The cost for a carton of milk is $3, and it is sold for $5. When the milk expires, it is thrown out. You also know that the mean

svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) $3

b) $2

c) 1449

Explanation:

Given:

The cost for a carton of milk = $3

Selling price for a carton of milk = $5

Salvage value = $0 [since When the milk expires, it is thrown out ]3

Mean of historical monthly demand = 1,500

Standard deviation = 200

Now,

a) cost of overstocking = Cost for a carton of milk - Salvage value

= $3 - $0

= $3

cost of under-stocking = Selling price - cost for a carton of milk

= $5 - $3

= $2

b) critical ratio = $\frac{\textup{cost of under-stocking }}{\textup{cost of overstocking + cost of under-stocking }}$

or

critical ratio = $\frac{\textup{2}}{\textup{3 + 2}}$

or

critical ratio = 0.4

c) optimal quantity of milk cartons = Mean + ( z × standard deviation )

here, z is the z-score for the critical ration of 0.4

we know

z-score(0.4) = -0.253

thus,

optimal quantity of milk cartons = 1,500 + ( -0.253 × 200 )

= 1500 - 50.6

= 1449.4 ≈ 1449 units

In year 1, the Consumer Price Index was 120 and the average nominal income was $30,000. In year 2, the Consumer Price Index was

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage

Explanation:

The real income is determined by adjusting the nominal income for inflation. The consumer price index (CPI) is used to measure the rate of inflation.

Real income = Nominal income × CPI Base year/ CPI in current year

Real Income = 32000 × 120/125

=$30,720

Change Real income

Change in real income ($) = 30,720 - 30,000

= $ 720

Change in real income (%) = (720/30,000) × 100

= 2%

Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage

1-a. The total time available on the plastic injection molding machine is the constraint in the production process. What is the contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

Answer:

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

$Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit$

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

$Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}$

Constraint: Time available on plastic injection moulding machine

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Processing time per unit (minutes) 2 5 4

Contribution Margin unit of constraint 70 (140/2) 32 (160/5) 50

1-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

Manufacturing the Ski Guard would be the most profitable use of this constraint since it has the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($70 per unit).

1-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The Golf Guard would be the least profitable use of this constraint since it has the least contribution margin per unit of constraint, at $32 per unit.

2a. A severe shortage of plastic pellets has required the company to cut back its production so much that the plastic injection molding machine is no longer the bottleneck. Instead, the constraint is the total available pounds of plastic pellets. What is contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

$Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit$

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

$Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}$

Constraint: Pounds of plastic pellets

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Plastic pellets per unit (pounds) 7 4 8

Contribution Margin per pound 20 (140/7) 40 (160/4) 25 (200/8)

2-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

The Golf Guard would be the most profitable use of this constraint since it has the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($40 per unit).

2-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The SkiGuard, with a contribution margin of $20 per pound of plastic would be the least profitable use of this constraint.

3. Which product has the largest unit contribution margin?

Answer : The fishing guard has the largest per unit contribution margin at $200.

f interest rate parity (IRP) exists, then triangular arbitrage will not be possible. A. true. B. false.

Levart [38]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Arbitrage refers to a situation wherein a gain is made owing to price discrepancy or unevenness in two markets. The rule for arbitrage is to buy from the markets where price is less and sell in the markets where price is higher.

Triangular arbitrage occurs wherein 3 different currencies are involved and the exchange rates are not uniform i.e a discrepancy exists and interest rate parity does not hold true.

Interest rate parity refers to the concept wherein the disparity between two currency exchange rates is adjusted by the respective interest rates of the two countries. When interest rate parity exists, no arbitrage is possible as markets are fairly priced.
