Answer:
$25 favorable
Explanation:
std rate $ 3.40
actual rate $ 3.30 (825 total cost / 250 labor hours)
actual hours 250
difference $0.10
250 x 0.1 = rate variance
rate variance $25.00
The diference between the actual cost per hour of the employee and the standard we considered is positive, it cost less to have the employee working on the product. the variance is favorable.
Answer:
<u>Amplified word of mouth.</u>
Explanation:
Word of mouth marketing refers to using customer recommendations for the purpose of advertising so as to accomplish marketing goals.
Usually this form of marketing is spread from one customer to another in the form of recommendations.
For instance, a customer who uses a product and liked it, posts a favorable review on the product site, praising the product. Such a review would influence other prospective buyer and their purchases.
There are two kinds of word of mouth namely, organic and amplified. In the case of former, the review and praises arise out of natural tendency of the customer to recommend the product.
In case of the latter, the marketers launch such campaigns that encourage word of mouth in both existing as well as new communities.
In the given case, the company distributes free samples and seeks feedback of the target customers on the company's blog, which would be visible to prospective customers. The goal being to stimulate positive word of mouth, this method refers to amplified word of mouth.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
Forecast is the prediction of future values of a time series.
Forecast in literal sense means prediction or estimate.
Forecast is based on the examination of a systematic data in time series, which reflects some past behavior and future predictions are made on the basis of that.
Time series can be described as the sequence of observations regarding a variable which is recorded over a certain time period.
With a mean of 1000 and a standard deviation of 600, the probability that the demand is going to be withing 25 percent of its forecast is 0.3230.
a. Mean = 1000
sd = 600
p(1000x 1-25%) - p(1000x 1+25%)
using the z test
d-μ/σ
find values using excel sheet formula
NORMSDIST(0.4167) - NORMSDIST(-0.4167)
=m0.6615 - 0.3385
= 0.3230
<h3>b. The probability that the forecast would be more than 40 percent</h3>
1000x 1+40%
= p(D>1400)
= 1- NormDist(0.667)
= 0.225
c. Cu = 121-72 = 49
Co = 72.50 = 22
The critical ratio calculation
49/22 +49 = 0.6901
Normsinv(0.6901) = 0.496
1000+0.496x600
= 1297
The units that Flextrola has to order is 1297.
<h3>d. The expected sales of Flextrola</h3>
1200-1000/600
= 0.3333
loss function from z = 0.333 is 0.254
600x0.254 = 152. 4
1000-152.4 = 847.6
the expected sales are 847.6
e 1200- 847.6
= 352. 4
The units of inventory that can be sold is 352.4
