Answer:

Market economy

Explanation:

There are three predominant economic system; <u>market economy, command economy and mixed economy. </u>

  1. In Market economy individuals and firms are free to make their own choices. There is no regulatory authority that is monitoring the system. Firms can produce whatever they want and sell it at whatever price they desire. This idea of free market was first suggested by economist Adam Smith. Firms will only manufacture goods that market demands, even if they are dangerous to the society e.g. cannabis and LSD. If the demand exists and firms can make profit, they will produce it regardless of its impact on the society.
  2. Command economy is heavily monitored by government. Government decide what to produce, how much to product and for whom to produce. The price is fix for every product. For example, if the price of cheese is set at $10 per pound, everyone will get it for $10. There is no concept of private ownership and everything is owned by the government.
  3. Mixed economy, also known as traditional economy is a combination of above two types. There is private as well as public ownership. Firms can produce goods, but they will follow laws and regulations (firms can't make and sell LSD to teenagers). The government provide healthcare, education and protect consumers from private institutions.  

The question deals with a situation where there is no government intervention. The firms are free to make their own production, distribution and pricing decisions. Hence, it’s a market economy.

The cost for a carton of milk is $3, and it is sold for $5. When the milk expires, it is thrown out. You also know that the mean
svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) $3

b) $2

c) 1449

Explanation:

Given:

The cost for a carton of milk = $3

Selling price for a carton of milk = $5

Salvage value = $0        [since When the milk expires, it is thrown out ]3

Mean of historical monthly demand = 1,500

Standard deviation = 200

Now,

a) cost of overstocking = Cost  for a carton of milk - Salvage value

= $3 - $0

= $3

cost of under-stocking = Selling price - cost for a carton of milk

= $5 - $3

= $2

b)  critical ratio = \frac{\textup{cost of under-stocking }}{\textup{cost of overstocking + cost of under-stocking }}

or

critical ratio = \frac{\textup{2}}{\textup{3 + 2}}

or

critical ratio = 0.4

c) optimal quantity of milk cartons = Mean + ( z × standard deviation )

here, z is the z-score for the critical ration of 0.4

we know

z-score(0.4) = -0.253

thus,

optimal quantity of milk cartons = 1,500 + ( -0.253 × 200 )

= 1500 - 50.6

= 1449.4 ≈ 1449 units
