One reason that the quantity demanded of a good increases when its price falls is that the:

Each week ab album sells 4% fewer copies than it did the previous week. this week it sold 12400 copies. at this rate in how many

mojhsa [17]

It will be 45 weeks until the album sells fewer than 2000 copies. We can look at the equation (0.96)^x = 2000/12400 to find the number of weeks, x, that the 4 percent reduction will yield the ratio of sales endpoint to sales now. We can solve the equation by taking a log of both sides in order to isolate the x variable. Using the natural log, we'd have x*ln(0.96) = ln(2000/12400). Solving this shows x to be ~=44.69525, so we round up to 45 weeks. We can confirm our solution by verifying that 0.96^45 is indeed less than 2000/12400. (0.159.. < 0.161...)

A small grocery store sells fresh produce, which it obtains from a local farmer. During the strawberry season, demand for fresh

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

(a)The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) This could be viewed as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Mean =μ = 40

Standard deviation =σ = 6

Excess cost= Ce =$0.35

The amount ordered =S₀= 49

Thus

Z =(49 -40)/6

=1.5

Now

From the Table Z, we have the service level which is,

P(X <49 ) = P(Z < 1.5)

= 0.9332

Since we know that,

Service level (SL) =Cs/Cs+Ce

So,

0,9332 =Cs/Cs+0.35

Thus

0.9332Cs + 0.35* 0.9332 =Cs

0.0668Cs =0.32662

Hence

Cs = $4.75

(a) The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) Therefore,this could be regarded as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

The following information is from ABC Company's general ledger: Beginning and ending inventories, respectively, for raw material

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

cost of goods manufactured= $176,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials:

Beginning inventory= $16,000

Ending inventory= $20,000

Purchase= $72,000

WIP:

Beginning inventory= $40,000

Ending inventory= $44,000

Direct labor= $72,000

Manufacturing overhead applied= $40,000

T<u>o calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:</u>

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 16,000 + 72,000 - 20,000= 68,000

cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 68,000 + 72,000 + 40,000 - 44,000

cost of goods manufactured= $176,000

andreyandreev [35.5K]

<em>CORRECT</em>

as at least is recive 7% of the investment. If payment are made in shorter period (semiannually, quarterly, etc)

Then the effective rate will be higher, not lower.

Explanation:

a. An investment that has a nominal rate of 6% with semiannual payments will have an effective rate that is smaller than 6%

FALSE the effective rate will be higher as there is compounding effect.

b. The present value of a 3-year, $150 ordinary annuity will exceed the present value of a 3-year, $150 annuity due

FALSE the annuity-due is discounted for one period less, as the payment are made at the beginning of the period therefore; his V is greater.

d. If a loan or investment has annual payments, then the effective, periodic, and nominal rates of interest will all be different

FALSE if it mades annual payments they will be equal

e. The proportion of the payment that goes toward interest on a fully amortized loan increases over time.
