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%

If the United States could produce five televisions per hour of labor and China could produce three televisions per hour of labo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

US specialisation in TV can be stated on the basis of Absolute Advantage, not comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Absolute Advantage is when a country can produce more output per input of a commodity, than other country.

Comparative Advantage is when a country can produce a good at lower opportunity cost (in terms of other sacrifised)

China can produce more (ie 5 units television) per hour employed, compared to US able to produce lesser (3 units) in the same time. So, on the basis of Absolute Advantage, it can be stated that US should specialise in TV production.

However, since other good's details have not been given. So, we cannot attain the relative opportunity costs. Hence, specialisation on the basis of comparative advantage can't be stated.

The common stock of Eddie's Engines, Inc., sells for $37.73 a share. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $3.70 per share
Furkat [3]

Answer:

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

  • D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period
  • g is the growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return   or market rate of return

Plugging in the values for P0, D1, and g, we can calculate the value of r or market rate of return on the stock to be,

37.73 = 3.70  /  (r - 0.058)

37.73 * (r - 0.058) = 3.7

37.73r - 2.18834 = 3.7

37.73r = 3.7 + 2.18834

r = 5.88834 / 37.73

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%
