As regard to customer data as well as data from transactions, the Amazon Go model is premised on hundreds of pictures being taken of every person entering and exiting the store. Amazon then stores these pictures for long enough to identify the products being purchased, before the images are deleted. Credit card information is captured at the point of registration for the app that is required to use the Amazon Go stores, and then credit and debit card information is captured when purchases are made. Further receipts are issued after purchases are made, and the system also records how long an individual has been shopping for (this is printed on the receipt). With a need to capture and store such large volumes of information that is both sensitive and personal to people, it is not surprising that many are concerned for the security of the information and the potential for the information to fall into the wrong hands.
Amazon Go stores are in their infancy, and have not had to deal with any…
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 15,604 units of component JY21 per year.
Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a
lead time of 7 days. The unit purchase cost is $25.6 per unit. The cost to place and process an order
from the supplier is $121 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 10.5 percent of the
unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If
the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 2,640 units per order, what is the annual holding
cost?

- Spotlight Video is a premier video rental company in Denver, Colorado, offering the latest selections on DVD, game, and VHS releases. After DVDs and VHS tapes have been viewed a certain number of times, their quality deteriorates to the point that Spotlight Video considers them to be defective. Furthermore, some customers own DVD and VHS players that are defective and can ruin Spotlight Video’s merchandise. Spotlight Video wants to maintain an inventory of DVDs and VHS tapes that are at least 85 percent acceptable, although 95 percent is preferable. However, since it can’t keep customers’ machines from damaging the rentals, Spotlight Video has had to relax its criterion a little. You have been hired to create a spreadsheet that will evaluate each DVD and VHS based on the following criteria: ■ A number of times each title has been rented. ■ A number of defects have been reported. ■ The percent acceptable must be above 85 percent based on usage.

- A restaurant uses 100 per week or 5,000 quart bottles of ketchup each year. The ketchup costs $3.00 per bottle and is served only in whole bottles because its taste quickly deteriorates. The restaurant figures that it costs $10.00 each time an order is placed, and holding costs are 20 percent of the purchase price. It takes 3 weeks for an order to arrive. The restaurant operates 50 weeks per year. The restaurant would like to use an inventory system that minimizes inventory cost.

One individual in the organization wants to design a control that requires a review of all purchase requisitions by a supervisor in the user department prior to submitting them to the purchasing department. Another individual wants to institute a policy requiring agreement of the receiving report and packing slip before storage of new inventory receipts. Which of these controls is (are) relevant in achieving the stated goal? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA company is planning to purchase 10,000 units of a particular item in the year ahead. The item is purchased in boxes each containing 10 units of the item, at a price of €400 per box. The cost of holding an item in inventory for a year (including insurance, interest and space costs) is 10% of the purchase price. The cost of placing and receiving orders is to be estimated from cost data collected relating to similar orders, where costs of €7,000 were incurred on 25 orders. It should be assumed that ordering costs change in proportion to the number of orders placed. 5% should be added to the above ordering costs to allow for inflation. Assume that usage of the item will be even over the year. Required: (a) Calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ) in boxes which minimises total costs (b) Outline when and why it is appropriate to use economic batch quantity (EBQ)arrow_forward
