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.
a. What is the implied cost of shortage per quart?

b.Why might this be a reasonable figure?

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.

Suppose that the price of good X rises from $12.00 to $12.90, and as a result the quantity demanded of good X falls from 5,000 u
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand is 1.14.

The price is Elastic.

Elasticity is more than one so total revenue will fall.

Explanation:

Given the initial price of good x = $12

Final price of good x = $12.90

% change in price = [(12.90 - 12) / 12] x 100 = 7.5 %

Initial quantity = 5000

Final quantity = 4600

% change in quantity = [(4600 - 5000)/5000] x 100 = -8%

Elasticity = % change in quantity / % change in price

Elasticity = 8% / 7%

Elasticity = 1.14

The price elasticity of demand is 1.14.

The price is Elastic.

Since elasticity is more than one so total revenue will fall.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

people care more about their own surplus than they do about total surplus. 

Explanation:

Price control can either be a price ceiling or a price floor.

A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service. It is usually set below equilibrium price.

Price ceiling increase consumer surplus and reduce producer surplus.

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the least price a good or service can be sold. It is usually set above equilibrium price.

Price floor increases producer surplus and reduces consumer surplus.

Producers would be advocating for a price floor because it increases their surplus, while, consumers would advocate for a price ceiling.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product.
