Thomas Kratzer is the purchasing manager for the headquarters of a large insurance company chain with a central inventory operation. Thomas's fastest-moving inventory item has a demand of 5,900 units per year. The cost of each unit is $102, and the inventory carrying cost is $9 per unit per year. The average ordering cost is $29 per order. It takes about 5 days for an order to arrive, and the demand for 1 week is 118 units. (This is a corporate operation, and there are 250 working days per year).
Required:
a. What is the EOQ?
b. What is the average inventory if the EOQ is used?
c. What is the optimal number of orders per year?
d. What is the optimal number of days in between any two orders?
e. What is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory?
f. What is the total annual inventory cost, including cost of the 6,000 units?
Answer: Please find answers below
Explanation:
(a) Economic order quantity EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{2 X Annual Demand X Ordering Cost) / Carrying Cost)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 5,900 X 29 / 9 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{38,022.222}[/tex]
= 194.99 units
(b) Average number of units = Economic order quantity / 2
= 194.99 / 2
= 97.496 units
(c) Optimal number of orders = Annual Demand / Economic order quantity
= 5,900units / 194.99 units =30.26
(d) Optimal number of days between two orders = Number of working days / Optimal number of orders
= 250 days / 30.26
= 8.26
Total ordering cost = Cost per order X Number of orders
= $29 X 30.26
= $ 877.54
Total holding cost = Average inventory X carrying cost per unit
= 194.99 /2 X $9
= $877.455
(e) Annual cost of ordering and holding inventorY =Total ordering cost + Total carrying cost
= $ 877.54 + $877.455
= $ 1,754.995 ≈ $1,755
(f) Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 5900 units at $102 per unit
= $ 877.54 + $877.455 + (5,900 x 102) = $1754.995 +601,800= $603,554.995≈$603,555
Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 6000 units at $102 per unit
= $ 877.54 + $877.455 + (6000 x 102) = $1754.995 +612,000= $613,754.995≈$613,755
During the year, Bramble Corp. made an entry to write off a $31400 uncollectible account. Before this entry was made, the balance in accounts receivable was $413000 and the balance in the allowance account was $34500. The accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after the write-off entry was
Answer:
The accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after the write-off entry is $378,500
Explanation:
Allowance for bad debt = $34,500
Bad debt written off = $31,400
Credit balance in allowance for bad debts = Allowance for bad debt - Bad debt written off
= $34,500 - $31,400
= $3,100
The balance in receivables account = ($413,000 - $31,400) - ($34,500 - $31,400)
= $381,600 - $3,100
= $378,500
Ornaments, Inc., is an all-equity firm with a total market value of $597,000 and 26,200 shares of stock outstanding. Management believes the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) will be $84,900 if the economy is normal. If there is a recession, EBIT will be 20 percent lower, and if there is a boom, EBIT will be 30 percent higher. The tax rate is 34 percent. What is the EPS in a recession
Answer:
The EPS in a recession is $1.71.
Explanation:
Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks = ($84,900 - ($84,900 × 0.34)) × 80 %
= $44,827.20
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks = 26,200 shares
Earnings per share (EPS) = $44,827.20 ÷ 26,200 shares
= $1.71

Savings in cost $3,733.54
Conclusion: Manufacturing the hard cardboard box internally will save cost of $3,733.54 as compared to cost of purchasing the same quantity of box needed from supplier.
Note: Fixed costs is not relevant cost as it is unavoidable.
Kaskin, Inc., stock has a beta of 1.2 and Quinn, Inc., stock has a beta of 0.6. Which of the following statements is most accurate? The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn. The stock of Kaskin has more total risk than Quinn. The stock of Quinn has more systematic risk than that of Kaskin.
Answer:
The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn.
Explanation:
Option A “The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn” is more accurate because the expected return is calculated by multiplying the risk premium with beta value and then adding with risk-free return. However, if the beta value is high, then the magnitude after multiplying with the risk premium will be high. Moreover, is magnitude will be added to risk-free return to find the expected return. Thus, it can be seen that Kaskin has high beta 1.2 as compared to Quinn’s beta value 0.6. So, the Kaskin has a higher expected return.

Tom Company reports the following data.
Sales $385,187
Variable costs 200,887
Fixed costs 87,300
Required:
Determine Tom Company's operating leverage. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Answer: 1.9
Explanation:
The Operating Leverage is calculated by;
Operating leverage = Contribution margin / Operating income
Contribution Margin
= Sales - Variable Costs

To determine cash payments for operating expenses for the statement of cash flows using the direct method, a decrease in accrued expenses is added to operating expenses other than depreciation.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
To determine cash payments under direct method the decrease in accrued expenses is added to the operating expenses payable . Accrued expense mean expenses incurred but not yet paid. A decrease in accrued expenses would suggest that accrued expenses have been paid therefore there has been an outflow of cash which will be added to cash paid for operating expenses.
Central Systems desires a weighted average cost of capital of 12.7 percent. The firm has an aftertax cost of debt of 4.8 percent and a cost of equity of 15.4 percent. What debt-equity ratio is needed for the firm to achieve its targeted weighted average cost of capital?
a. 0.37
b. 0.44
c. 0.42
d. 0.56
e. 0.34
Answer:
e. 0.34
Explanation:
Let debt be $D
Equity be $E
Total=(D+E)
WACC = Respective cost * Respective weight
12.7 = {(D*4.8)/(D+E)} + {(15.4*E)/(D+E)}
12.7*(D+E)=4.8D+15.4E
12.7D+12.7E=4.8D+15.4E
D=(15.4-12.7)E /(12.7-4.8)
D = 2.7E / 7.9
D = 0.0341772
D = 0.34 E
Hence, debt-equity ratio=debt/equity
=0.34

C. debit Cash for $10, 000 and credit Gain on Sale of Equipment for $10, 000
D. debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000 and credit Equipment for $66, 000
Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the equipment on the date of sale.
Net Book Value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Net Book value = 72000 - 66000 = $6000
The gain/(loss) on disposal = Sales Proceeds - Net Book value
The gain/(loss) on disposal = 10000 - 6000 = $4000 Gain
The entry to record this transaction will be,
Cash $10000 Dr
Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $66000 Dr
Equipment $72000 Cr
Gain on sale-Equipment $4000 Cr
