Answer:

B) greater than $30 but less than $40

the actual result is $39

Explanation:

the options are missing:

A) less than or equal to $30

B) greater than $30 but less than $40

C) greater than $40 but less than $50

D) greater than $50

we must first calculate safety stock = (Z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand) + (Z-score x standard deviation of lead time x average demand)

Z-score for 98% confidence level = 2.326
standard deviation of demand = 30
√lead time = √5 = 2.23607
we are not given any standard deviation of lead time, so we can assume that it is 0

safety stock = (2.326 x √2.23607 x 30) + (2.326 x 0 x 300) = 156.03 ≈ 156 units

the annual holding cost of 156 units = 156 x $0.25 = $39

Bob bought some land costing $16,390. today, that same land is valued at $46,817. How long has bob owned this land if the price

faltersainse [42]

Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Given that land was bought by Bob for $16390, the price is increasing at the rate of 6%, price of land today is $46817.

We are required to find the time for which Bob need to own the land so that the price of the land is $46817 today.

Compounding means calculating amount on the principal and the amount added interest.

Rate of increasing the price of land be 6%.

Price when Bob bought the land=$16390.

Price of land today=$46817.

It is like compounding of interest and the sum is calculated as under:

S=P* $(1+r)^{n}$

In the above equation P is theamount at beginning,r is rate of increasing and n is the number of years.

46817=16390 $(1+0.06)^{n}$

46817/16390= $(1.06)^{n}$

$(1.06)^{n}$ =2.8564

$(1.06)^{n}$ = $(1.06)^{18}$ (Approximately)

From both the sides we will get n=18.

Hence Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.
