Economic order quantity, effect of parameter changes (continuation of 20-21). Sportsman Textiles (ST) manufactures the Galaxy jerseys that Wonder Line (WL) sells to its customers. ST has recently Installed computer software that enables its customers to conduct “one-stop” purchasing using state-of-the-art Web site technology. WL’s ordering cost per purchase order will be $40 using this new technology.
- 1. Calculate the EOQ for the Galaxy jerseys using the revised ordering cost of $40 per purchase order. Assume all other data from Exercise 20-21 are the same. Comment on the result.
Required
- 2. Suppose ST proposes to “assist” WL. ST will allow WL customers to order directly from the ST Web site. ST would ship directly to these customers. ST would pay $12 to WL for every Galaxy jersey purchased by one of WL’s customers. Comment qualitatively on how this offer would affect inventory management at WL. What factors should WL consider in deciding whether to accept ST’s proposal?
20-21 Economic order quantity for retailer. Wonder Line (WL) operates a megastore featuring sports merchandise. It uses an EOQ decision model to make inventory decisions. It is now considering inventory decisions for its Los Angeles Galaxy soccer jerseys product line. This is a highly popular item. Data for 2017 are as follows:
Expected annual demand for Galaxy jerseys | 9,000 |
Ordering cost per purchase order | $250 |
Carrying cost per year | $8 per jersey |
Each jersey costs WL $50 and sells for $100. The $8 carrying cost per jersey per year consists of the required return on investment of $5.00 (10% × $50 purchase price) plus $3.00 in relevant insurance, handling, and storage costs. The purchasing lead time is 5 days. WL is open 365 days a year.
- 1. Calculate the EOQ.
Required
- 2. Calculate the number of orders that will be placed each year.
- 3. Calculate the reorder point.

- Ottis, Inc., uses 640,000 plastic housing units each year in its production of paper shredders. The cost of placing an order is 30. The cost of holding one unit of inventory for one year is 15.00. Currently, Ottis places 160 orders of 4,000 plastic housing units per year. Required: 1. Compute the economic order quantity. 2. Compute the ordering, carrying, and total costs for the EOQ. 3. How much money does using the EOQ policy save the company over the policy of purchasing 4,000 plastic housing units per order?arrow_forwardDeuce Sporting Goods manufactures a high-end model tennis racket. The company’s forecasted income statement for the year, before any special orders, is as follows: Fixed costs included in the forecasted income statement are $400,000 in manufacturing cost of goods sold and $200,000 in selling expenses. A new client placed a special order with Deuce, offering to buy 1,000 tennis rackets for $100.00 each. The company will incur no additional selling expenses if it accepts the special order. Assuming that Deuce has sufficient capacity to manufacture 1,000 more tennis rackets, by what amount would differential income increase (decrease) as a result of accepting the special order? (Hint: First compute the variable cost per unit relevant to this decision.)arrow_forwardThe Port Authority sells a wide variety of cables and adapters for electronic equipment online. Last year the mean value of orders placed with the Port Authority was 47.28, and management wants to assess whether the mean value of orders placed to date this year is the same as last year. The values of a sample of 49,896 orders placed this year are collected and recorded in the tile PortAuthority. a. Formulate hypotheses that can be used to test whether the mean value of orders placed this year differs from the mean value of orders placed last year. b. Use the data in the file PortAuthority to conduct your hypothesis test. What is the p value for your hypothesis test? At = 0.01, what is your conclusion?arrow_forward
- Rugged Outfitters purchases one model of mountain bike at a wholesale cost of $520 per unit and resells it to end consumers. The annual demand for the company’s product is 49,000 units. Ordering costs are $500 per order and carrying costs are $100 per bike per year, including $40 in the opportunity cost of holding inventory. Q. Compute the optimal order quantity using the EOQ model.arrow_forwardA company manufactures various-sized plastic bottles for its medicinal product. The manufacturing cost for small bottles is $52 per unit (100 bottles), including fixed costs of $10 per unit.

Nautical’s contribution margin income statement for the month ended December 31, 2018, contains the following data: Suppose Water Works wishes to buy 4,800 vests from Nautical. Nautical will not incur any variable selling and administrative expenses on the special order. The Nautical plant has enough unused capacity to manufacture the additional vests. Water Works has offered $15 per vest, which is below the normal sales price of $19. Requirements Identify each cost in the income statement as either relevant or irrelevant to Nautical’s decision. Prepare a differential analysis to determine whether Nautical should accept this special sales order. Identity long—term factors Nautical should consider in deciding whether to accept the special sales order.arrow_forward

The annual demand for the company’s product is 49,000 units. Ordering costs are $500 per order and carrying costs are $100 per bike per year, including $40 in the opportunity cost of holding inventory. Q. Assume that when evaluating the manager, the company excludes the opportunity cost of carrying inventory. If the manager makes the EOQ decision excluding the opportunity cost of carrying inventory, the relevant carrying cost would be $60, not $100. How would this affect the EOQ amount and the actual annual relevant cost of ordering and carrying inventory?arrow_forwardClothes, Inc., has an average annual demand for red, medium polo shirts of 25,000 units.

- Make or Buy - Home Grocery (HG) provides home delivery of groceries. Customers submit orders to the HG website by selecting the needed items from a menu. Currently, HG has employees who deliver the groceries, but the company is considering the option of contracting out deliveries. The fixed cost of the grocery delivery operation is $500,000 per year, of which, $200,000 is avoidable if grocery deliveries are contracted out. A statistical study suggests delivery costs vary with both the number of customers and the number of items purchased. On average, the fixed annual delivery cost per customer is $250 and the average variable delivery cost of each grocery item delivered is $0.50. On average, each customer purchases 1,000 grocery items per year. Therefore, if there are 2,000 customers budgeted, the number of grocery item deliveries will be 2 million. Custom delivery (CD) has offered to deliver groceries for HG as a flat rate of $850 per customer per year irrespective of the number of…arrow_forwardRatliff Appliances Company makes a household appliance with model number RM16.
