M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.

Rosie and her brother michael decided recently to purchase an rv together. they both want to use the rv to take their families camping. the price of the rv was $10,000. since michael expects to use the rv 60% of the time and rosie 40% of the time, michael contributed $6,000 and rosie contributed $4,000. their ownership percentage equals their contribution percentage. which type of property titling should they use to reflect their ownership interest?

Suppose that a paving company produces paved parking spaces (q) using a fixed quantity of land (t) and variable quantities of cement (c) and labor (l). the firm is currently paving 1,000 parking spaces. the firm's cost of cement is $3 comma 600.003,600.00 per acre covered (c) and its cost of labor is $35.0035.00/hour (w). for the quantities of c and l that the firm has chosen, mp subscript upper c baseline equals 60mpc=60 and mp subscript upper l baseline equals 7mpl=7. is this firm minimizing its cost of producing parking spaces?
