Answer: 25,200 pounds
Explanation:
Your question is incomplete as it lacked the first part. I attached a completion that I found.
The company has a policy that the ending inventory of foam each month must be equal to 30% of the following month's expected production needs.
This means that in August, the Opening inventory will be 30% of what was is needed in August and the Closing Inventory will be 30% of what is needed in September.
Remember that each cushion requires 2 pounds of foam as stuffing.
Pounds required in August
= 12,000 cushions * 2
= 24,000 pounds
Opening Stock
= 30% * (12,000 * 2)
= 7,200 pounds
Closing stock
= 30% * ( 14,000 * 2)
= 8,400 pounds.
Foam needed to be purchased in August = Pounds required tonbe produced + Closing Stock - Opening Stock
= 24,000 + 8,400 - 7,200
= 25,200
25,200 pounds of foam are what The Porch Cushion Company needs to purchase in August.
The future amount of an investment with compound interest can be calculated through the equation,
F = P x (1 + ieff)^n
where F is the future amount, P is the current value of the money, ieff is the effective interest (rate per year), and n is the number of years.
From the equation, all are given except for the effective interest, i. Now, substituting the known values,
14,398.87 = (7,775) x (1 + ieff)^14
The value of ieff from the equation is 0.044999.
Since the value of the ieff when translated to percentage is equal to 4.5% as well, the interest rate is compounded yearly.

Answer:
335.43 million gallons
Explanation:
price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price
PED = -1.9% / 10% = -0.19, very inelastic
expected price increase $0.40
% change in price = ($3.45 - $3.05) / $3.05 = 13.11%
% change in quantity demanded:
-0.19 = D / 13.11%
D = 2.49%
quantity demanded will decrease by 2.49%, from 344 million gallons to 335.43 million gallons
