Answer:
The Answer is B. Quantitative data
Explanation:
The testing on the golf club, determined a improvement in the driving distance and this was measured numerically and showed in form of a percentage in comparison with average measurements.
When the information is presented with numerical data support, we can say its a quantitative data, because it tells us "how much?".
When the information is presented just with adjetives, telling us about the performance its a qualitative data, because it tell us "how things happened?"
A control variable is the data that is going to modified in order to see changes is the independent variable. In this case, the control variable could be the weight of the club (assumption), and the independent variable the driving distance data(not percentage).

<h3>Hello there!</h3>
Your question asks what the purpose of a safety stock is.
<h3>Answer: B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand and/or lead time.</h3>
The reason why answer choice "B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand and/or lead time" is the correct answer because companies have safety stocks to control the chances of having a stock out.
Safety stocks are also known as a "reserve" for a company, in other words, stocks that a company doesn't touch. It's to ensure that companies don't go through a time where there's an increase in demand while there is a "delay" in production.
If a companies stock demand goes up, but then they can't "produce" the amount that is needed to meet the demand, then they will go through "stock out" and have to go through what is called "stock out costs."
Safety stocks are also known as a "rainy-day" stock, due to the fact that safety stocks are used when a company are not having a great day with the "demand" / "value" of their stocks. It's just to "ensure" / "keep the company safe" from a huge stock out.

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.
Allowance for uncollectible accounts at 5%
= 5% * $302,000
= $1,510
Since the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts was $640 (credit) before any adjustments, the bad debt expense for the year
= $1,510 - $640
= $870
