Mountain Tent Company orders one of its main components from three suppliers. The amount ordered from supplier A is 144,000/year, from supplier B is 86,400/year, and from supplier C is 12,000/year. During year 2002, Mountain Tent company used an independent EOQ policy for ordering from each of the three suppliers with a fixed ordering cost $800 plus a supplier-dependent shipping cost with $200/order with supplier A, $60/order with supplier B and $120/order with supplier C. The holding cost is h=$30/(unit, yr). Calculate the total annual operation cost (all ordering and inventory holding costs) based on the EOQ policy for year 2002. The company is thinking to consolidate the supply base by sourcing the total amount only from supplier B, how much the company may save annually in operating costs if the consolidation is taken?

Peninsula products has just applied for a loan at your bank. when reviewing peninsula's books for the year that just ended, you notice that the firm uses the fair value option for its bonds payable. you also see that the firm recorded a $55,000 debit in its bonds payable account and a $55,000 credit in its unrealized holding gain or loss"income account. over that same period, interest rates decreased by about 0.5 percent. how should this information affect the bank's decision as to whether to grant peninsula a loan? a : the bank should strongly consider giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen an increase in its credit rating over the past year. b : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely the result of the rise in interest rates. c : the bank should hesitate before giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen a decline in its credit rating over the past year. d : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely unrelated to either interest rates or the firm's credit rating.
