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

Answer:

C. Cost-volume-profit analysis

Explanation:

Cost-volume-profit analysis (CVP analysis) plays a crucial role in cost management, focusing on the relationship between an organization's financial performance, production volume, and sales of products or services. This analytical approach is also applicable for setting prices.

The assumptions underlying CVP analysis include:

1) Production levels match sales levels, being the sole factor influencing cost and revenue changes for the business. Inventory levels of finished goods remain unchanged.

2) Other factors (like product selling prices, prices of materials and services utilized in production, variable costs per output unit, and labor efficiency) are constant within an acceptable production volume range.

3) The focus of the analysis is limited to a single product or a stable range of products. The sales mix in a multi-product company is steady.

4) Both total costs and revenue exhibit linear characteristics relative to production levels.

The analysis is performed within a reasonable production volume range.

5) All expenses are categorized as either fixed or variable costs.

6) The evaluation is intended for the short term.

7) Fixed costs remain unchanged as production volume varies within an acceptable range, with no structural adjustments occurring.

In summary, we can highlight that this method is the Cost Volume Profit analysis, which evaluates how changes in volume impact profits by examining the varying degrees of costs.
