Answer:

23%

Explanation:

Overage cost(Co) = $0.75

Underage cost(Cu) = $2.50

Service level = Cu/(Co + Cu)

Service level = $2.50 / ($0.75+$2.50)  

Service level = $2.50 / $3.25

Service level = 0.76923077

Service level = 76.92%

So the optimal service level is 77%

Risk of stock-out = 100% - Service level

Risk of stock-out = 100% - 77%

Risk of stock-out = 23%

elena-s [515]

Answer: $200,000

Explanation:

The cost will be allocated to customer Y, if a cause-effect relationship cannot be established with any cost driver will be calculated thus:

Total sales = $600,000 + $400,000 + $200,000 = $1,200,000

The percentage of Y on total sales will be:

= $400,000/$1,200,000 × 100

= 1/3 × 100

= 33.33%

Therefore, the cost that's allocated to Y will then be:

= $600,000 × 33.33%

= $600,000 × 0.3333

= $200,000

Therefore, the correct answer is $200,000

Stanford owns and operates two dry cleaning businesses. He travels to Boston to discuss acquiring a restaurant. Later in the mon
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The answer is: $4,522

Explanation:

Since Stanford doesn't operate in the restaurant business and doesn't buy the restaurant, he cannot deduct any amount for investigation costs relating to the restaurant.

Stanford doesn't operate in the bakery business but he bought the bakery, so he can deduct up to $5,000 (before amortization) for investigation costs related to the bakery. But those $5,000 are reduced by every dollar he spent over $50,000, so he can only deduct $4,000 [= $5,000 - ($51,000 - $50,000)].

The remaining $47,000 (= $51,000 - $4,000) can be amortized over 180 months, which equals $261 per month (= $47,000 / 180 months).

Since he bought the restaurant in November, he can deduct two months: $261 per month x 2 months = $522

So his total deduction for investigation expenses is = $4,000 + $522 = $4,522

At a price of $15 each, Marta buys 4 books per month. When the price increases to $20, Marta buys 3 books per month. Luz says th
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

No, Luz is incorrect. Marta's quantity demanded has decreased, but her demand has stayed the same.

Explanation:

For $15 per book, the quantity demanded was 4 books per month.

When the price increases to $20 per book, the quantity demanded fell to 3 books per month.

This shows a decrease in the quantity demanded. A change in demand occurs when the price is constant and quantity demanded changes because of change in other factors. But here the other factors are constant and the quantity demanded is changing due to a change in price.

So, Luz's statement here is incorrect.
