D. 5,000 gallons

=√2×150,000×250÷480

=12,500

b.)

=Demand quantity÷ Economic Ordering quantity

=150,000÷12,500

=12 times

c.) If The MBC storage tanks have a capacity of 15,000 gallons there is no need of expanding the storage tanks reason been that the Economic order quantity is lesser than the storage capacity of the tank.

d.) The reorder point can be calculated as follows;

= Lead time× Average

Average demand quatity =1,500/300

Reorder point 10×500

=5,000 gallons

Joanna is deciding between consuming Good X and Good Y. At her current level of consumption, her marginal utility per dollar for
ikadub [295]

Answer:

D) consume more of Good X or less of Good Y until the marginal utility per dollar for Good X and Good Y is equal.

Explanation:

Since Joanna's marginal utility per dollar is higher for good X than per good Y, then she must consume a combination of both goods until their marginal utility per dollar is equal.

Since marginal utility is diminishing, if she reduces her consumption of good Y, maybe it will increase and match X's. Or she can choose to consume more X until its marginal utility diminishes and matches Y's.

Suppose that the weekly price of milk is $3.40 per gallon and MPEP decides to ramp up weekly advertising by 35 percent to $150 (
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Total Cost increase  5,253.4 unit

Explanation:

given data

weekly price a = $3.40 per gallon

ramp up weekly b = 35%

ramp up weekly  upto x = $150( in hundred)

solution

we will use here the regression equation that is

Y = a + b x    ...........................1

here Y is Total Cost and a is fixed cost and  

b is rate of variability and x is level of activity

so here put value in equation 1 we get

Total Cost Y = 3.40 + 0.35 × ( 15,000)

Total Cost  Y = 3.40 + 5,250

Total Cost increase  5,253.4 unit
