1) Correct the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Reorder point (ROP) quantities for each of the five items mentioned in the case.
We first predict the annual demand for the year 1972 based on trend for 4 months of 1972 based on corresponding months of 1971.
Calculations for Annual demand (R):
The assumption made here is that the same trend for sales as that for the four months of 1972 would be followed for the rest of the months of the 1972. Sales prediction for annual demand for year 1972 | | | | | | | | | | | | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Total Sales | Percentage Change over 1971 | Annual Demand | | | | | | | | | Vodka | | | | | | | | 1971 | 128 | 136 | 233 | 219 | 716 | | 2455 | 1972 | 210 | 303 | 275 | 463 | 1251 | 74.72 | 4289 | Gin | | | | | | | | 1971 | 51 | 52 | 74 | 157 | 334 | | 1421 | 1972 | 166 | 142 | 133 | 213 | 654 | 95.81 | 2782 | Scotch | | | | | | | | 1971 | 79 | 82 | 151 | 66 | 378 | | 800 | 1972 | 82 | 68 | 66 | 38 | 254 | -32.80 | 538 | Whiskey | | | | | | | | 1971 | 163 | 180 | 198 | 183 | 724 | | 3096 | 1972 | 177 | 163 | 162 | 256 | 758 | 4.70 | 3241 | Rum | | | | | | | | 1971 | 10 | 34 | 44 | 26 | 114 | | 449 | 1972 | 11 | 28 | 61 | 55 | 155 | 35.96 | 610 |

Calculations for Setup cost (S):

Size changeover cost = (cost of resetting all machinery for change in bottle size/ avg. no. of different items of given size processed between size changeover) = 23000 / (52X7X10) = $6.3186 per changeover

Label changeover cost = Labour cost incurred while label changeover process = (23000X0.5X8*)/(52X7) + 5X2.5X0.5 = $10.2 per labour changeover
*Assumption each working day is of 8 hrs.

    Music Tempo's Effect on Heart Rate

    Being a college student in this day in age is never easy. We are always on the move and become stressed very easily. One of the ways students deal with the pressure of ongoing assignments, papers, and various projects is to simply listen to music. Music is very popular to our specific age group, but is consuming different styles of music necessarily a healthy alternate to the stress? How does music affect the heart rate and what different types of music have a greater affect on heart rate? Music most definitely has emotional value. Heart rate can be directly influenced by these emotional changes. Our group decided to test music tempo’s effect on heart rate. This experiment is relevant to one’s health because it is important to understand how to control one’s heart rate. Before we started conducting our experiment, we hypothesized that fast tempo music increases heart rates while slower paced music would keep heart rate at a normal level.…

    Tiffany & Co. Case Analysis

    Tiffany has decided to sell direct in Japan as opposed to selling wholesale to Mitsukoshi and Mitsukoshi selling to the public. In this agreement Tiffany will give Mitsukoshi 27% of net retail sales in exchange for providing the boutique facilities, sales staff, collection of receivables, and security for store inventory. This new agreement exposes Tiffany to the fluctuation in the yen-dollar exchange rate. Therefore, they are considering two basic hedging alternatives to reduce exchange-rate risk on their yen cash flows. The first alternative was to sell yen for dollars at a predetermined price in the future using a forward contract. The second alternative was to purchase a yen put option allowing them to exercise their option only if it was more profitable in the future at the future spot rate. Two more alternatives that we think are appropriate are a synthetic forward using options and a synthetic forward using interest rate parity. Furthermore, Tiffany needs to understand the hedging alternatives and determine what, if any, strategy is right for them.…
