Answer:

annual demand = 380 * 12 = 4,560

order cost = $8.50

annual holding cost = $0.45 * 25% = $0.1125

EOQ = √[(2 * 4,560 * $8.50) / $0.1125] = 830.10 ≈ 830 units

time between placement of orders = 830 units / 4,560 units = 0.182 years = 2.18 months

reorder point = 4,560 units * 2/12 (lead time) = 760 units

A new order should be placed when the inventory level is 760 units

stellarik [79]

Answer:

a. The party control of government when Congress passed legislation in 2014 to repeal the ACA was when Republicans gained majority seats in both chambers of Congress.  This Republican control of Congress was the catalyst for the repeal of the ACA in 2014.

b. The Republican representative who cast a vote in favor of the ACA bill in 2009 followed strictly his constituency mandate.

c. When President Obama vetoed the ACA repeal, the Republicans could proceed to court to try to use the judicial branch of government to implement their legislative goals by requesting for constitutional interpretation of the repealed bill.

If this had happened, it would have seriously hampered the implementation and success of the Affordable Care Act for partisan reasons.

Explanation:

a) Congress is the legislative arm of government that makes the law.  The executive implements the law.  The judiciary is in charge of the interpretation and application the law to real situations.  But when the President vetoes a bill, Congress can override the veto by ensuring that 2/3 of both chambers pass the law.  Alternatively, Congress can ask for a judicial interpretation.

Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis? Check all that apply. A firm may operate
Art [367]

Answer: A firm may operate in multiple industries.

Different firms may use different accounting practices.

Explanation:

Ratio Analysis as you probably know is a very useful tool in financial analysis. It works by comparing ratios based on items in the financial statements of a company to measure certain things such as the Company's Liquidity, Profitability and the like.

It does have certain drawbacks though such as,

A firm may operate in multiple industries

When a firm is operating in multiple industries. Comparing ratios is not a simple task. Different industries record profits and costs differently and just because a ratio is held in high esteem on one company does not mean it is good in another thereby making comparison based on ratios alone quite cumbersome.

Different firms may use different accounting practices

Now if different companies use different Accounting practices, you might find that ratios cannot be straightforwardly compared because different types of figures were used by the different companies. For instance, some companies might use a Straight Line Depreciation method as opposed to a Reducing Balance method which will have varying effects on income.
