Southeastern Bell stocks a certain switch connector at its central warehouse for supplying field service offices. The yearly demand for these connectors is 15 comma 000 units. Southeastern estimates its annual holding cost for this item to be $25.00 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $75.00. The company operates 300 days per year, and the lead time to receive an order from the supplier is 2 working days. a) What is the economic order quantity? nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) What are the annual holding costs? $ nothing (round your response to the nearest whole number). c) What are the annual ordering costs? $ nothing (round your response to the nearest whole number). d) What is the reorder point? nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number).

A) plot the m1 and m2 money stock in the us from 1990-2015. (hint: you may use the data tools provided by fred.) (b) plot the nominal interest rate from 1960 to 2014. (hint: you can either use the daily interest rates for selected u.s. treasury, private money market and capital market instruments from or the effective federal funds rate fromfred.) (c) the consumer price index (cpi) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. intuitively, the cpi represents the cost of living or the average price level. plot the cpi from 1960 to 2013.(d) the inflation rate is the yearly percentage change in the average price level. in practice, we usually use the percentage change in the cpi to compute the inflation rate. plot the inflation rate from 1960 to 2013.(e) explain the difference between the ex-ante and ex-post real interest rate. use the fisher equation to compute the ex-post real interest rate. plot the nominal interest rate and the ex-post real interest rate from 1960 to 2013 in the same graph.

Ashop owner uses a reorder point approach to restocking a certain raw material. lead time is six days. usage of the material during lead time is normally distributed with a mean of 42 pounds and a standard deviation of four pounds. when should the raw material be reordered if the acceptable risk of a stockout is 3 percent?

Here are the expected cash flows for three projects: cash flows (dollars) project year: 0 1 2 3 4 a − 6,100 + 1,275 + 1,275 + 3,550 0 b − 2,100 0 + 2,100 + 2,550 + 3,550 c − 6,100 + 1,275 + 1,275 + 3,550 + 5,550 a. what is the payback period on each of the projects? b. if you use a cutoff period of 2 years, which projects would you accept?
