1) Clancy's Motors has the following demand to meet for custom manufactured fuel injector parts. The holding cost for that item is $2 per month and each setup costs $80. Lead time is 0 months. Calculate the planned order releases using: (a) the EOQ technique, and (b) the POQ technique. And What are the costs of each plan, including the holding cost of any inventory left over after month 7? What technique performance is better.

Answer (Show all mathematical work):
(a) The monthly holding cost = $2/month
Average monthly demand = ??? units
The EOQ = ??? units
Total inventory held = ??? units
Setup costs = $???
Holding cost = $????
Total cost = $????
(b) POQ Interval = ?.??, round to # month.
Total inventory held = ? units
Setup costs = $???
Holding cost = $?
Total cost = $???

Luisa Crimini has been operating a beauty shop in a college town for the past 10 years. Recently, Luisa rented space next to her shop and opened a tanning salon. She anticipated that the costs for the tanning service would primarily be fixed, but found that tanning salon costs increased with the number of appointments. Costs for this service over the past 8 months are as follows:
| Tanning | |||||
| Month | Appointments | Total Cost | |||
| January | 800 | $1,748 | |||
| February | 2,100 | $2,110 | |||
| March | 3,600 | $2,840 | |||
| April | 2,600 | $2,400 | |||

Required:
1. Which month represents the high point? The low point?
| High point | March |
| Low point | January |
In your calculations, round per unit costs to the nearest cent.
2. Using the high-low method, compute the variable rate for tanning. Compute the fixed cost per month. Round the variable rate per tanning appointment to the nearest cent and use it in your further calculations. Round the fixed cost per month to the nearest dollar and use it in your further calculations.
| Variable rate for tanning | $ per tanning appointment |
| Fixed cost per month | $ |
3. Using the variable rate and fixed cost, what
is the cost formula for tanning services?
4. Calculate the total predicted cost of tanning services for September for 2,600 appointments using the formula found in Requirement 3. Of that total cost, how much is the total fixed cost for September? How much is the total predicted variable cost for September? If required, round the final answers to the nearest dollar.
| Total predicted cost for September | $ |
| Total fixed cost for September | $ |

The city of Seattle sells an average of 30,000 hotel rooms per night. Currently, those rooms have an average tax of $90. The city proposed an additional tax of $10 per room to help finance a stadium. Economists believe that without the tax, the city would average an extra 4000 rooms per night due to the new stadium. But with the tax, the number of rooms sold would fall to 27,000 even with the stadium. Based on these numbers, would it be smarter for the city to charge the proposed tax, or to use tax incremental financing to pay for the stadium?

True or false:
1) If a nation is selling more goods and services to foreigners than it is buying from them, then on net it must be selling assets abroad.
2) It is possible for a country to have domestic investment that exceeds national saving.
3) If a country’s trade surplus falls, its net capital outflow rises.
4) If the exchange rate is 80 yen per dollar, then a hotel room in Tokyo that costs 25,000 yen costs $200.
5) Other things the same, an increase in the nominal exchange rate raises the real exchange rate.
