A grocery chain is interested in exploring the impact effective supply chain management would have. Suppose that for every $1 of

sales, 4% is profit, 50% is spent in the supply chain, and the remaining 46% is evenly divided between fixed and production costs. If the chain can save $1 in the supply chain, it would take how many dollars of increased sales to have the same increase in profit? Assume that fixed costs are fixed so that the portion of increased sales allocated to fixed costs is instead profit (27% profit margin combined now).

Answer:

$3.70

Explanation:

In this question we have to assume the items values

Let say

Sales = $100

So supply chain it spends 50% i.e $50

Profit is 4% i.e $4

Since the 46% is dividend among fixed and production costs

So the fixed cost is $23 and variable cost is $23

Now if the sales increase by $X, the revenue will increase by X.

So it would also increased the cost by X × (0.5+0.23)

And in overall, the profit is also increased

Plus it is given that there is  27% profit margin

So, the equation is

0.27X = 1

Therefore X = $3.70 with additional profit of $1

(1 pt) The manager of a large apartment complex knows from experience that 90 units will be occupied if the rent is 420 dollars
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Monthly rent of $345 would maximize revenue

Explanation:

Revenue = Price * Quantity

Quantity depends on price. We need to work out the relationship between price and quantity (that is, the demand function)

When the rent is $420, quantity demanded is 90 units:

When P = 420 we have Q = 90

Let x be the change in price. For every 3 dollar increase (decrease) in price demanded quantity will decrease (increase) 1 unit:

P = 420 + x (a) we have Q = 90 - x/3 (b)

To find the relationship between P and Q we seek to eliminate x.

Multiply both sides of (b) with 3 we have: 3Q = 270 - x (b')

From (a) and (b') we have: P + 3Q = 420 + x + 270 - x

=> P = 690 - 3Q

Revenue R = P * Q = (690 - 3Q) * Q = 690Q - 3Q^2

To find maximum set derivative of R to 0:

dR = 690 - 6Q = 0

=> Q = 690/6 = 115

To lease 115 the price should be P = 690 - 3Q = 690 - 3*115 = 345
