Accounting
40. In the past, Taylor Industries has used a fixed–time period inventory system that involved
taking a complete inventory count of all items each month. However, increasing labor
costs are forcing Taylor Industries to examine alternative ways to reduce the amount of
labor involved in inventory stockrooms, yet without increasing other costs, such as shortage
costs. Here is a random sample of 20 of Taylor’s items.
Item # Annual Us. Item # Annual Us.
1 | $1,500 | 11 | $13,000 |
2 | 12,000 | 12 | 600 |
3 | 2,200 | 13 | 42,000 |
4 | 50,000 | 14 | 9,900 |
5 | 9,600 | 15 | 1,200 |
6 | 750 | 16 | 10,200 |
7 | 2,000 | 17 | 4,000 |
8 | 11,000 | 18 | 61,000 |
9 | 800 | 19 | 3,500 |
10 | 15,000 | 20 | 2,900 |
