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 = 
or
critical ratio = 
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
Answer:
C. An auction market
Explanation:
Option A is wrong because merchant wholesalers purchase any products directly from the manufacturers and sell those to the retailers, or consumers. In that case, buyers and sellers do not need to come together to complete a transaction.
Option B is incorrect as the warehouse club is recognized as a retail store where customers can purchase bulk products to reduce the expenses. In that case, only sell is the motive.
Option D is wrong because drop shippers cannot hold the inventory to their stocks. Therefore, customers and manufacturers will not come together.
<u><em>Option C</em></u> is correct because, in an auction market, the buyer and the seller have to come at the same time to complete a transaction. In that market, the buyer will directly negotiate with the seller to purchase a product or something else.
Answer: $40,000
Explanation:
As this is a manufacturing company, they are exempt of Accumulated earnings tax of the amount of $250,000. Anything above that will be subject to an Accumulated Earnings tax rate of 20%.
Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * (450,000 - 250,000)
Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * 200,000
Accumulated Earnings tax = $40,000
