Flextrola, Inc. , an electronics systems integrator, is planning to sell its next generation product using components sourced fr

om its supplier. Flextrola will integrate the component with some software and then sell it to consumers. Given the short life cycles of such products and the long lead times quoted by its supplier, Flextrola only has one opportunity to place an order prior to the beginning of its "selling season. " Assume that Flextrola’s demand during the season is normally distributed with a mean of 1000 and a standard deviation of 600. (A normal table is provided at the end of this exam for your convenience. )
Solectrics’ production cost for the component is $52 per unit and it plans to sell the component for $72 per unit to Flextrola. Flextrola incurs essentially no cost associated with the software integration and handling of each unit. Flextrola sells these units to consumers for $121 each. Flextrola can sell unsold inventory at the end of the season in a secondary electronics market for $50 each. The existing contract specifies that once Flextrola places the order, no changes are allowed to it. Also, Solectrics does not accept any returns of unsold inventory, so Flextrola must dispose of excess inventory in the secondary market.


Required:

a. What is the probability that Flextrola’s demand will be within 25 percent of its forecast?

b. What is the probability that Flextrola’s demand will be more than 40 percent greater than its forecast?

c. Under this contract, how many units should Flextrola order to maximize its expected profit?

d. What are Flextrola’s expected sales?

e. How many units of inventory can Flextrola expect to sell in the secondary electronics market?

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

p(z < \frac{1250-1000}{600} )-p(z < \frac{-1000}{600} )\\\\(z < 0.4167)-(z < -0.4167)

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

Accounts receivable from sales to customers amounted to $40,000 and $32,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively.
natima [27]

Answer:

a. $118,000

Explanation:

When preparing a cash flow statement, using indirect method we add decrease in current assets and we deduct increase in current assets.

Here it is provided that income reported = $110,000

Opening balance of accounts receivables = $40,000

Closing balance of accounts Receivables = $32,000

Change in Accounts receivables = Closing - Opening = $32,000 - $40,000 = - $8,000

Therefore there is decrease in accounts receivables which is a current asset.

Thus Cash Flow from operating activities

Net Income = $110,000

Add: Decrease in current assets = $8,000

Net cash flow from operating activity = $118,000

Correct option is

a. $118,000

A country is closed. It has no government sector, and its aggregate price levels and interest rates are fixed. Furthermore, the
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The country has closed economy; it means there is no other trading relation with, outside countries. Export imports do not affect the economy of the country, and here is no government interference as mentioned in the question. This is a self sufficient country, its demand fulfilled from inside of the country. So its aggregate price levels and interest rate are fixed. MPC or the marginal propensity to consume indicates whether there is an increase in disposable income or increase in consumption. Here consumption increases equal to the increase in the income.

MPC = ΔC /ΔY which is constant here.

The increase in income in this country is mostly permanent and increases in a fix period of time and proportionately.

C= 200 +0.75 YD (YD is disposable income), Y=75, GDP =$900

The economy achieves it’s equilibrium level when supplies meets demand or the GDP is equals to it’s total expenditure. MPC is a fraction between 0 and 1 , MPC means a change in consumption brings the change in YD . here the MPC is equals to MPS which means the change in saving bring by the change in disposable income. All income here saved or consumed. So the change in income equals to the change in consumption or saving.

MPC+ MPS = 1

So the average propensity to consume is proportionate to income which is spend on consumption. APC= C/ YD. And the average proportionate to save is equals to income saved APS= S/YD . so here APC +APS = 1. The increase in production or price leads to the increase in the total value of output, that is the equilibrium condition.
