The catering manager of LaVista Hotel, Lisa Ferguson, is disturbed by the amount of silverware she is losing every week. Last Friday night, when her crew tried to set up for a banquet, they did not have enough knives. She decides she needs to order some more silverware, but wants to take advantage of any quantity discounts her vendor will offer.

>For a small order (2,000 pieces or less) her vendor quotes a price of $1.80/piece.

>If she orders 2,001 to 5,000 pieces, the price drops to $1.60/piece.

>5,001 to 10,000 pieces brings the price to $1.40/piece, and

>10,001 and above reduces the price to $1.25/piece.

Lisa's order costs of $205 per order, her annual holding costs are 5%, and the annual demand is 44,600 pieces. For the best option, (the best option is the price leve that results in an EOQ within the acceptable range).

A) What is the optimum ordering quantity?

B) What is the annual holding cost?

C) What is the annual ordering cost?

D) What are the annual cost of the silverware with an optimal order quantity?

E) What is the total annual cost, including ordering, holding, and purchasing the silverware?

West Texas Chemical Company manufactures a product called Kylon, which requires three raw materials. Production is in batches of 1,000 gallons of finished product. The firm uses standard costs as a control device. Its standard costs for materials for each batch of Kylon have been established as follows:

The output is packaged in 50-gallon drums. During the month of June 2019, 200 drums of Kylon were produced. There was no beginning or ending inventory of work in process. The materials actually used during June are listed below:

Compute the total variance between the actual cost of the materials used during June and the standard cost of the materials. Also compute the total variance for each type of material. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting Favorable, Unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Analyze the variances for each type of material for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting Favorable, Unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

n this unit, we explore the structured approach to modeling business processes. In this practical assignment, using the business process of a fictional package delivery service (a courier company) called On the Spot Courier Services, you will create data flow diagrams that demonstrate the business processes that would need to be supported by a new system.

Scenario:

When Bill got an order, at first, only on his phone, he recorded when he received the call and when the shipment would be ready for pickup. Sometimes, customers wanted immediate pickup; sometimes, they were calling to schedule a later time in the day for pickup.

Once he arrived at the pickup location, Bill collected the packages. It was not uncommon for the customer to have several packages for delivery. In addition to the name and address of the delivery location, he also recorded the time of pickup. He noted the desired delivery time, the location of the delivery, and the weight of the package to determine the courier cost. When he picked up the package, he printed out a label with his portable printer that he kept in the delivery van.

At first, Bill required customers to pay at the time of pickup, but he soon discovered that there were some regular customers who preferred to receive a monthly bill for all their shipments. He wanted to be able to accommodate those customers. Bills were due and payable upon receipt.

To help keep track of all the packages, Bill decided that he needed to scan each package as it was sorted in the warehouse. This would enable him to keep good control of his packages and avoid loss or delays.

The delivery of a package was fairly simple. Upon delivery, he would record information about when the delivery was made and who received it. Because some of the packages were valuable, it was necessary in those instances to have someone sign for the package.

On the Spot courier services grew and changed over the years. At first, Bill received requests for package pickups on his mobile phone, recorded that information in a log, and would then drive around to retrieve all the packages later in the day. However, he soon discovered that with another driver, it was difficult to coordinate pickups between the two of them from his van. It was not long before he reorganized his business and turned the warehouse employee into a driver. Then, he stayed in the warehouse himself, and his two employees made all the pickups and deliveries. This worked well because he could control and coordinate the pickups and deliveries better. It was also easier for him to receive pickup requests working at a desk rather than trying to do it while driving a delivery van.

As he thought about how his business was growing and the services he provided to his customers, Bill began to itemize the kinds of information he would need to maintain.

Of course, he needed to maintain information about his customers. Some of his customers were businesses; some were individuals. He needed to have basic address and contact information for every customer. Also, for his corporate customers, he needed to identify a primary contact person. It was mostly his corporate customers who wanted to receive monthly statements listing all their shipments during the month and the total cost. Bill needed to distinguish which customers paid cash and which wanted monthly statements. In fact, for those that paid monthly, he needed to keep a running account of such things as when they were last billed, when they paid, and any outstanding balances. Finally, when payments were received, either for individual shipments or from monthly invoices, he needed to record information about the payment: type of payment, date, and amount. Although this was not a sophisticated billing and payment system, Bill thought it would suffice for his needs.

Next, he started thinking about his packages and shipments. At the time that a request for a pickup came in, he needed to keep track of it as some type of delivery request or delivery order. At that point in time, Bill mostly needed to know who the customer was, where the pickup location was, and what date and time the package(s) would be ready for pickup. He also recorded the date and time that he received the order. A delivery order was considered “open” until the delivery van arrived at the pickup location and the packages were all retrieved. At that point, the delivery order was satisfied.

Once the packages were retrieved, each package needed to be uniquely identified. Bill needed to know when it was picked up and which delivery person picked it up. Other important information was the “deliver to” entity name and the address. He also needed to identify the type of delivery. Some packages were high priority, requiring same-day delivery. Others were overnight. Of course, the weight and cost were recorded so the customer could either pay or have it added to the monthly invoice.

In the courier and delivery business, one of the most important information requirements is the date and time stamp. For each package, it is important to know when it was picked up, when it arrived at the warehouse, when it went back out on the delivery run, and when it was delivered. When possible, it is also important to have names associated with each of these events.

First, start with a context level data flow diagram by brainstorming the sources/sinks (which are the people/systems that interact with this system). Next, you will list the tasks performed by these entities, and show them on the diagram.

Next, you will begin decomposing the system by showing its various processes (and labeling them x.x, ex: 1.0, 2.0, etc). Be sure to also include any datastores (any time data is stored/retrieved, a process must use a datastore). You should then be able to decompose these processes to an additional level, where each process will have a more granular identifier (ex: 1.1, then 1.1.1, etc). You should be able to develop a data flow diagram up to level 2, with no fewer than 6 data flow diagrams.

One path to understand the interplay between ingroup preference and status-based enculturation is to focus on the origins. How does their origins benefit us/others in today's society?
