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.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

a) Fixed costs = $22,000

b) $70,000

c) The high low cost method is generally inaccurate because it only considers the extremes, the highest and lowest costs and activity levels. Generally costs are not linear, but they might follow a certain tendency. The advantages of the high low cost method is that it is fairly accurate when costs are stable, plus it is much simpler to calculate.

d) Assuming that costs follow a certain tendency, regression analysis is much more exact since it analyses the relationship between different data and different variables. When you analyze only 2 variables, a linear regression analysis will serve you. but if you need to analyse more than two variables, then you must use a multiple regression analysis.

The R² statistic basically measures how one variable's variance is affected by other variables. E.g. if R² is 0.75, then 75% of the variance of A will be explained by the variance of B.

Explanation:

variable cost using high low cost method = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity level - lowest activity level) = ($82,000 - $46,000) / (50,000 - 20,000) = $36,000 / 30,000 gallons of ice cream = $1.20 per gallon of ice cream

fixed costs = $82,000 - (50,000 x $1.20) = $22,000

40,000 gallons

$22,000 + (40,000 x $1.20) = $70,000
