Answer:

c. risk reverse

Explanation:

In this case, the person willing to take insurance is ready to pay an extra $100 ($600 instead of $500) in order to ensure what he will lose. This is done to discard all uncertainty involved to get full coverage. This means the person buying insurance, as per the economists, would go for what is called risk averse. The person going in for risk averse means he is reluctant to take risk. In this case, the buyer pays extra $100 for this purpose.

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
