Answer:

C. Increasing efficiency by allowing for greater specialization

Explanation:

A free economy is one where the forces of demand and supply determine production and consumption. The government or the central authority does not interfere with economic activities in a free economy.

In a free economy, the factors of production are held by the private sector. There is increased business competition as entrepreneurs have the freedom to open a business of their choice. Buyers have the liberty to buy from their preferred suppliers. Businesses are profit-motivated, which forces entrepreneurs to be creative and innovative to win customers and make more sales. They have to specialize and increase their efficiency to be more competitive.

Dunstreet's department store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

219 sheets

Explanation:

D = 5000 per year,

d = daily demand = 5000/365 = 13.70 sheets

T = time between orders (review) = 14 days

L = Lead time = 10 days

σd= Standard deviation of daily demand = 5 per day

I = Current Inventory = 150 sheets Service Level

P = 95% (Probability of not stocking out) q=d(L+D)z σ T+L-1

σ T+L-1= square root (T+L)=5 square root 14+10= 24.495

From Standard normal distribution, z = 1.64 for 95% Service Level (or 5% Stock out)

q=13.70*(14+10)+1.64(24.495)-150

= 218.97 →219 sheets

JL.53 Bob's Bumpers has a repetitive manufacturing facility in Kentucky that makes automobile bumpers and other auto body parts.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Annual demand = 75000 = D

S = ordering cost/set up cost = $53

d = daily demand = 75000/250 = 300

h = holding cost per unit per year = $25

p = Daily production rate = 320

optimal size of the production run =EPQ = sqrt((2*D*S)/(h*(1-(d/p))))

= sqrt((2*75000*53)/(25*(1-(300/320))))

= 2255.659549 = 2255.66 (Rounded to 2 decimal places)

maximum inventory = EPQ*(1 - (d/p))

= 2255.66*(1 - (300/320))

= 140.97875

Avergae inventory = 140.97875/2 = 70.49

Number of production runs = Annual demand/EPQ = 75000/2255.66 = 33.25

Holding cost with EPQ = 2255.66 = 70.49*25 = 1762.25

With EPQ = 500, maximum inventory = 500*(1 - (300/320)) = 31.25

Holding cost with EPQ = 500, holding cost (31.25/2)*25 = 390.625

Savings = 1762.25 - 390.625 = 1371.625

The demand for most products varies directly with changes in consumer incomes. Such products are known as_________.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Normal goods

Explanation:

In simple words, normal goods refers to the goods which re necessary for the survival for the survival for re consumer and the consumer do not take its quality into consideration while making a purchase decision.

The demand for such goods have a positive relationship with the income of consumer, that is, when the income or wages of consumer increase the demand for such goods also increases and vice versa.

The annual demand for a product is 15,300 units. The weekly demand is 294 units with a standard deviation of 90 units. The cost

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units

Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units

new safety stock = 331

331 = Z * 90 * √10

Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163

Using Normal distribution function, the new confidence interval is 87.76%
