Answer:

a) 749

b) 4.073

Explanation:

Given:

Mean = demand = 80 pounds

Standard deviation of demand = 10 pounds

Lead time = 8 days

Standard deviation of lead time = 1 day

a) What ROP would provide a stock out risk of 10 percent during lead time.

To find this re-order point (ROP) quantity, take the formula:

ROP = d(LT) + z \sqrt{ LT \sigma_d ^2 +  LT^2 \sigma_L_T ^2}

Here, service level = 100%-10% = 90%,

Thus z at 90% = ±1.28

ROP = 80(8) + 1.28 \sqrt{8* 10^2 +  (8)^2*(1)^2}

ROP = 640 + 1.28\sqrt{800 +  64}

= 640 + 1.28* 84.85

= 748.61

≈ 749 units

b) What is the expected number of units (pounds) short per cycle.

Find the number of units shorts per cycle. Take the formula:

E(n) = E(z) * \sigma d_L_T

[

Where E(z) = standardized number of shorts = 0.048

\sigma d_L_T = standard deviation of lead time demand = 84.85

Therefore,

E(n) = 0.048 * 84.85

= 4.073

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

C) Yes, income will increase by $250.

Explanation:

normal selling price $8

special order for 15,000 at $4 each

incremental costs per plane:

  • direct materials $1.25
  • direct labor $2.05
  • variable manufacturing overhead $0.50
  • decals $0.05
  • total $3.85 per plane

plus $2,000 in special machine

gain/loss resulting from special order = total revenue - incremental costs per plane - special machine = ($4 x 15,000) - ($3.85 x 15,000) - $2,000 = $60,000 - $57,750 - $2,000 = $250

net profits will increase by $250

noname [10]

Answer:

B) $4,200; $4,800

Explanation:

total delivery expense = $9,000

                                                       Dept. Y                           Dept. X

direct expenses                             $1,000                                   $0*

indirect expenses             ($8,000 x 40%)               ($8,000 x 60%)

<u>                                                       $3,200                           $4,800   </u>

total delivery expenses               $4,200                            $4,800

*Since no direct delivery expenses were generated by Dept. X, no amount should be allocated. Indirect expenses are allocated based on the percent generated by each department.

Inflation is skyrocketing, and prices are out of control. What are banks most likely to ask the Federal Reserve to do with regar
stepladder [879]
<span>If inflation is running high, the Fed will raise interest rates, sell bonds on the open market, and raise the reserve ratio (if it comes to that. It rarelyever does). Raising interest rates makes money "more rare". Selling bonds decreases the reserves of banks, which decreases their lending capabilities (again, making money more rare). The reserve ration is the "nuclear option" of monetary policy. I hope this would help </span>

Murljashka [212]
The cost of goods sold for the year is $500. 

Since FIFO method is to be used, the cost of goods sold for the year should be the cost of its first purchase regardless of when the product is actually bought. Thus, the cost of goods sold for the year is $500 ($500 × 1).

Harmony Company sells hand-knit scarves. Each scarf sells for $40. The company pays $60 to rent vending space for one day. The v
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

B) 3 scarves

Explanation:

total fixed costs per day = $60 (rent)

selling price per scarf = $40

variable cost per scarf = $15

contribution margin = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit = $40 - $15 = $25

break even formula in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin = $60 / $25 = 2.4 units, since you can only sell complete units, the break even amount is 3 scarves.
