Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces a

nd sells 7,500 units at $6.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $4.50 per unit, which includes $3.00 variable cost and $1.50 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,000 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $1,250 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:

Answer:

A special order for 1,125 units generates $1,250 in extra profit. This order (1,500 units) increases profits by $2,000

Explanation:

special order for 1,500 units at $5

regular production 7,500 units at $6

spare capacity 2,500 units (total capacity = 7,500 / 75% = 10,000)

production costs of regular units:

  • variable costs = $3 per unit
  • fixed costs = $1.50 per unit
  • total = $4.50 per unit

new machine is required that costs $1,000

regular fixed costs are not affected by special order

profit from special order:

  • total revenue = 1,500 x $5 = $7,500
  • relevant costs = 1,500 x $3 = ($4,500)
  • new machine = ($1,000)
  • additional profit from special order = $2,000

But Minor only wishes to earn $1,250 from special order, so the number of units should be:

($1,000 + $1,250) / ($5 - $3) = $2,250 / $2 = 1,125 units

Alex787 [66]

Answer: first one

As for Mortgage Option 3, not only is the interest rate higher (4.0%), but the remaining balance that is not paid has to be paid off completely in 8 years. After the down payment, they would have a $1,605 monthly payment which includes the fixed interest rate of 4.25% as well. Due to the short payment time, a borrower has a risk of loosing their home and equity if the final payment is not able to be made. Mortgage Option 2 has the lowest interest rate (3.5%) but these rates could be adjusted annually. Even though the interest rate is the highest, they would be able to afford it. Not only are they able to make these payments, Tanya and Demarco would also have. approximately $3,395 left to spend from their monthly earnings too.

Which of these statements about the production order quantity model is FALSE? The production order quantity model is appropriate
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Question is written again to add options:

A. The production order quantity model is appropriate when the assumptions of the basic EOQ model are met, except that receipt is noninstantaneous.

B.  Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity.

C. Because receipt is noninstantaneous, some units are used immediately and not stored in inventory.

D. All else equal, the smaller the ratio of demand rate to production rate, the smaller is the production order quantity.

E. None of these is false.

The correct answer is option B "Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity."

Explanation:

With an inventory, it is possible to separate parts of the production process , to separate assets from goods are yet to be produced or are already produced that could serve as a source of income for a company.

An average inventory is less than one-half of the production order quantity.

The production order quantity model doesn't make it possible for the ordered quantity to be received at one time.

The production order quantity model helps a company on how to manage inventory holding costs and the average fixed ordering cost, thereby making it possible for a company to check and minimize its inventory cost and to have a guide on what quantity to produce at every point in time.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

$7,986

Explanation:

To calculate the equivalent annual cost for 5 year period at an interest rate of 10% per year we need to go through some minor calculations first.

DATA

Cost in first year (A) = $10,000

Decrease in cost each year after the first year (G) = $560

Interest rate = 10%

Time period = 5 years

Solution

EAC = A - G (A/G, i, n)

EAC = $9,000 - $560(A/G, 10%, 5)

EAC = $9,000 - ($560 * 1.8101)

EAC = $9,000 - $1,013.656

EAC = $7,986
