The inventory policy of a retail company is to hold only the highest sales volume items in its distribution center and to ship t

he remaining lower sales volume items direct from the respective manufacturers to its stores. This policy is intended to reduce transportation costs. Total annual sales of the company are $1 billion. It is known that half of this amount is accounted for by only 15% of the items. In addition, it is assumed that equation (8.1) in the text can be used to model the Pareto cumulative distribution. (a) If the company wants to stock the top selling 35% of the items in the distribution center, what is the expected value of these items in terms of annual sales? (b) On the other hand, if the company wants to stock only those items accounting for the top 75% of annual sales, what proportion of the items corresponds to this sales volume?

Answer:

a. <u>75.3% is the expected percentage and this value corresponds to 753 million dollars</u>

<u>b. 34.62% of items corresponds to 75% of this sales volume</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A =x(1-y)/(y-x)

X = 0.15, y = 0.50

A = 0.15(1-0.50)/(0.50-0.15)

= 0.15(0.5)/0.35

A = 0.2143

we have

x = 0.35

y = 0.35(1+0.2143)/(0.2143+0.35)

y = 0.425005/0.5643

y = 0.7531

y = 75.3%

75.3% is the expected percentage and this value corresponds to 753 million dollars

b. y = 0.75

find x

y = x(1+A)/(A+x)

x = yA/(1+A-y)

x = 0.75(0.2143)/1+0.2143-0.75)

x = 0.160725/0.4643

x = 0.3462

34.62% of items corresponds to 75% of this sales volume

COS Find the quotient when the polynomial expression is divided by a binomial Find the quotient ANSWER SOLUTION CHOICES X2+11x+
ryzh [129]

Answer:

x=−1 or x=−9

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+11x+10=x+1

Step 1: Subtract x+1 from both sides.

x2+11x+10−(x+1)=x+1−(x+1)

x2+10x+9=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(x+1)(x+9)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

x+1=0 or x+9=0

x=−1 or x=−9

Pls help it'd be appreciated​
SashulF [63]

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

∠WPS +∠OPW  = 180   {straight line}

∠WPS +110 = 180

∠WPS = 180 - 110

∠WPS = 70°

∠RWQ + ∠QWT +∠TWU = 180   {straight line}

∠RWQ + 60 + 50 = 180

∠RWQ + 110 = 180

∠RWQ = 180 - 110

∠RWQ= 70°

∠PWU +  ∠USP + ∠ WPS = 180  {angle sum property of triangle}

∠PWU + 40 + 70 = 180

∠PWU + 110 = 180

∠PWU = 180 - 110  

∠PWU = 70°

A box with a rectangular base and open top must have a volume of 128 f t 3 . The length of the base is twice the width of base.
noname [10]

Answer:

Width = 4ft

Height = 4ft

Length = 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume = 128ft^3

L = 2W

Base\ Cost = \$9/ft^2

Sides\ Cost = \$6/ft^2

Required

The dimension that minimizes the cost

The volume is:

Volume = LWH

This gives:

128 = LWH

Substitute L = 2W

128 = 2W * WH

128 = 2W^2H

Make H the subject

H = \frac{128}{2W^2}

H = \frac{64}{W^2}

The surface area is:

Area = Area of Bottom + Area of Sides

So, we have:

A = LW + 2(WH + LH)

The cost is:

Cost = 9 * LW + 6 * 2(WH + LH)

Cost = 9 * LW + 12(WH + LH)

Cost = 9 * LW + 12H(W + L)

Substitute: H = \frac{64}{W^2} and L = 2W

Cost =9*2W*W + 12 * \frac{64}{W^2}(W + 2W)

Cost =18W^2 +  \frac{768}{W^2}*3W

Cost =18W^2 +  \frac{2304}{W}

To minimize the cost, we differentiate

C' =2*18W +  -1 * 2304W^{-2}

Then set to 0

2*18W +  -1 * 2304W^{-2} =0

36W - 2304W^{-2} =0

Rewrite as:

36W = 2304W^{-2}

Divide both sides by W

36 = 2304W^{-3}

Rewrite as:

36 = \frac{2304}{W^3}

Solve for W^3

W^3 = \frac{2304}{36}

W^3 = 64

Take cube roots

W = 4

Recall that:

L = 2W

L = 2 * 4

L = 8

H = \frac{64}{W^2}

H = \frac{64}{4^2}

H = \frac{64}{16}

H = 4

Hence, the dimension that minimizes the cost is:

Width = 4ft

Height = 4ft

Length = 8ft
