Answer: 27.28 units
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a company wants to determine its reorder point (R) and that demand is variable and they want to build a safety stock into R. We have also been given the information that the company wants to have a service level of 95 percent and that average daily demand is 8, lead time is 3 days and the standard deviation of demand during lead time is 2.
It should be noted that a service level of 95% will have a desired z score of 1.64. To get the desired value of R, we multiply the average daily demand by the number of the days in lead time and then add to the multiplication between the standard deviation during the lead time and the desired z score. Mathematically, this will be expressed as:
= (8 × 3) + (2 × 1.64)
= 24 + 3.28
= 27.28
Therefore, the desired value of R = 27.28 units
Answer:
PED = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms
Explanation:
price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price
- % change in quantity demanded = [(30 - 50) / 50] x 100 = -40%
- % change in price = [($24 - $12) / $12] x 100 = 100%
PED = -40% / 100% = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms
the demand is price inelastic since |0.4| < 1
this means that the change in quantity demanded is proportionally less than the change in price.
Answer:
Explanation:
See the attached for a spreadsheet of the values given in the problem statement. We have simply added the salary to the value of the preference and subtracted the one-time moving expense.
The right-most column shows the net increase in value of moving to Miami for each of the householders. Bonnie achieves so much more value that her net value outweighs the rather significant hit in value that Donna experiences.
If the vote is by net value to the householders, they must vote to move. There are no householders that have a net zero change in value.

A decision based on net value does not account for the rather significant cost to Donna. If the household values mental health and interpersonal relationships, the fact that one member suffers badly from the move should be enough to sway the decision against it.
Answer:
<em>Warranty expense should be recorded in the period when the warranty service is performed.</em>
Explanation:
When the product is sold, a product guarantee liability and warranty cost should be reported if it is possible that consumers may make claims under the warranty and the amount can be calculated.
Those two provisions are part of the Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 5 of the FASB, Accounting for Contingencies.
Answer:
d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment
While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage
Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR
Therefore option d is correct
