A new shop wants to sell Muffins, the sell price is 2.5 dollars per unit. The cost for production is 1 dollar per unit. At the f

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The price went from 2.50 dollar per unit to 1.25

And quantity sold of first hand muffin increase from 500 to 1,600

Explanation:

First day:

We build the equation and solve considering:

a= first hand muffin sold at 2.5 dollar

b = left-over sold at 0.5 dollar

considering the shop made 2,000 muffin and the cost is 1 dollar per muffin:

quantities equation: a + b = 2,000

price equation: 2.5a + 0.5b = 2,000

2.5(2,000 - b) + 0.5b = 2,000

5,000 - 2.5b + 0.5b = 2,000

3,000/2 = b = 1,500

a = 2,000 - b = 2,000 - 1,500 = 500

It sale 500 dollar of muffin at 2.5 and 1,500 at 0.5 getting a total of 2,000 revenue to cover the cost.

Second day:

There is a decrease in price to 1.25 per muffin

This generates a profit of 400 dollar thus:

(sales price less cost) x quantity = profit

(1.25 - 1) x a = 400

a = 400/0.25 = 1,600

The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of a new ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a. Year 6 Forecast = 3,775

b. Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = 108.3

c. Year 6 Forecast = 3,780

Explanation:

Given

The miles driven during the past 5 years are as follows

Year 1 -- 3,100

Year 2 --- 4,050

Year 3 --- 3,450

Year 4 ---- 3,750

Year 5 --- 3,800

a. The forecast for year 6 is calculated as follows;

Using a 2 year moving average

Forecast = ½(Year 4 + Year 5)

Forecast = ½(3750 + 3800)

Forecast = ½ * 7550

Forecast = 3,775

b. Calculating the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), if two years moving average is used.

------------------------------2 year difference ----- Difference

Year 1 -- 3,100 ------------------------------------------

Year 2 --- 4,050 -----------------------------------------

Year 3 --- 3,450 ---- 3,575 -------- 125

Year 4 ---- 3,750 ---- 3,750 ------ 0

Year 5 --- 3,800 ----- 3,600 ------ 200

The 2-year difference column is calculated using.

Summation of previous 2 years forecast * ½

Year 1 and 2 are empty because they don't have previous 2 years.

For year 3;

2 year difference = ½ (year 1 + year 2)

= ½(3,100 + 4,050)

= ½ (7,150)

= 3,575

For year 4

2 year difference = ½ (year 2 + year 3)

= ½(4,050 + 3,750)

= ½ (7,500)

= 3,750

For year 5:

2 year difference = ½ (year 3 + year 4)

= ½(3,750 + 3,450)

= ½ (7,200)

= 3,600

Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = (Summation of Difference)/3

Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = (125 + 0 + 200)

Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = 325/3

Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = 108.3

c. for year 6 using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.40 and 0.60

For year 5:

Forecast = 0.4 * year 4 + 0.6 * year 5

= 0.4(3,750) + 0.6(3,800)

= 3,780

Assume that three identical units of merchandise were purchased during October, as follows: Units Cost October 5 Purchase 1 $5 1

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Cost of merchandise sold = $ 28

Gross profit = $ 13

The ending inventory under the LIFO method = $ 18

Explanation:

Given:

October 5,

Purchased units = 1

Unit cost = $5

on October 12,

Purchased units = 1

Unit cost = $ 13

On October 28,

Purchased unit = 1

Unit cost = $ 15

Total cost of the 3 units purchased = $33

Now, the unit sold on October 31 will be the unit purchased in the end i.e on October 28

thus,

Cost of merchandise sold = $ 28

Gross profit = Selling price of the unit - Unit price of purchase

Gross profit = $ 28 - $ 15 = $ 13

now, the ending inventory under the LIFO method = $ 5 + $ 13 = $ 18

kogti [31]

Answer: Certain brand names, such as Kleenex or Xerox, have become generic name.

Explanation:

Generic name is the term used to refer a product with its brand name rather than the product itself. Kleenex and Xerox are the brand names of the products. Xerox is photocopying product and Kleenex is the brand name for wet wipes. People commonly use the word Kleenex instead of tissues or wet wipes.

This process can be called as genericization and companies loose their trademarks due to these usage of names. These generic names have wide spread popularity.
