Answer:

Take note that you used X and Y as the name of the two products but the options provided was changed to product A and B. Not withstanding, it doesn't affect the answer.

The correct answer is option (A) Product A, because it has less certain demand

Explanation:

A. Product A, because it has less certain demand.

Explanation:

Product X and Y both have the same critical ratio and both are normally distributed. Although, the demand for product X is uncertain but due to it's  large standard deviation of demand, the optimal order quantity is greater.

When a product has uncertain demand, it means that the seller can not predict the rate of demand of that product by the consumers.

Uncertain demands helps sellers to maximize profit or minimize cost.

In order to maximize profit, uncertain demand is put into consideration by the news vendor.

Answer:

A. Product A, because it has less certain demand.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the product X (A) is the one with the highest proportion of standard deviation, that is, it has a more uncertain demand. Taking into account this condition, it is expected that the number of optimal products will be greater because it has an average and critical relationship. For this reason, it is expected that the news seller will lean towards the first product, since it will generate higher income as explained at the beginning.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

a. Ted gets the hut; Sadie gets the rest.

Explanation:

Since Ted placed a much more higher priority on the hut by assigning it 35 points more than all other items, and Sadie placed a very low priority on the hut by assigning it 10 points when compared to all other items, it shows Ted is ready to let go of other items just to have the hut, and Sadie is ready to let go of the hut to have the other item. Hence, the "Ted gets the hut, Sadie gets the rest" splits is efficient.
