bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1.125

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the bullwhip measure is shown below

As we know that

The Variance of demand = Square of the standard deviation of demand

i.e.

= square of 20

= 400

And, the Variance of orders = 450

Now the

Bullwhip measure is

= The variance of orders ÷ the variance of demand

= 450 ÷ 400

= 1.125

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C. decreased by $40 billion

Explanation:

For computing the lending ability, first we have to determine the money multiplier which is shown below:

We know that

Money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve ratio

                            = 1 ÷ 20%

                            = 5

So, the total cash would be

= $10 billion × $5

= $50 million

Now the lending ability would be

=$50 billion × (1 - 20%)

= $50 billion × 0.80

= $40 billion
