Answer:
Cherry Jalopies, Inc.:
mean = (0.22 + 0.11 - 0.04 + 0.06 + 0.09) / 5 = 0.52 / 5 = 0.104
variance = [(0.22 - 0.104)² + (0.11 - 0.104)² + (-0.04 - 0.104)² + (0.06 - 0.104)² + (0.09 - 0.104)²] / 5 = (0.013456 + 0.000036 + 0.020736 + 0.001936 + 0.000196) / 5 = 0.007272
standard deviation = √0.007272 = 0.085276 = 8.53%
Straw Construction Company:
mean = (0.16 + 0.23 - 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.17) / 5 = 0.56 / 5 = 0.112
variance = [(0.16 - 0.112)² + (0.23 - 0.112)² + (-0.01 - 0.112)² + (0.01 - 0.112)² + (0.17 - 0.112)²] / 5 = (0.002304 + 0.013924 + 0.014884 + 0.010404 + 0.003364) / 5 = 0.008976
standard deviation = √0.008976 = 0.09474 = 9.47%
Answer:
a) 2,093
b) It will reorder once there are 420 units left (demand during lead-time)
c) 34 days
Explanation:
a) economic order quantity
<u>Where:</u>
D = annual demand = 21,900
S= setup cost = ordering cost = 50
H= Holding Cost = 0.50
EOQ = 2092.844954
b) it takes four days to arrive:
if it sale 420 units per week then:
420 x 4/7 = 240 units are demand during delivery
c) order cycle:
EOQ / Annual Demand
2,093 / 21,900 = 0,09557 x 365 = 34.8333 days
It will order every 34 days (if it orders after 35 days will face shortage)
Answer:
Leverage buyout
Explanation:
Leverage buyout refers to the acquisition of another company using debt as the main source of financing the deal. The acquiring company borrows from various sources and will often use the assets of the acquired company as collateral. In leverage buyout, the acquiring entity borrows up to 80 percent or more and finances the balance with its equity.
The use of debt enhances the rate of return of the acquiring firm. Greystone Group is using 5 million of its funds and borrowing 20 million. The debts represent 80 percent of the cost of acquisition. The acquiring entity can achieve a higher rate of return by using as little of its funds as possible.
