Answer:

276 boxes

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost price of lettuce = $9

Selling price of lettuce = $17

Selling price of old lettuce (Salvage value) =$5

Mean demand (m) = 258

Standard deviation(σ) = 41

The marginal profit = selling price - cost price

Marginal profit = $(17 - 9) = $8

Marginal loss ; old lettuce : cost price - salvage value $(9 - 5) = $4

Probability (p) = marginal profit /(marginal profit + marginal loss)

P = 8 / (8 + 4) ; 8 / 12 = 0.667

Using the InvNorm function of the T84 calculator :

InvNorm(prob, mean, standard deviation)

InvNorm(0.667, 258, 41) = 275.697 = 276 boxes

Number of lettuce boxes supermarket should purchase tomorrow = 276 boxes

Answer:

A. $22,000 decrease

Explanation:

The reason behind Granfield Company interested in predicting the increase or decrease in net income when they purchase new machinery by selling an old one is because you have the Cash coming through so that they don't run out of money. As per Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) the other name of Profits is Net Income. The company may not have Cash in the bank but their Net Income may be in millions. So, when Companies like Granfield when usually invests are usually concerned about their investments that weather they will be profitable or not. In this instance of Granfield Company, they predict that by acquiring the new machinery they will save on manufacturing overhead by $19,000 over 4 years which accumulates to $76,000.

Annual Savings = $19,000 x 4 = $76,000

We are told to ignore the time value of money here so if the proceeds from previous machinery are $22,000, then add the proceeds from machinery and annual savings and we get a total of $98,000

Annual Savings $76,000

Add: Proceeds from Sale of Machine $22,000

Total Savings $98,000

To find the increase or decrease in net income or the effect of purchase of new machinery and disposal of old machinery on net income can be calculated as follows;

Total Savings $98,000

Less: Purchase of New Machinery $120,000

Decrease in Net Income $22,000

Hence the Net Income will decrease by $22,000 which means there will be a decrease in retained earnings and stockholders' equity.

Option A is the Correct answer.

Assume that an economy described by the Solow model is in a steady state with output and capital growing at 3 percent, and labor
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The growth-accounting equation indicates that the contributions to growth of capital, labor, and total factor productivity are 0.9%, 0.7%, and 1.4%, respectively.

Explanation:

Given

Capital growing = 3%

Labor growing = 1%.

Capital share = 0.3

Assuming the economy is in a steady state;

The growth accounting equation is as follows:

GDP Growth = Capital Growth*(Weight of Capital Contribution) + Labor Growth*(Weight of Labor Contribution) + Technological Progress.

Contribution to Growth of Capital = 3% * 0.3 = 0.9%

Contribution to Growth of Labour = (1 - 0.3)% = 0.7%

Total Factor Productivity = 1 + 0.3 + 0.1 = 1.4%
