The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the prev

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. The lettuce is sold for $18.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $3.60 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 254 boxes with a standard deviation of 37 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow

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

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$22,569.48 is amount i must have to deposit today

Explanation:

FV = Future Value , PV = Present Value , r = rate of interest , n= no of period

PV = FV / (1 + r )n

PV = 32000 / (1 + 3%)^4*(1+3.6%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1 + 0.03)^4*(1+0.036%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1.03)^4*(1.036%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1.03)^4*(1.036)^3

PV= $32,000/ 1.12550881 * 1.111934656

PV= $32,000/ 1.251492251

PV = $22,569.47514

PV = $22,569.48

$22,569.48 is amount i must have to deposit today

Q 6.26: Early in 2022, Baker Company switched to a JIT (just-in-time) inventory system. Financial information for the two most r
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Incomplete question.

Explanation:

Now that using different inventory systems would result in a different value of the inventory.

For example, the JIT (just in time) system implies that the company request inventory just in time when they are needed for production or supply. It therefore means that the value of their inventory level using this method should be lesser, since Baker Company would only receive inventory of what it wants to utilize immediately.
