Answer:

The answer is 150 gallons

Explanation:

First we will write out the relevant information in the question that will help us with our calculation:

Safety stock = 50 gallons

50 gallons = 9% stockout risk

??? gallons = 3% stockout risk

Next, you have to understand that the relationship between the safety stock and stockout risk is an inverse proportion. This means that the bigger the safetystock amount, the smaller the stockout risk, and vice versa. Therefore, there will be a lesser risk of running out of stock, as the safety stock amount increases.

Let g be the safety stock

Let r be the stockout risk

This relationship is represented as:

g = \frac{k}{r}

where k = a constant relating the safety stock and stockout risk.

Therefore :

g*r=k

g_1r_1=g_2r_2

where:

g₁ = 50 gallons

r₁ = 9%

r₂ = 3%

g₂ = ????

Therefore, making g₂ the subject of the formula:

g_2=\frac{g_1*r_1}{r_2}

g_2 = \frac{50*9}{3} = \frac{450}{3} = 150

Therefore, the saftey stock that would provide a stockout risk of 3% = 150 gallons.

maw [93]

Answer:

Supply curve shifts to the left.

Explanation:

It is know that Florida is the biggest orange producer in America, when a hurricane rips through Florida, there is no change in demand, so the demand curve remains unaltered. As  for the supply curve, the hurricane is likely to destroy orange crops causing a shortage in supply which corresponds to a shift to the left by the supply curve.

The answer is: supply curve shifts to the left.

A company reports the amounts below in its financial statements. Net cash flow from operating activities $37,570 Total net cash
balandron [24]

Answer:

Ratio will be 0.92

So option (A) will be the correct option

Explanation:

We have given net cash flow from operating activities = $37570

So net operating cash flow = $37570

Current liabilities at the bugging of the year = $38400

Current liabilities at the end of the year = $43200

So average current liabilities =\frac{38400+43200}{2}=$40800

We have to find the ratio of operating cash flow to current liabilities

So ratio will be =\frac{37570}{40800}=0.92

So option (A) will be the correct option
