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.

Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 14% and a standard deviation of 30%. The T-bill rate
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a. 87.5%

b. Stock A: 21%; Stock B: 28%; Stock C: 38.5%; T-bill: 12.5%

c. Standard deviation of the client's portfolio: 26.25%

Explanation:

a. y is calculated as:

Risky portfolio return * y +  T-bill return * (1 - y) = Expected return of the portfolio <=> 0.14y + 0.06 ( 1-y) = 0.13 <=> y = 87.5%

b. Client investment in each stock and in T-bills:

Client investment in each stock = 0.875 * percentage of each stock in a risky portfolio ( because the risky portfolio is accounted for 87.5% of the whole investment)

=> Stock A = 24% x 0.875 = 21% ; Stock B = 32% * 0.875 = 28% ; Stock C = 44 * 0.875 = 38.5%

Client investment in T-bill = 1- y = 1 - 0.875 = 12.5%

c. Standard deviation is calculated as: Standard deviation of risky portfolio * y = 30% * 87.5% = 26.25% (because standard deviation of return in T-bill is 0)
