Answer: SEE EXPLANATION

A. 198.27 UNITS

B. 99.14 UNITS

C. 30.76 ORDERS

D. 8.12 DAYS

E. $1,784.43

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Annual order = 6,100

Carrying cost = $9 per unit per year

Ordering cost = $29

A) EOQ =sqrt[( 2 × Annual order × (ordering cost ÷ carrying cost)]

EOQ = sqrt[2 ×6100 × (29÷9)]

EOQ = sqrt(12200 × 3.22222222)

EOQ = 198.27 units

B.) AVERAGE INVENTORY :

EOQ ÷ 2

198.27 ÷ 2 = 99.14 UNITS

C.) Optimal number of orders per year:

Demand / order per year

6,100 ÷ 198.27 = 30.76 orders

D.) Optimal number of days between two orders:

Number of working days ÷ optimal number of orders

250 ÷ 30.76 = 8.12 days.

E.) Annual cost of ordering and holding inventory:

$198.27 × $9 = $1,784.43

Five hundred units of good x are currently bought and sold. The marginal buyer is willing to pay $40 for the 500th unit, and the
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

D : All options are correct

Explanation:

- The marginal buyer is the essence of demand curve while marginal seller is essence of supply curve.

- @ Q = 500 units,    Selling Price is set at SP = $35

- @ Q = 500 units,    Buying Price is set at BP = $40

- Since, SP ≠ BP our equilibrium price would be $ 37.5 assuming the price elasticity of demand and supply are equal. In any case the equilibrium price would lie in between [ 35 , 40 ] such that to prevent a shortage of units in near future.

- Moreover, if the seller decides to sell at price $35 then he must sell goods greater than 500 units to reach the equilibrium profits. However, it could also lead to excess of units or surplus.

- We see that from selling the goods at SP = $35 while the buyer is willing to pay BP = $40 for 500 goods, the seller would be under-profiting and would be earning $5*500 = $2,500 less than he would at equilibrium price of $40 and selling units greater than 500. Hence, 500 goods is not an efficient quantity of goods.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Trade credit

Explanation:

Trade credit occurs between traders where a trader allows another to purchase goods without paying for them immediately.

It is the cheapest form of short term financing.

This is a form of business to business agreement where payment is set at a later date of 30 days, 90 days or 60 days.

The transaction is recorded by using invoice.

Usually it is a zero percent short term finance. The amount of the good at time of purchase is what is paid at the sure date.

There is no extra payment made by the buyer as interest on the amount agreed.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The z core is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\where\ \mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation, x = raw score

Given that mean (μ) = 15 minutes per car, standard deviation (σ) = 2.4 minutes.

1) For x > 18:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{18-15}{2.4} =1.25

From normal distribution table, P(x > 18) = P(z > 1.25) = 1 - P(z < 1.25) = 1 - 0.8944 = 0.1056

2) For x < 10:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{10-15}{2.4} =-2.08

From normal distribution table, P(x < 10) = P(z < -2.08) = 0.0188

3) For x > 12:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{12-15}{2.4} =-1.25

For x < 16:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{16-15}{2.4} =0.42

From normal distribution table, P(12 < x < 16) = P(z < 0.42) - P(z < -1.25) = 0.6628 - 0.1056 = 0.5572
