A small grocery store sells fresh produce, which it obtains from a local farmer. During the strawberry season, demand for fresh

strawberries can be reasonably approximated using a normal distribution with a mean of 40 quarts per day and a standard deviation of 6 quarts per day. Excess costs run 35 cents per quart. The grocer orders 49 quarts per day.

Answer:

(a)The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) This could be viewed as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Mean =μ = 40

Standard deviation =σ = 6

Excess cost= Ce =$0.35

The amount ordered =S₀= 49

Thus

Z =(49 -40)/6

=1.5

Now

From the Table Z, we have the service level which is,

P(X <49 ) = P(Z < 1.5)

= 0.9332

Since we know that,

Service level (SL) =Cs/Cs+Ce

So,

0,9332 =Cs/Cs+0.35

Thus

0.9332Cs + 0.35* 0.9332 =Cs

0.0668Cs =0.32662

Hence

Cs = $4.75

(a) The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) Therefore,this could be regarded as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$10,503.59

Explanation:

This question requires us to find how much you have to deposit today if:

Fv = 18,000

Time = 9 years

PV= fv/(1 + i)^n

N = 9 X 12 = 108

I/y = 0.5%

PV = $18,000 / 1.005^108

= $10,503.59

Therefore what you have to deposit today is $10,503.59

taurus [48]

Answer:

$121,363

Explanation:

The amount in 30 years is known as the Future Value (FV) . We arrive at this figure by compounding the Present Value using the interest earned on the savings as follows :

PV =  $50,000

P/yr = 1

N = 30

PMT = $ 0

i = 3 %

FV = ?

Using a Financial calculator to enter the amounts as shown above, the FV can be determined as $121,363

19. 14 oz of gold equals how much in dollars.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

14 Troy Ounces of Gold is Worth

U.S. dollars (USD) 24,984

Euros (EUR) 22,105

British pounds (GBP) 18,756

Explanation:

How much is an ounce of 14 gold?

Image result for price of gold 14oz

The current stock price for pure gold (. 999 gold) per ounce is $1786.69. That means that one ounce of 14K gold is worth $1046.26.

Is Gold a Good Store of Value?

For long periods of time, yes, gold is an excellent store of value.

Until 1971, the U.S. was on the gold standard. This meant that the price of gold was fixed at $35 per troy ounce. Since that time however, the price of gold has increased by about 8% per year, more than twice the rate of inflation, and much more than bank interest rates.

This doesn't mean that there haven't been ups and downs. Between 1980–2000, the price of gold declined considerably.

However, with governments printing more and more money due to the coronavirus and pension crises, it seems likely that gold will continue to hold its value well.
