Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the demand for the magazine, the pmf for X is given by:

X       1            2           3          4        5        6      

P(X)  1/15      2/15       3/15     4/15   3/15     2/15

3 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*3 = $ 6

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$6 = -$2 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$6 = $2 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$6 = $6 , X=3 (demand 3)

For the values of X=4,5,6 the net revenue will be $6 since the number of magazines is 3

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-2) +\frac{2}{15} *(2) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) + \frac{4}{15}*(6) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) +\frac{2}{15}*(6) = \frac{74}{15}=4.93

4 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*4 = $ 8

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$8 = -$4 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$8 = $0 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$8 = $4 , X=3 (demand 3)

$4*4-$8 = $8 , X=4 (demand 4)

For the values of X=5,6 the net revenue will be $8 since the number of magazines is 4

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-4) +\frac{2}{15} *(0) +\frac{3}{15}*(4) + \frac{4}{15}*(8) +\frac{3}{15}*(8) +\frac{2}{15}*(8) = \frac{80}{15}=5.33

As as we can see we have a higher expected value for the case with 4 magazines.

If a company must expand capacity to accept a special order, it is likely that there will be an increase in unit variable costs.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

If a company must expand capacity to accept a special order, it is likely that there will be an increase in fixed costs.

Explanation:

The fixed costs are the part of the total costs of production that remain constant during a given reference quantity in a certain period. These include, for example, depreciation of fixed assets or rental or interest expenses. Since fixed costs are incurred regardless of the application quantity (short-term), they cannot be apportioned to the unit costs according to the cause.

In the present case, given that the company must expand its capacity to take the special order, it means that all of its production factors are totally devoted to production, so that in order to produce a greater quantity of goods, the productive factors must be increased, which are part of the fixed production costs that the company has. Therefore, as the costs of production are altered, there will be an increase in fixed costs.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

15.83%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine is the standard deviation of the returns on Kurt’s Adventures, Inc. stock

First step is to determine l E(r)

E(r) = (.30 *.30) + (.55 *.12) + (.15 *-.20)

E(r)= .09 + .066 -.03

E(r)= .126

Second step is to determine Var

Var = .30 *(.30 -.126)^2 + .55 *(.12 -.126)^2 + .15 *(-.20 -.126)

Var=0090828 +.0000198 + .0159414

Var= .025044

Now let determine the Std dev

Std dev = √.025044 = .15825

Std dev= 15.83 percent

Therefore the standard deviation of the returns on Kurt’s Adventures, Inc. stock.is 15.83 percent
