Grear Tire Company has produced a new tire with an estimated mean lifetime mileage of 36,500 miles. Management also believes tha

t the standard deviation is 5,000 miles and that tire mileage is normally distributed. To promote the new tire, Grear has offered to refund some money if the tire fails to reach 30,000 miles before the tire needs to be replaced. Specifically, for tires with a lifetime below 30,000 miles, Grear will refund a customer $1 per 100 miles short of 30,000.

b. What is the probability that Grear will refund more than $50 for a tire?

Answer:

1. The expected cost of production for each tire sold is $0.013 per tire.

2. Probability that Grear will refund more than $50 for a tire is 0.0107

Explanation;

1. Mileage is 36,500 miles

Standard deviation is 5,000 miles

Observed miles is 30,000 miles

100 miles failed at $1

Therefore;

(36,500 - 30,000) /5,000 = 1.3

To get the cost of production,

Since 100 miles equals $1 if fail

1.3 × 1 / 100

= $0.013 per tire.

2. P(Z<25,000 - 36,500/5,000)

= P(Z<-11,500/5,000)

=Z<2.3

Therefore,

1-0.9893

=0.0107

The probability that Grear will refund more than $50 for a tire is 0.0107

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

E) standard deviation of the company's common stock

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is dependent on cost of equity and cost of debt. Cost of Equity depends on company's beta (CAPM Model), growth rate of dividends (constant growth dividend discount model), so option A and C are not the answer. Cost of debt depends on coupon rate (for yield) as well as marginal tax rate (for post tax cost of debt) so option B and D are incorrect. So, answer is E. Standard deviation is the least probable factor that may cause change in WACC.

Using the \text{actual demand} for the 1st \text{period for the forecast} for the 1st week so as the error measurement begins in the second week.

The exponential soothing, α ​= 0.1

Week       Actual service calls     Forecast

1                    28                                 28

2                   34                             (28 + 0.1 x (28-28))  = 28

3.                  38                             (28 + 0.1 x (34-28))  = 28.60

4.                  27                             (28.60 + 0.1 x (38-28.60))  = 29.54

5.                  25                             (29.54 + 0.1 x (27-29.54))  = 29.29

6                                                    (29.29 + 0.1 x (25-29.29))  = 28.86

Total investment = 10000

and

Wt. of Sand Corporation shares in the total portfolio= \frac{4000}{10000} =  0.4

Wt. of Water Corporation shares in the total portfolio=\frac{2000}{10000} =  0.2

Wt. of Beach Corporation shares in the total portfolio=\frac{4000}{10000} =  0.4
