ious day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $6.00 a box.

Answer:

The appropriate answer will be "289 boxes".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Cost

= $6

Sales price

= $18

Salvage price

= $3.60

Average daily demand (d)

= 254 boxes

Standard deviation (\sigma d)

= 37 boxes

Now,

Overage of cost will be:

⇒  Co=Cost-Salvage \ price

          = 6-3.60

          =2.4 ($)

Underage of cost will be:

⇒  Cu=Price-cost

          =18-6

          =12 ($)

⇒  Service Level = \frac{Cu}{Cu+Co}

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

                            = \frac{12}{12+2.4}

                            = 0.83 \ i.e.,\ 83 \ Percent

The service level value of Z at 83% is = 0.954

⇒  Order quantity = d+(Z\times \sigma d)

                               = 254+(0.954\times 37)

                               = 289.298 \ OR \ 289 \ boxes

Two months ago, Air-tite Corporation purchased 4,500 pounds of Hydrol, paying $15,300. The demand for this product has been very
Anna007 [38]

Answer: The $4.05 market price

Explanation: Air-tite can buy or sell Hydrol at $4.05. If they decide to accept the order, there has to be a higher return on the use of Hydrol in the return than they would get from selling Hydrol as is.

There may also be an opportunity cost to using the product for this special order if there is an order that would yield higher returns for the use of Hydrol.

The quantity that would remain after making the special order does not have any impact on the decision making process, as they are considering just one order that requires Hydrol.

The purchase price is not relevant as they cannot purchase Hydrol at that price in the present. The total quantity is not relevant either as they have enough for the order.

inn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. This claim is most likely based on the right to substantive due process.

Explanation:

Substantive due process is a means by which the government's ability to interfere with the fundamental rights of individuals is limited. In this case, the fundamental right violated is that of freedom of expression, guaranteed by the First Amendment. Thus, since it is a right with constitutional protection, the government cannot curtail its operation without the due legal process necessary for this purpose.
