Maverick law office currently orders ink refills 120 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 40% of the $10 unit cost and that annual demand is about 480 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its current action (order quantity) be optimal

Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Demand= 480 units per year

Order cost= $10

Holding cost= 10*0.4= $4

Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.

Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]

D= Demand in units

S= Order cost

H= Holding cost

Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*480*10) / 4]

Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √(2,400)

Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
