Answer:

The answer is "0.7275".

Explanation:

6 months =26 weeks.

Since we can write pdf in a medium 20 weeks since the distribution is exponential

P(X

                 = \frac{1}{20} \frac{e^{\frac{-x}{20}}}{\frac{-1}{20}}|_{0}^{26} \\\\\\ = -(e^{ \frac{-26}{20}} - e^{0})\\\\\\ = 0.7275

A nonprofit group organizes its local fundraisers in teams, with each of its L team leaders responsible for D group directors, a
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Each of L team leaders has D group directors, making the total number of group directors equal to (L)(D). And each of those group directors has F fundraisers, again requiring multiplication: that total is (L)(D)(F). (You can try this by plugging in small numbers - if each of 2 leaders has 3 directors, you know there would be 6 directors)

So while statement 1 is not sufficient (there are multiple combinations that could get you to 81, such as L = 1, D = 2, and F = 39; or L = 1, D = 5, and F = 15), statement 2 guarantees that there is only one team leader. This is because 5 is a prime number, and you know that the number of group directors = LD. The only possible way for LD to equal 5 is if L is 1 and D is 5, or if D is 1 and L is 5. And since the stimulus tells you that there are more directors than leaders, the combination must be 5 directors and 1 leader. Accordingly, statement 2 is sufficient.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The accounting equation for the cost of goods sold

COGS = opening finished good + purchases - Closing finished goods

In a manufacturing firm, purchases are also referred to as manufacturing costs.

beginning finished inventory =$40,000

costs of goods manufactured = $ 144,000

Ending finished inventory = $ 45,000

cost of  manufacturing for the period:

=$40,000 +$114,000- $45,000

=$109,000

Special Order Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad
Bond [772]

Answer:

a.

Average cost per meal = Variable cost per meal + Fixed cost allocated to one meal sold = $4 + Total fixed cost/ Number of meals sold per day = $4 + 1,200/750 = $5.60.

b.

Price per one meal as per the leader of the Scout = 150/30 = $5

As the selling price is $0.60 lower than the average cost per meal ($5-$5.60), the owner has come up with the loss of $0.60 per meal served under the Scout leader's suggestion.

However, his calculation is not reasonable, because among the $5.60 cost per meal, there is a factor of allocated fixed cost equals to $1.6 per meal which will incurred regardless of the suggestion being accepted or not.

Given his restaurant does not run at full capacity, his profit per one meal from accepting the offer should be calculated as Price per one meal as per Scout leader offer - Variable cost per one meal = $5 - $4 = $1.
