Which type of advertisement is most likely to make you submit your ad far in advance?

Granite State Airlines serves the route between New York and Portsmouth, NH, with a single-flight-daily 100-seat aircraft. The o

TEA [102]

Answer:

Given data: One flight with total seats = 100

Full fare passengers, cost per ticket=$150, mean=56 passengers, SD=23

Discount fare passengers, cost per ticket=$100, mean=88 passengers, SD=44

(a) Here, though there is a hint to use the CDF, since the confidence interval is not given we will make some simplying assumptions that will reduce the complexity of the question, of course keeping the question statistically correct.

this question wants us to maximize total revenue per flight (one way), we can do that by taking only full fare passengers or total revenue will be 150*100=$15,000, but since historical probability shows a mean of 56 with a standard deviation of 23, we can assume in best case scenario total full fare ticket passengers will be 56+23=79, leaving 21 tickets for discount passenger, in this case the total revenues will be 79*150+21*100=$13,950

(b) Now, the new constrained policy is giving a clear cut number of seats to each category of pasengers, 44 for discount (total revenues 44*100) and 56 for full fare (total revenues 56*150) both of which are within the probabilities given earlier (full fare mean=56, discount mean=88). Total revenues in case will be 44*100+56*150=$12,800.

(c) Gain is the difference of the excess revenues in both cases of optimal total revenues and limited seats policy or answer (a) - answer (b) = $13,950- $12,800=$1,150

(d) Realistically speaking, there is no answer for this question without a clear cut confidence interval. Another simplifying assumption we can make here is taking the mean passengers as expected bookings (can be tweaked once confidence interval or degree of significance is given). so total revenues in this case will be 44*100 from discount and 56*150 from full fare passengers. That is still similar to answer (c) due to our assumption/lack of constraints, so our optimal booking will be 54 full fare tickets and 44 discount passenger tickets. You can also take worst case scenario by subtracting SD of each passenger type from the mean or go the best case scenario in which SD of full fare will be added to the mean while the pending seats (left over from 100) will be the total to discount fare for optimal revenue collection.

Given the following :

Ordering cost = $10 / order

Carrying cost = 4 cents per pound per day

Cost of pepperoni = $3 per pound

Daily demand = 20 pounds

Order quantity = 80 pounds

Average inventory level at the time in which 80 pounds of pepperoni was ordered is given as

Average inventory level is given as :

Order quantity / 2

80 pounds / 2 = 40 pounds

The stockholders' equity of Gorsky Company at the beginning and end of 2018 totaled $ 125,000 and $ 131,000, respectively. Ass

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The assets at the end of 2018 will be for 222,000

Explanation:

We solve using the accounting equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

2017

Equity 125,000

Assets 145,000

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

145,000 = Liabilities + 125,000

145,000 - 125,000 = Liabilities

Liaiblities = 20,000

2018

Equity 131,000

"Liabilities increase by 71,000"

Liabilities = 2017 + increase = 20,000 + 71,000 = 91,000

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Assets = 91,000 + 131,000 = 222,000

Your book describes the increase in the money supply as being analogous to giving people more money. If the output of goods and

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Purchasing power parity (PPP): The principle suggests that if the purchasing powers are the same in two different countries, their exchange rates would be in equilibrium.

Happening: When inflation occurs in the US and it occurs more rapidly than in other nations, the currency, the dollar, will be less attractive to other nations. This means that the dollar's exchange rate with the currency of another nation will increase.

Explanation:

Suppose the rate of exchange between pound and dollar is 1 pound= 1.5 dollar before inflation. When inflation happens it may be 1 pound= 2 dollars.

If it has greater buying power, the currency will be demanded more. The US dollar was more requested before inflation, as 1 pound is spent on buying just $1.5. When inflation occurs, the dollar's buying power goes down and it gets less needed. 1 pound is already being spent on that time but to buy more dollars, 2 dollars.
