Answer: Both of them

Explanation:

The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.

Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.

As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.

Effective credit management involves establishing credit standards for extending credit to customers, determining the company’s
arsen [322]

Answer and Explanation:

The company handles the credit accounts including methods of invoicing and collecting past-due accounts, is indicated by the collection policy as it includes the net days given to the customers

Now if the customer pays the cash within eight days after the sale, the amount of cash paid is

= $100,000 × 0.99

= $99,000

And, if payment is made after 15 days so no discount would be given as it is exceeded the prescribed time limit i.e 10 days. So in this case the $100,000 cash is paid

Now the days sales outstanding is

= 0.30 × 10 + 0.70 × 35

= 3 +24.5

= 27.50 days

A local pizzeria sells 500 large pepperoni pizzas per week at a price of $20 each. Suppose the owner of the pizzeria tells you t
kotegsom [21]

Answer: (1) 700 pizzas

(2) Its revenue increases by $2600.

Explanation:

Given that,

price elasticity of demand for his pizza = -4

Percentage change in price = 10%

Initial Quantity,Q_{0} = 500 Pizzas

Elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{Percentage\ change\ in\ price }

-4 = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{0.1 }

\frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity } = -4 × 0.1

\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}} = 0.4

\frac{Q_{1}-500}{500} = 0.4

∴ Q_{1} = 700

Initial price, P_{0} = $20

Changed price, P_{1} = $18

Revenue at t = 0

P_{0} Q_{0} = 500 × 20 =$10000

Revenue at t = 1

P_{1} Q_{1} = 700 × 18 = $12600

Therefore, from the above calculations it was seen that his revenue increases by ($12600 - $10000)= $2600 and its sales increases to 700.

Abby and jason are building a new house. they obtained a construction loan of $100,000, which will be rolled over into a convent
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

the initial principal balance is $100,000, but it will gain 2% simple monthly interest during 16 months = $100,000 + ($100,000 x 2% x 16) = $132,000

the mortgage loan's principal = $132,000

APR = 12%

n = 30 years or 360 monthly payments

1) using a loan calculator we can determine that the monthly mortgage payment (only  principal + interest) = $1,357.77

2) since they will make 360 monthly payments, they will pay in total = $1,357.77 x 360 = $488,796.71

in total they will pay $$356,796.71  in interest

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales =  145,000 units

Desired ending inventory =   28,500 units

Beginning inventory =  21,750

Budgeted production in units for November:

= Sales + desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory

= 145,000 units + (190,000 × 15%) - 21,750

=  145,000 units + 28,500 - 21,750

= 151,750 units
