Answer:

2.94% (about 3%)

Explanation:

Average daily usage = 45 pounds

Lead time = 9 days

If we calculate the Reorder point using the above we get:

Reorder point = Lead time x Average daily usage = 45 x 9 = 405 pounds

However, the manager was reordering lubricant when the amount on hand reaches 422 pounds

Hence the safety stock = 422 - 405 = 17 units

Reorder point is calculated as: Lead time*demand per unit time=45*9=405

In the course of the lead time, we have a standard deviation calculated as:

Daily standard deviation x (Lead time)^0.5

= 3 x (9^0.5) = 3 x 3 = 9

Hence the risk of stock out = (422 - 405)/9 x Standard Deviation = 1.89 x S.D

Using the normal distribution curve, with the z-value of 1.89, this means that the probability of stock out = 0.0294 = 2.94%

Approximately 3%.

Answer: The risk of stock out = 2.94%

Explanation:

Reorder point is calculated as: Lead time*demand per unit time=45*9=405

While the amount on-hand reaches 422 pounds, the manager was reordering lubricant.

During the lead time, Standard Deviation of Demand =Daily S.D*(Lead time)^0.5=3*(9^0.5)=9

Risk of Stock Out=(422-405)/9 S.D=1.89 S.D

From Normal distribution curve 1.89 S.D=0.0294=2.94%

Therefore, the risk of stock out=2.94%

True or false: the market for tomatoes does exhibit the two primary characteristics that define perfectly competitive markets.
Alenkinab [10]
True - The tomato exhibits characteristics of a perfectly competitive market. Firstly, it is made up of many buyers and sellers. Secondly, all firms that partake in the trade do not control the market. Instead, they are price takers. As such, they sell tomatoes according to the prevailing market prices per unit of tomatoes. All firms also have a relatively small market share.

satela [25.4K]

Answer: the operating capital is $40.00

Explanation:

operating capital is also known as working capital. it is the value of running a business on daily basis. it is also the value of short term resources available for use in daily activities.  it is current assets minus current liabilities of a business.

current assets = cash + inventory + account  receivable + short term investment = 20+50+20+60= 150

current liabilities = accruals + account payable + notes payable=50+30+30=110

operating capital = 150 - 110 = 40

a job costing system involves the process of accumulating information about the costs associated with a specific production or service job service. This information may be required in order to submit the cost information to a customer under a contract where costs are reimbursed.

This involves the accumulation of the costs of materials, labor, and overheads for a specific job.

How to calculate job costing:

Total job cost= direct materials + direct labor + applied overhead

Calculate labor costs:

Determine how much it cost your organization to hire all workers who will work on the project. Multiple the pay per day rate by the number of workers you have estimate to have.

Calculate material costs:

Calculate the cost of all materials that will be used on the job.

Estimate applied overhead:

This is the most difficult to determine, you will need to determine the total overhead costs factoring into the project. This will include your rental expense for the office as well as administrative costs and depreciation of all equipment used.
