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

Answer:

The floating exchange system

Explanation:

The floating exchange rate is a system where the Forex market determines the currency price of a country relative to other currencies. The forces of demand and supply drive the prices.

In the floating exchange system,  governments do not directly fix their exchange rates as they do in the fixed-exchange-rate. However, through central banks' monetary policies, governments try to keep their currency prices competitive for international trade.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$6.5 per share

Explanation:

Given that,

Net income = $6,000,000

Preferred dividend = $150,000

Weighted average number of common shares  = 900,000

Angel's Basic earnings per share:

[Net income - Preferred dividend ] ÷ Weighted average number of common shares

= [$6,000,000 - $150,000] ÷ 900,000

= 5,850,000 ÷ 900,000

= $6.5 per share

Lance’s Diner has a hot-lunch special each weekday and Sunday afternoon. The cost of food and other variable costs for each meal
Bumek [7]

Answer:

(a) $700

(b) $5.50

Explanation:

Weekly fixed costs = $6,000

Weekly Total meals = Average customers per day × No. of days

                                 = 500 × 6

                                 = 3,000

Fixed cost per meal = Weekly fixed costs ÷ Weekly Total meals

                                  = $6,000 ÷ 3,000

                                  = $2

(a) Lowest price in total = Number of customers × Variable costs for each meal

                                       = 200 × $3.50

                                       = $700

(b) Lowest price = Variable costs for each meal  + Fixed cost per meal

                           = $3.50 + $2

                           = $5.50
