Answer:

(a) Real Interest Rate   = -1 %

(b) Real Interest Rate   = -2.4 %

Explanation:

Real Interest Rate = (1+ Nominal Interest rate)/(1+Inflation Rate) -1

 (a)Real Interest Rate = (1+0.01)/(1+0.02)-1

                                    = -1 %

 (b) Real Interest Rate = (1+0.005)/(1+0.03) -1

                                      = -2.4 %

Real Interest Rate is an interest rate that has been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation to reflect the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or to an investor.

Marshmellow Corporation sells a product for $140 per unit. The product's current sales are 12,500 units and its break-even sales
xeze [42]

Answer:

c. 10%

Explanation:

Margin of safety is the sales value at which the business is safe from making loss. It measures the profit after the break-even point. The sales over the break-even point is considered as the margin of safety.

Margin of safety = Actual Sales - Break-even point = 12,500 units - 11,250 units = 1250 units

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = Margin of safety / Actual sales

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = 1,250 / 12,500

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = 0.10

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = 10%

A resort hotel is planning to install a computerized inventory system to manage complementary guest items such as soap and shamp
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand

z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053

√lead time = √7 = 2.6458

standard deviation of demand = 3

safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps

reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps

EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]

S = order cost = $10

D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840

H = $0.05

EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps

b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22

total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20

total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42

Guest expectations +____________=guest satisfaction
avanturin [10]

Answer: C. Perceived Value

Explanation:

When we speak of Perceived value, we speak of how a customer evaluates a good or service in relation to how well it served them especially in relation to similar good or services.

It is essentially the customer, ranking a good or service in terms of how well they feel it fulfilled it's intended purpose.

When guests to an Establishment come with expectations for instance, how well the guests think these expectations are met (perceived Value) is what determines the overall satisfaction of the guest.

Hence the formula, Guest expectations + Perceived Value = Guest Satisfaction
