Answer: 8.56crews
Explanation:
To get critical fractile probability SL,
We stock up the local trash collection capacity.Cost of overstocking by 1 ton =MC = 625/5 = $125Cost of understocking by 1 ton = additional cost of using outside trash pick up = MB = $650-$125 = $5
SL = Prob(RQ) = MB /( MB + MC) = 525/(125 + 525) = 0.8077 appropriate # of crews = 8.56 crews
Answer:
b. quantity with price as the explanatory variable because the demand curve is linear.
Explanation:
A linear demand curve can be defined as the graphical representation of the relationship between the quantity of goods or services that are being demanded by the consumers and the price of the goods or services at a specific period of time.
Generally, the x-axis of the graph is used to represent the price of the goods or services while the y-axis of the graph is used to represent the quantity of goods or services that are being demanded by the customers at a specific period of time.
In this scenario, You work for a firm producing fitness equipment and have been informed that the demand curve for the firm's main product, a multi-station home gym, is linear. Also, you have been provided with price and quantity data obtained from focus groups and have been asked to run a regression of revenue on price.
Hence, a linear functional form can properly be used to estimate quantity with price as the explanatory variable because the demand curve is linear.
Additionally, according to the law of demand, as the price of a particular product or service increases, there will be a decrease in the quantity that is being demanded by the consumers.
Answer:
(B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f}
Explanation:
This is an example of Leontif utility function which states that the preferences of a consumer is to a constant ratio of quantities of two or more goods in his demand bundles and having an extra unit of a single good will not increase the utility of the consumer and will make the extra unit to waste. But having more units of all the goods in the demand bundle which maintain the constant ratio will increase the utility of the consumer.
A good example usually used in economics is that of a pair of shoe. Having one right and one left of a type of shoe gives a consumer utility at a constant ratio of 1:1, and increasing each leg by multiple of one at every point in time will increase the utility of the consumer, while increasing just only one makes the utility not to change. For instance, having only two left shoe will not give the consumer any utility and make both the left shoe useless.
In the question, the ratio of cups of corn meal, denoted by c, and cups of flour, denoted by f, is 2:1. This implies that to increase the utility of the consumer, c has to increase by a multiple of 2 at every point in time while f has to increase by one at the same point in time to maintain the constant ratio of 2:1. Increasing only c by 2 or only f by 1 will maintain the constant ratio and it will lead to a waste of the increased unit of the affected commodity.
Therefore, option (B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f} is the correct answer that gives a constant ratio of 2:1 = 2c:f.
I wish you the best.
Answer: 90.32%
Explanation:
Weekly demand (d) = 120
Standard deviation = 10
Lead time (l) = 4
Reorder point = 506
The reorder point is calculated as:
506 = 120 × 4 + Z × 10 × ✓4
Solving for Z will give us 1.3
Then, we check this in the z table which will give us p = 0.9032
Therefore, the service level is 90.32%.
