Answer:
Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units
Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units
new safety stock = 331
331 = Z * 90 * √10
Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163
Using Normal distribution function, the new confidence interval is 87.76%

Explanation:
Step 1 :
It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.
Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.
Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700
Step 2 :
It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.
Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40
Step 3 :
It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit
Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15
Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55
Answer:
He has lost the previous files as he has been replacing them.
Explanation:
When you save a file in your computer, you need to save it with a name that is different from the names of the other files you have in the computer. If you save file with the same name of another file, you will replace that file and will lose the information you had. So according to this, as Jack is saving all his work for the class with the name of the course, it means that he has saved everything with the same name and he has lost the previous files because everytime he saves a new file he replaces the previous one.
Answer:
$559,020
Explanation:
The computation of net sales is shown below:-
Total sales = $640,000
Sales discount = $14,500 + $1,450
= $15,950
Sales return = $39,000 + $4,680
= $43,680
Sales allowance = $19,000 + $2,530
= $21,350
So,
Net sales = Total sales - Sales discount - Sales return - Sales allowance
= $640,000 - $15,950 - $43,680 - $21,350
= $559,020
Therefore for computing the net sales we simply applied the above formula.
Answer:
3.45%
Explanation:
the real wage at the beginning of the recession (12/07) = nominal wage / price index Dec. 2007 = $17.70 / 2.1141 = $8.3721
the real wage at the end of the recession (6/09) = nominal wage / price index June 2009 = $18.53 / 2.14527= $8.6609
% change in real wage = [($8.6609 - $8.3721) / $8.3721] x 100 = 3.44955% = 3.45%
Due to the recession, the price index changed less than the nominal wages since the inflation rate was very low. It is normal that during recessions, specially severe ones, the inflation rate decreases or even turns negative (what happened in Europe in those years).
