Answer:

$830,000

Explanation:

For the month of January, Ultra Co.'s inventory details are:

Date               Units   Unit total      Cost per unit     Total cost   

January 1             20,000           $260,000       $13        

January 20          30,000           $710,000         $15        

January 23          40,000           $1,390,000       $17      

January 31          (50,000)         ($16.60)    ($830,000)

Ending inventory                     40,000                     $560,000

Applying the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, COGS equals (40,000 units x $17) + (10,000 units x $15) = $680,000 + $150,000 = $830,000.

Information Provided:

Yearly Demand (D) = 200,000 × 12 = 2,400,000 units

Ordering Cost (S) = $500 each order

Carrying Cost (H) = 20% of the Unit Price = $10 × 20% = $2

Cost per Unit = $10

Calculations:

1) Optimal Order Quantity =

Optimal Order Quantity =

2)

Annual Holding Expense = (34,641 / 2) × 2

Annual Holding Expense = $34,641

3) Orders Each Year = Yearly Demand / Optimal Order Quantity

Orders Each Year = 2,400,000 / 34,641

Orders Each Year = 69.2820646

Orders Each Year = 69 (Approximately)

4) Yearly Transportation Variable Cost = Cost per Unit × Yearly Demand

Yearly Transportation Variable Cost = $0.10 × 2,400,000

Yearly Transportation Variable Cost = $240,000

5) Yearly Clerical Expense = Orders Each Year × Cost Each Order

Yearly Clerical Expense = 69.282 × $500

Yearly Clerical Expense = $34,641
