Answer:
a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand
z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053
√lead time = √7 = 2.6458
standard deviation of demand = 3
safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps
reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps
EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]
S = order cost = $10
D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840
H = $0.05
EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps
b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22
total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20
total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42
Answer: 15.42%
Explanation: PV ( present value) = $21,320
FV (Future Value) =$ 32.1 million.
Years(y) = 1947-1998 = 51years
r = (FV/PV)^(1/y) - 1
r = ( $32,100,000 / $21,320) ^ ( 1/51) - 1
r = ( $1505.6285)^ ( 0.0196) - 1
r = 1.15421 - 1
r = 0.0154205 X 100%
r = 15.42%
Answer: Pure play
Explanation:
A pure play method in finance is an approach that is used to estimate and determine the cost of equity capital of a private company which involves looking at the beta coefficient of other single focused and public companies.
Pure-play companies are the companies that are involved in a single line of business.
Answer:
B) Country A uses fewer resources to produce corn than Country B does.
Explanation:
An absolute advantage is a situation where a country or a company can produce some goods and services using fewer inputs compared to competitors. The company can produce more quantity of using the same amount of inputs than others. A country with an absolute advantage will manufacture a product at a lower cost than other countries or companies.
Absolute advantage enables companies and countries to gain from trade. Through specialization, a company will focus on what it can produce at a lower cost than others, and sell it. Country A has an absolute advantage if it can produce corn at a lower cost than country B.
