Economic Order Quantity And Reorder Point
Pace Retailers’ best-selling item is its reinforced bicycle tires. Pace sells 4,745 of these tires each year. It costs approximately $200 for Pace to place a purchase order, and it costs on average about $2.50 per tire per year for inventory overhead costs. The retail price of the tires is $12.50.

What is the economic order quantity of tires Pace should order at one time?


Suppose the lead time to receive a purchase order of reinforced bicycle tires is 13 days. To ensure adequate inventories at all times, Pace maintains a safety stock of 80 tires. Assuming Pace sells the 4,745 bicycle tires uniformly over the 365 days of the year, what is Pace’s reorder point?

Credit Decision/Repeat Sales.
Locust Software sells computer training packages to its business customers at a price of $101. The cost of production (in present value terms) is $96. Locust sells its packages on terms of net 30 and estimates that about 7 percent of all orders will be uncollectible. An order comes in for 20 units. The interest rate is 1 percent per month.

a. Should the firm extend credit if this is a one-time order? The sale will not be made unless credit is extended.



b. What is the break-even probability of collection?



c. Now suppose that if a customer pays this month’s bill, it will place an identical order in each month indefinitely and can be safely assumed to pose no risk of default. Should credit be extended?



d. What is the break-even probability of collection in the repeat-sales case?

Compensating Balances.
Suppose that Dynamic Sofa (a subsidiary of Dynamic Mattress) has a line of credit with a stated interest rate of 10 percent and a compensating balance of 25 percent. The compensating balance earns no interest.

a. If the firm needs $10,000, how much will it need to borrow?






b. Suppose that Dynamic’s bank offers to forget about the compensating balance requirement if the firm pays interest at a rate of 12 percent. Should the firm accept this offer? Why or why not?






c. Redo part (b) assuming the compensating balance pays interest of 4 percent. Warning: You cannot use the formula in the chapter for the effective interest rate when the compensating balance pays interest. Think about how to measure the effective interest rate on this loan.

Sherwood Company is using these financial statements to entice investors to buy stock in the company. However, a recent FBI investigation revealed that the sale of real estate was a fabricated transaction with a fictitious company that was recorded to make the financial statements look better. The sales price was $5,000,000 with a zero cash down payment and a $5,000,000 receivable.

Prepare financial statements for Sherwood Company showing what its total assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, and income really are with the sale of real estate removed.

here is what I have gathered Total assets _ $7,801,300
