Burger Prince buys top-grade ground beef for $1.00 per pound. A large sign over the entrance guarantees that the meat is fresh d

aily. Any leftover meat is sold to the local high school cafeteria for 80 cents per pound. Four hamburgers can be prepared from each pound of meat. Burgers sell for 60 cents each. Labor, overhead, meat, buns, and condiments cost 50 cents per burger. Demand is normally distributed with a mean of 400 pounds per day and a standard deviation of 50 pounds per day. What daily order quantity is optimal? (Hint: Shortage cost must be in dollars per pound.)

Answer:

421.53635

Explanation:

Let,

cost of underestimating the demand = Cu  

cost of overestimating demand = Co

Cu = (Burger selling price - cost per burger) × No. of hamburgers prepared

     = ($0.60 - $0.50) × 4

     = $0.40

Co = Price of top-grade ground beef - Selling price of leftover meat

= $1 - $0.80

= $0.20

Service Level = Cu ÷ (Cu + Co)

                       =  0.40 ÷ (0.40 + 0.20)

                       = 0.40 ÷ 0.60

                       = 0.6667

Z-Value at above service level = 0.430727 (Taken from z-tables)

Optimal Order quantity = Mean + Z-Value × Standard Deviation

                                       = 400 + 0.430727 × 50

                                       = 400 + 21.53635

                                       = 421.53635

You own a stock with an average return of 15 percent and a standard deviation of 15 percent. In any one given year, you have a 6
raketka [301]

Answer:

0%

30%

Explanation:

Given:

Average return = 15%

Standard deviation = 15%

Computation:

On assuming 68% chance,

Lowest point  = Average return - Standard deviation  

Lowest point = 15% - 15%

Lowest point = 0%

Highest point  = Average return - Standard deviation

Highest point = 15% + 15%

 Highest point = 30%

Therefore, on 68%, Lowest point is 0% and highest point is 30%.

Answer:

The right solution is "Not Deductible".

Explanation:

If everyone's investigation for a company or starting a company fails, costs classified into two broad categories besides you:

  • Unless you're a person and your effort to start a company isn't successful, there are 2 kinds of investments you have had in attempting to develop yourself in the company.
  • The expenses clients used to have before you made an intention to open a particular business. These would be personal but non-deductible charges. They include other expenses incurred throughout a regular search for something like a company or equity investment opportunity or perhaps a thorough investigation into it.
  • The expenditures you have in your effort to purchase or launch a particular venture. Such charges are capital expenditures, and that as a capital loss, you will subtract them.
