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

Use the table below to fill in missing values.
aliina [53]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can observe from the table that the value of independent variable and then the values of function on that variable are given.

So,

<u>f(5) = 6</u>

As the value of function at x=5 is 6

<u>If f(x) = 4 then x = 7</u>

The value of function is 4 only on x=7 so the answer is x = 7

When the inverse is taken, the inputs become output and the outputs become inputs

f^{-1}(6) = 5

The value of inverse will be 5 because in original function 5 is input and 6 is output when this will be reversed for inverse, the output will be 5 for 6

Now,

Lastly

if\ f^{-1}(x) = 7,\ then \x = 4

The reverse rule of input and output will be used. The reverse function will generate 7 at input 4.
