EOQ analysis

Thompson Paint Company uses 60,000 gallons of pigment per year. The cost of ordering pigment is $200 per order, and the cost of carrying the pigment in inventory is $1 per gallon per year. The firm uses pigment at a constant rate every day throughout the year.

  1. a. Calculate the EOQ.
  2. b. Assuming that it takes 20 days to receive an order once it has been placed, determine the reorder point in terms of gallons of pigment. (Note: Use a 365-day year.)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The Economic order quantity (EOQ).

Answer to Problem 15.2STP

The Economic order quantity (EOQ) is 4,899 gallons.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Annual usage: 60,000 gallons

Ordering cost: $200 per gallon

Carrying cost:$1.00 per gallon

Calculation of the EOQ:

EOQ=2×Annualusage×OderingcostCarryingcost=2×60,000×$200$1.00=4,899gallons

Therefore, the EOQ is 4,899 gallon..

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reorder point in terms of gallons of pigment, if it take 20 day to r3ecive pigment per year.

Answer to Problem 15.2STP

The reorder point in terms of gallons of pigment, if it take 20 day to r3ecive pigment per year is 3,287.6 gallons.

Explanation of Solution

Lead time: 20 days.

Calculation of the daily usage:

Dailyusage=Annualusage365=60,000365=164.38

Calculation of the reorder point:

Reoderpoint=Leadtime×dailyusage=20days×164.38gallonperdays=3,287.6gallon

Therefore, the reorder point is 3,287.6gallons.

An insurance company has liabilities of £7 million due in 10 years' time and £9 million due in 17 years' time. The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective. Find the nominal value of X (i.e. the amount, IN MILLIONS, that bond X pays in 7 year's time) such that the first two conditions for Redington's theory of immunisation are satisfied. Express your answer to THREE DECIMAL PLACES.
An individual is investing in a market where spot rates and forward rates apply. In this market, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 for two years, he will receive £7.4 at time t=2 years. Alternatively, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 at time t=1 for either one year or two years, he will receive £7.5 or £7.3 at times t=2 and t=3, respectively. Calculate the price per £5,000 nominal that the individual should pay for a fixed-interest bond bearing annual interest of 6.6% and is redeemable after 3 years at 110%. State your answer at 2 decimal places.
The one-year forward rates of interest, f+, are given by: . fo = 5.06%, f₁ = 6.38%, and f2 = 5.73%. Calculate, to 4 decimal places (in percentages), the three-year par yield.
