It takes six weeks for a tire order to be delivered to the Auto & Tire Center in the Walmart Supercenter in Wisconsin. Tires are ordered every five weeks. Currently, there are 90 tires on hand and another 340 on order. Sales are expected to use 120 tires per week and the department maintains a reserve of 40 tires. It's time to reorder tires.
How many tires is the department open to receive?
If the tires that are ordered cost the company $43 per tire, and the retail price of the tires is determined by marking up the cost by 57%, what is the total retail value of the tires being ordered?

Respuesta :

The department should be open to receive 760 tires with a total retail value of $51,307.60.

Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory = 90

New order of tires = 340

Total units available = 430 (90 + 340)

Sales of tires per week = 120

Expected ending inventory = 40

Therefore, the number of tires the department should be open to receive is 760 (40 + (120 x 6).

Cost per tire = $43

Markup = 57%

Retail price per tire = $67.51 ($43 x 1.57)

Thus, the total retail value of the 760 tires being ordered is $51,307.60.
