Friedrich uses a lot of free- range eggs ("eggs") in his bakery and is trying to figure out what the most economic order quantity will be. Friedrich estimated that he will need on average 80 eggs per day for the 250 days that he intends to bake during the 2021 financial year. He also calculated that it costs him RO,05 per egg per annum to keep the eggs fresh and safely stored. Friedrich is requiring a return of 10% per annum on his investment in the business and purchases the eggs at R3,00 each. His friend, Tsakane, gives Friedrich a discounted rate of R50 ordering cost for each order that Friedrich places at Tsakane Farming. Friedrich buys all the required eggs exclusively from Tsakane Farming and incurs no internal ordering costs other than the discounted cost per order charged by Tsakane. Tsakane Farming uses custom-made packaging cartons that are not similar to the traditional half-a- dozen or full-dozen size egg cartons. As such, Tsakane's packaged eggs per order are therefore not necessarily divisible by six. QUESTION 11 The budgeted Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) for eggs is. (1) 6 325 (2) 11 547 (3) 1 690,31 (4) 2 391 QUESTION 12 Assuming eggs are ordered in arbitrary order sizes of 500 eggs per order, which one of the following statements is correct if all the other variables remain as given in the scenario?

During the 2020 financial year, 85 000 units of CH were produced and 82 000 sold, whereas 56 000 units of Visor were produced and 54 000 sold. The predetermined blanket overhead rate for the 2019 financial year was R9 per unit and increased to R10 per unit for the 2020 financial year.
