CU, Incorporated (CUI) produces copper contacts that it uses in switches and relays. CUI needs to determine the order quantity,

Q, to meet the annual demand at the lowest cost. The price of copper depends on the quantity ordered. Here are price-break and other data for the problem:
Price of copper $ 0.82 per pound up to 2,499 pounds

$ 0.81 per pound for orders between 2,500 and 5,000 pounds

$ 0.80 per pound for orders greater than 5,000 pounds

Annual demand 50,000 pounds per year

Holding cost 20 percent per unit per year of the price of the copper

Ordering cost $ 30


Which quantity should be ordered?

Answer:

If CUI buys at $0.82 per pound

Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds

Ordering  cost  per order (Co) = $30

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.82 = $0.164  

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                  H                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

EOQ = √<u>2 x  50,000 x  $30 </u>

                     $0.164

EOQ = 4,277 units

The solution is not feasible since 4,277 units could not be bought at $0.82 per pound.    

If CUI buys at $0.81 per pound

Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds

Ordering  cost  per order (Co) = $30

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.81 = $0.162  

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                 H      

EOQ = √<u>2 x  50,000 x  $30 </u>

                     $0.162

EOQ = 4,303 units

Total cost for 4,303 units

=  <u>DCo</u>   +   <u>QH  </u>  +      P x D                                                                        

     Q             2                

=  <u>50,000 x $30</u>  + <u>4,303  x $0.162</u>  +  $0.81 x 50,000

            4,303                  2

= $348.59 + $348.54  +  $40,500      

=  $41,197.13            

If CUI buys at $0.80 per pound

Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds

Ordering cost per order (Co) = $30

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.80 = $0.16  

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                  H                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

EOQ = √<u>2 x  50,000 x  $30 </u>

                     $0.16

EOQ = 4,330 units

The solution is not feasible since 4,330 units could not be bought at $0.80 per pound. Thus, EOQ is 5,001 units.    

Total cost for 5,001 units

=  <u>DCo</u>   +  <u> QH </u>   +      P x D                                                                        

     Q             2                

=  <u>50,000 x $30</u>  + <u>5,001  x $0.16</u>  +  $0.80 x 50,000

            5,001                  2

= $299.94 + $400.08  +   $40,000      

=  $40,700.02    

Thus, EOQ equals 5,001 units because the quantity minimises the total cost.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Explanation:

EOQ is a function of square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by holding cost per item per annum.

Since this question involves discounts, there is need to calculate EOQ at various discount levels. Holding cost is a function of price. For instance, when price is $0.82, holding cost is 20% of $0.82.    

We will calculate the EOQ at various prices and corresponding total cost.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Finally, we will consider the quantity that minimizes the total cost. Thus,  EOQ equals 5,001 units.

The defect rate for data entry of insurance claims at Sadegh Kazemi Insurance Co. has historically been about 1.50​%. This exerc
AURORKA [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Data provided in the question

defect rate i.e. \bar p = 1.50%

the sample size = n = 200

Now

S_p = \sqrt{\frac{\bar p (1 - \bar p)}{n} } \\\\= \sqrt{\frac{1.50\% (1 - 1.50\%)}{200} }

= 0.008595057

Now the 3 sigma control limits is

UCL_p = \bar p + 35p

= 0.015 + 3 (0.008595057 )

= 0.04078517

LCL_p = \bar p - 35p

= 0.015 - 3 (0.008595057 )

= 0

hence, the 3 sigma control limits are UCL 0.04078517 and LCL 0 respectively

Rudik [331]

Karen split her commission 50-50 with her broker. Therefore she is left with:

Karen’s commission = $3,522.75 * 0.5 = $1,761.375

Karen’s broker received 55% of the total commission. Therefore Karen must only be receiving 45% of the total commission. The total commission must be then:

Total commission = $1,761.375 / 0.45 = $3,914.17

On a rate of 7%, the sale price of the property must be:

Sale price = $3,914.17 / 0.07

Explanation:

There are three ways a manager can redesign an employee's job:

  1. job enrichment,
  2. job enlargement
  3. job rotation.

Job redesign is an technique using which job responsibilities, tasks are reviewed, and are re-allocated among the employees, to improve output. Redesigning jobs can lead to improvements in both productivity and in job satisfaction. of the employees

For example: Samantha is , a customer service representative  at a large call center. She performs the same task of attending phone calls  on a daily basis .This redundancy of task will lead to the reduction in the productivity of Samantha. To increase her productivity the HR plans to redesign her job,the HR might increase or decrease the number of calls she takes each day OR THEY  might plan to give her  training so that she can be moved to a more specialized group, such as tech support or sales,  or the HR  might  change  her role, such as to a supervisory or training position.

This change in the job profile(Job Redesign) of Samantha will lead to an increase in the productivity and motivation.
