic to emphasize falsehood.

Explanation:

A logical fallacy is reasoning or error of argument which is logically incorrect and renders the validity of an argument invalid.

There are types of logical fallacies such as Ad Hominem, Straw man, etc.

Logical fallacies are easily identified because they usually lack evidence to support their claim.

When something is said to be unethical, it means that it is morally wrong.

Therefore, the false statement from the list is that logical fallacies are unethical because they use logic to emphasize falsehood.
