Answer:

276 boxes

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost price of lettuce = $9

Selling price of lettuce = $17

Selling price of old lettuce (Salvage value) =$5

Mean demand (m) = 258

Standard deviation(σ) = 41

The marginal profit = selling price - cost price

Marginal profit = $(17 - 9) = $8

Marginal loss ; old lettuce : cost price - salvage value $(9 - 5) = $4

Probability (p) = marginal profit /(marginal profit + marginal loss)

P = 8 / (8 + 4) ; 8 / 12 = 0.667

Using the InvNorm function of the T84 calculator :

InvNorm(prob, mean, standard deviation)

InvNorm(0.667, 258, 41) = 275.697 = 276 boxes

Number of lettuce boxes supermarket should purchase tomorrow = 276 boxes

Option (b) is the best choice. The part of value creation that Bryan's business is focused on is value.

<h3>What exactly does value creation entail?</h3>

<h3>What is the secret of value creation?</h3>

Without a grasp of the potential consumer and their business, value creation is impossible. Before engaging in prolonged conversation with a lead, salespeople should spend a significant amount of time investigating the lead.

Suppose monetary neutrality holds and velocity is constant. A 5 percent increase in the money supply increases the price level b
Alex73 [517]

Answer:  Increases the price level by 5 percent

Explanation:

Monetary Neutrality is a theory in Economics that posits that when there is a change in money supply in an economy, the only variables affected are the nominal ones like price level and wages and Real variables like GDP and employment are not affected.

It holds that when there is an increase in money supply, there is an equivalent increase in Price level as well because the value of money has fallen by the rate of the monetary increase. The Price level rising at the same rate is to compensate.

A 5 percent increase in the money supply will therefore increase the price level by 5 percent.

Most people across the globe have similar access to technology information. Yes or no? Why?
Digiron [165]
False. A great example would be North Korea compared to the United States. In the United States we have the Freedom to Speech so we also have the the opportunity for news and social media where you can post pretty much anything. North Korea on the other hand lacks informing their own people and their own people lacks a stable and healthy government. We don’t know a lot about North Korea and they don’t know anything at all about us or the rest of the world.
