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

Basile [38]

Answer:

D. Sole proprietorship.

Explanation:

We know it's definitely is a sole proprietorship because of 'unlimited personal liability' which is a key characteristic.

Selma's business is not a joint venture because she is the only person who invested and runs the business whereas a joint venture is created by two or more entities or 'shared ownership'

Nor is it a corporation for this is an 'organization' owned and manned by many people but is regarded as a single entity. Neither is her business an s corporation because that just the same as a corporation but just with different tax regulations.

liraira [26]

Answer:

A. A place where investors can buy and sell different  investments.

Explanation:

A stock exchange is a place for the exchange of stocks in the market. In other words, it is a place where investors could 'meet' to buy or sell stocks, be it investments, company shares, or company securities.

A stock market, in simple words, is the marketplace for the buying and selling of investments, a trading place for buyers and sellers. So, a stock exchange is a transaction dealing with stocks, equities, or shares of the commercial world. And the transaction or exchange can only be done if the stock is listed on an exchange.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
