Give me true answer this general accounting question
The ordering cost for a certain product is $8 per order and the holding cost is $1 per year. The annual demand is 2400 units. Consider the following ordering plans: plan 1: Order all 2400 at one time plan 2: Order 400 once each quarter plan 3: Order 100 once each month Determine: (a) Calculate the annual total costs associated with each plan (plan 1, 2 and 3), and compare the costs (total cost, holding costs and ordering cost). (b) Is there another plan, cheaper than any of these? Calculate the total cost of the cheaper or optimal plan; and for the optimal plan determine how many times in a year an order needs to be in place. (c) In the basic EOQ model, if the cost of placing an order doubles, and all other values remain constant, will the new EOQ increase or decrease then by what percentage.
A hardware store sells paint that has a demand of 9,706 gallons per year. The store purchases the paint from a supplier for 11.2 dollars per gallon The unit holding cost per year is 24 percent of the unit purchase cost. while the ordering cost is 175 dollars per order. The paint supplier has a lead time of 10 days. What is the annual ordering cost if the store uses the order quantity of 2,103 gallons per order? Assume EOQ model is appropriate. Use at least 4 decimal places.

A manager just received a new price list from a supplier. It will now cost $1.00 a box for orderquantities of 801 or more boxes, $1.10 a box for 200 to 800 boxes, and $1.20 a box for smallerquantities. Ordering cost is $80 per order and carrying costs are $10 per box a year. The firm uses3,600 boxes a year. The manager has suggested a “round number” order size of 800 boxes. Themanager’s rationale is that with a U-shaped cost curve that is fairly flat at its minimum, the difference in total annual cost between 800 and 801 units would be small anyway. How would you replyto the manager’s suggestion? What order size would you recommend?
Suppose Stanley's Office Supply purchases 50,000 boxes of pens every year. Ordering costs are $100 per order, carrying costs are 5% of the inventory value, and the price is of $2.00 per box. The vendor now offers a quantity discount of 1% per box if the company buys pens in order sizes of 20,000 boxes. Should the company accept the quantity discount?
