Answer:

a) $3

b) $2

c) 1449

Explanation:

Given:

The cost for a carton of milk = $3

Selling price for a carton of milk = $5

Salvage value = $0        [since When the milk expires, it is thrown out ]3

Mean of historical monthly demand = 1,500

Standard deviation = 200

Now,

a) cost of overstocking = Cost  for a carton of milk - Salvage value

= $3 - $0

= $3

cost of under-stocking = Selling price - cost for a carton of milk

= $5 - $3

= $2

b)  critical ratio = \frac{\textup{cost of under-stocking }}{\textup{cost of overstocking + cost of under-stocking }}

or

critical ratio = \frac{\textup{2}}{\textup{3 + 2}}

or

critical ratio = 0.4

c) optimal quantity of milk cartons = Mean + ( z × standard deviation )

here, z is the z-score for the critical ration of 0.4

we know

z-score(0.4) = -0.253

thus,

optimal quantity of milk cartons = 1,500 + ( -0.253 × 200 )

= 1500 - 50.6

= 1449.4 ≈ 1449 units

What would be the consequences if managers of a firm evaluated a project based on its actual dollar cash flows, but used a real
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Real rate of returns are lower than nominal rates of return, therefore, using a real discount rate would overestimate a project's net present value. This could result in unprofitable projects being accepted because the NPV was erroneously calculated. If you want to use a real discount rate, you must first convert cash flows to real dollars.

For example, nominal discount rate is 10%, inflation rate is 5%, real discount rate is 5%.

Initial outlay $100

NCF year 1 = $40

NCF year 2 = $40

NCF year 3 = $40

Using the real discount rate, the NPV = $8.93

Using the nominal discount rate, the NPV = -$0.53

When the president issues a rule or regulation that reorganizes or otherwise directs the affairs of the executive branch?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
What you described is called an executive order. The president can do this whenever he wants and if it's unconstitutional then the congress and the judiciary system, more specific the Supreme Court, can overthrow this and ban the executive order because it's considered to be unconstitutional or harmful. The president can use this for almost anything.
