A Bakery stocks daily five gourmet fancy fruit-topped cakes. All the cakes that are not sold during the day are thrown away, and

the bakery restocks the next day with new cakes, bringing the in-stock level up to five at the beginning of each day. If daily demand is greater than the five cakes in stock the bakery loses sales. The special cake sells for $32 and costs the store $10. The probability distribution of daily demand for the cake is as shown below daily demand - 0, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Px - 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.20, 0.60, 0.05, 0.02

Answer:

The answer is "$1.98".

Explanation:

calculating the profit per cake = \$32 -\$10 =\$22

\text{if demand}=6 , \ lose =\$22 \\\\\text{if demand}= 7,\ lose = \$44\\

Calculating E(profit lost):

=\$22 \times 0.05+ \$44 \times 0.02\\\\ =\$ 1.1+\$ 8.8\\\\=\$ 1.98

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$3,553

Explanation:

Credit losses = Net credit sales × Historical percentage of credit losses

= $131,750 × 3%

= $3,953

Allowance for doubtful account has a credit balance of $400

The estimated bad debt expense can therefore be calculated as:

Bad debt expense = Credit losses - Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance

= $3,953 - $400

= $3,553

Hence, the estimated bad debt expense using the percentage of credit sales method is $3,553

  • Overdraft facility
  • Agency functions, including payment functions and insurance of letters of credit and checks.
