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.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

If output doubles when inputs​ double, the production function will be characterized by​ a <u>constant returns to scale</u>.

Explanation:

In economics, returns to scale refers to a long run situation that reveals to the proportionate change in output when capital and labor inputs become variable or change.

The three possible types of returns to scale are as follows:

1. Increasing returns to scale: This occurs when the proportionate change in output is greater than the proportionate change in capital and labor inputs.

2. Decreasing returns to scale: This occurs when the proportionate change in output is less than the proportionate change in capital and labor inputs.

3. Constant returns to scale: This occurs when the proportionate change in output is the same as the proportionate change in capital and labor inputs.

Based on the above explanation therefore, if output doubles when inputs​ double, the production function will be characterized by​ a <u>constant returns to scale</u>. This is because the the proportionate change (double) in output is the sames as the proportionate change (double) in inputs.

The fixed overhead volume variance is the difference between the actual and budgeted production unit multiplied by the standard fixed production overhead cost per unit.

Standard fixed overhead cost per unit = $11×6 =  116

                                                                                             Units

Budgeted     units                                                               375

Actual            units                                                              <u>395</u>

Volume variance                                                                  20

Standard fixed overhead cost                                        <u>× $66 </u>
