Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The reorder point is the inventory management system in which a certain level of inventory is set as a trigger for reordering the stock. The probability to stocking out before the new order of envelopes arises is 25%. The lead time is normally distributed with mean of 10 boxes.

(reorder point - normally distributed mean) / standard deviation

15 boxes - 10 boxes / 3 boxes = 1.67

To calculate probability of stocking out for the company,

1.67 * 15 boxes reorder point = 25%

Question: The options were not given in the question. here are the options;

a. 50%

b. 75%

c. 5%

d. 95%

e. 25%

Answer:

The correct option is D. 95%

Explanation:

ROP = demand during lead time + (Z * standard deviation of lead time demand)

15 = 10 + (Z * 3)

Z = 1.667

For Z = 1.667, service level is nearly 95%

Rudiy27
Given: -
 Sarah's income = 25% of the partnership income but not less than $12,000.
 Net income of partnership for the year = $32,000.  
To find: -
 1) Amount that can be deducted by partnership as guaranteed payment.
 2) Income that Sarah is to report on her tax return. 
 Solution: -
 Partnership income = $32,000
 Sarah's share = 25% of 32000 = $8,000
 But Sarah must receive $12,000 (Shortfall $12,000-$8,000=$4,000)
 So, 1) $4,000 can be deducted by partnership as guaranteed payment.
 2) Income that Sarah needs to report on her tax return = $12,000.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

internal rate of return is 20.463%

Explanation:

given data

Year   Cash Flow

1         $48,000

2         $46,000

3          $41,000

equipment cost = $95,000

to find out

Determine the internal rate of return

solution

we consider here  internal rate of return  is x

so we can say present value of inflows = present value of outflows

equate here

$95000 = \frac{48000}{(x)} +\frac{46000}{(x)^2} +\frac{41000}{(x)^3}  

solve it we get

x = 20.463 %

so internal rate of return is 20.463%
