43% of small businesses are either not tracking inventory or using manual processes, such as spreadsheets or pen-and-paper. This creates a higher probability of creating double entries, difficulties in placing and receiving orders, and time-consuming processes of locating stock, among other errors. Suppose you are appointed as a purchasing officer of a small business. You are asked to manage the purchases of NIDO (powder milk). The annual demand = 1500 units of NIDO, Delivered purchase cost = R25/units, Annual carrying cost percentage= 15percent, Order cost = R35/order. The lead time is 10 working days. Assuming 20 working days per month. a) Determine the Economic Order Quantityb) Determine the reorder pointc) Determine the average inventoryd) Suppose orders are placed only at review time. Find the optimal period and the optimal orderquantity.
A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationshipbetween the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150 − 0.01× Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., perprinting) = RM50,000 and the variable cost per unit= RM40. a) Analyze what is the maximum profit that can be achieved if the maximum expected demand is 6,000 units per year. b) Compute what is the unit price at this point of optimal demand.
CINESA, a government-owned power company that normally uses natural gas for electricity generation, is purchasing fuels other than natural gas and power from a commercially built wind farm, often at extra costs, which are transferred to the customer. Total monthly fuel and wind-power costs are now averaging $6,800,000. An engineer with the utility has calculated the average revenue for the past 24 months using three fuel-mix and wind-power situations: all gas, < 30% other or wind, and ≥ 30% other or wind. The table below shows the number of months for each situation and the associated revenue. If the same situation persists for the next 2 years, determine whether the utility’s revenue will be greater or less than the costs and by how much. Fuel/Wind Situation Months in Past 24 Average Revenue, $/Month All gas 12 $5,270,000 < 30% other/wind 9 $7,850,000 ≥ 30% other/wind 3 $12,130,000
A firm hasi nitial value V and has an investment opportunity costing 400 that will yield it an endpoint value of V +500 but it has to issue new shares to raise the required 400. Initially its owners own 10 shares that are currently selling at a market price of 80 per share. Note that this price may not necessarily reflect the true value per share– only the firm itself knows this. If it is indifferent between issuing and not issuing at the market price of 80, what is the initial true value of the firm V?
A CI is desired for the true average stray-load loss μ (watts) for a certain type of induction motor when the line current is held at 10 amps for a speed of 1500 rpm. Assume that strayload loss is normally distributed with σ = 3.0.a. Compute a 95% CI for μ when n = 25 and = 58.3.b. Compute a 95% CI for μ when n = 100 and = 58.3.c. Compute a 99% CI for μ when n = 100 and = 58.3.d. Compute an 82% CI for μ when n = 100 and = 58.3.e. How large must n be if the width of the 99% interval for μ is to be 1.0?
Suzy's Temporary Employee (STE) business, located in a big city, can do an online criminal background check in-house for $3.38 per search with a fixed cost of $28,000. A third-party online security firm offered to do a similar security search for $9.50 per person with an annual service contract with STE. If STE's forecast is 2,700 searches next year, should STE continue to do the search in-house or accept the third-party offer? Use the Excel template Break-Even to determine the best decision. Round your answer for the breakeven quantity to the nearest whole number and round your answer for the amount of saving/loss to the nearest dollar. Breakeven quantity: searches Since the demand forecast of 2,700 searches is than the breakeven quantity, STE outsource the work. STE $ by outsourcing.
Canuck Oil Corporation is a Canadian crude oil producer. Today is July 15. Canuck’s estimated oil production level in three months’ time will be 100,000 barrels. The current spot price for crude oil is US$90.29 per barrel. Between January 15 and now, crude oil prices have fluctuated from a high of $110.82 to a low of $90.56. Due to the unstable nature of crude oil prices, Canuck Oil’s financial manager, Mr. Petro Stark would like to hedge the crude price risk using crude oil futures contracts.
