Explanation and answer:
If if the possible outcomes are xi, and the corresponding probability is pi, where i is one of the N events, then the expectation [E] is given by
[E] = sum (xi*pi)
In the given case, n= frequency of the event, N=50=total number of events
i n xi pi n*xi*pi
1 40 0 40/50 40*0*40/50 = 0
2 8 20 8/50 8*20/50 = 3.20
3 1 100 1/50 1*100/50 = 2.00
4 1 500 1/50 1*500/40= 10.00
Total (expected gross winning) = 15.20
Person has already paid $10,
so the expected net winning = 15.20 - 10 = 5.20
Answer:
957 pounds of pepperoni
Explanation:
In this problem, orders (T) are being taken every 5 weeks while the delivery (L) is approximately 4 weeks. Given a probability of 98 %, we can estimate that the area [F(z)] under the ' z' left side of the normal distribution curve is 0.98. Therefore,
0.98 - 0.50 = 0.48, using the standard normal table, for an area of 0.48, the value is 2.055. Thus, the pounds pepperoni (Q) that will be ordered:
Q = 130(5+4) + 2.055(120) - 460 = 1170 + 246.6 - 460 = 956.6
Approximately 957 pounds of pepperoni.
Answer:
A, B , and E
Explanation:
<u>A. Budgeted purchase prices were set without careful analysis of the market</u>
Budgets are prepared using estimated prices. As much as possible, the budget prices should be the same as market prices. It may happen that during price estimation, some aspects could have been ignored, leading to incorrect purchase prices. It could be possible that the budget prices are overstated. In such a scenario, there would be a favorable price variance to the business.
<u />
<u>B. Materials prices decreased unexpectedly due to industry oversupply</u>
The supply and demand forces determine the prices of raw materials. Low supply will lead to an increase in price as many buyers chase few goods. Constant demand and supply create stable prices. A sudden increase in supply will lead to reduced prices, which will cause favorable variances to the business.
<u>E. The materials purchasing officer negotiated more skillfully than was planned in the budget.</u>
The purchasing manager does the actual buying in any organization. Should the manager be a skilled negotiator, the business stands a better chance of buying goods at low prices. In this case, the purchasing manager negotiated for better prices. The results will be a positive price variance for the company.
Answer:
1000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 9375
Holding cost, H = 0.75
Cost per order, S = 40
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]
EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]
EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]
EOQ = √1000000
EOQ = 1000
Answer:
2.25 times
Explanation:
The computation of the market-to-book ratio is shown below:
Market to book ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (book value per share)
where,
Market price per share = $38 per share
And, the book value per share
= Total equity ÷ outstanding shares
= $25,380 ÷ 1,500 shares
= $16.92
So, the market to book ratio would be
= $38÷ $16.92
= 2.25 times
