AICPA Exam CPA-Business Topic 2 Question 98 Discussion

Actual exam question for AICPA's CPA-Business exam

Question #: 98
Topic #: 2

The following information regarding inventory policy was assembled by the JRJ Corporation. The company uses a 50-week year in all calculations.

The reorder point is:

A3,300 units.

B2,100 units.

C1,300 units.

D5,200 units.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Choice 'b' is correct. A 50-week year would mean that 200 units are sold per week (10,000 units per year over 50 weeks). Therefore, 800 units are sold during the lead-time (4 weeks 200 units per week). Required safety stock is 1,300 units, which means that no less than 1,300 units must be on hand at any time. The reorder point is then 2,100 units (1,300 safety stock plus the 800 units used during lead time).

Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are incorrect, per the above Explanation:.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be C) 1,300 units because of the company's 50-week year calculation.

Hmm, let me see. 50-week year, 10-week lead time, 210 units per week. Yep, 2,100 units is the right answer. I wonder if the exam writer is trying to trick us with those other options. Better double-check my work just in case!

The reorder point is clearly 2,100 units. The lead time is 10 weeks, and the average weekly usage is 210 units. So, the reorder point is the lead time multiplied by the average weekly usage, which is 10 * 210 = 2,100 units.
