Answer:

setup cost = $1.75

setup time = 2.625 min

Explanation:

given data

firm operates = 250 days per year

Annual demand = 22,000

Daily demand = 88

Daily production = 250

Desired lot size = 63 (2 hours of production)

Holding cost = $40 per unit per year

to find out

setup cost and setup time

solution

we find first setup cost that is express as

setup cost = $\frac{Q^2*H*(1-\frac{d}{p})}{2D}$ ......................1

here Q is Desired lot size and H is Holding cost and d is Daily demand and D is Annual demand and p is Daily production

put here value

setup cost = $\frac{63^2*40*(1-\frac{88}{250})}{2*22000}$

setup cost = $\frac{2969*40*(0.648)}{44000}$

setup cost = $1.75

and

setup time is

setup time = $\frac{setup\ cost}{setup\ labor}$ ....................2

setup time = $\frac{1.75*60min/hr}{40}$

setup time = 2.625 min

Molodets [167]

Answer:

$1,975 per year

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate Economic order quantity using the following formula:

Economic Order Quantity = √2DO / H

Here

A is Annual Demand which is 12,000 Units.

O is Ordering Cost per order $650 per order.

H is Holding or Carrying Cost per unit per year is $30 per unit per year.

By putting values, we have:

Economic Order Quantity = √(2 * 12,000 * $650) / 30 = 131.66 units

Now annual inventory holding costs can be calculated using the following formula:

Inventory Holding Cost = Average Inventory * Holding Cost

Here,

Average Inventory = EOQ /2 = 131.66 / 2 = 66 units

By putting values we have:

Annual Inventory Holding Cost = 66 * 20 = $1,975 per year

Joliet Company is planning to issue $1,000 par value bonds that have a coupon rate of 9.6%. The bonds will be sold at a market p

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Pre-tax cost of debt is 8.7%

After-tax cost of debt is 5.66%

Explanation:

the cost of debt financing before tax is the yield to maturity on the bond, which can be computed using the rate formula in excel.

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of times the bonds pay s interest which is 15*2=30

pmt is the semi-annual interest of the bond:9.6%/2*$1000=$48

pv is the current market price of $1,120 minus 4% flotation cost i.e 1120*96%=$1075.2

Fv is the face of the bond at $1000

=rate(30,48,-1075.2 ,1000)

rate=4.35% on semi-annual basis

rate =4.35%*2=8.7% on annual basis

after tax cost of debt =8.7%*(1-0.35)

=5.66%
