A grocery store is reevaluating the retail price of their oranges. They have a contract where they can purchase oranges for $0.52 per pound. However, this includes high quality oranges (about 40% of the time), low quality oranges (55%), and occasionally rotten fruit (5%). Suppose they sell 80% of all high quality oranges at $1.99 per pound, 65% of all low quality oranges at $1.49 per pound (they offer a sale), and they cannot sell any of the rotten fruit. What is the store's expected profit from a random shipment of 500 pounds of oranges? We do not consider personnel and other overhead costs, only the wholesale cost of the oranges. (Give your answer as a number, no dollar sign included.)
A company uses 5000 items per annum which has a price of $2 each. The ordering costs are $150 per order and holding costs are $1.50 per item per annum. The company is offered a 5% discount (discounted price is $1.90) for orders of 5000 and over. Order cost and holding cost remain at $150 per order and $1.50 respectively. Assuming that the company orders 5000 items per order, calculate the number of orders per annum, average stock, annual stock holding cost, annual order cost, annual inventory cost and the total annual cost of items and inventory.
Suppose a company charges an annual premium of $110 for an insurance policy for minor injuries. Actuarial studies show that in case of an injury claim, the company will pay out an average of $900 for outpatient care and an average of $3000 for an overnight stay in the hospital. They also determine that, on average, each year there are five claims made that result in outpatient care for every 1000 policies and three claims made that result in an overnight stay out of every 1000 policies. What is the expected annual profit of an insurance policy for the company?
A commercial vegetable and fruit grower carefully observes the relationship between the amount of fertilizer used on a certain variety of pumpkin and the revenue made from sales of the resulting pumpkin crop, recorded in the following table Amount of Fertilizer (pounds/acre) 250 500 750 1000 1250 1500 1750 2000 Revenue earned (dollars/acre) 96 145 172 185 192 196 198 199 The fertilizer costs $0.14 per pound. What would you advise the grower is the most profitable amount of fertilizer to use? Check your advice by answering/calculating the following. Is each pound of fertilizer equally effective? Explain. Graph the data and then estimate the maximum amount of revenue that can be earned per acre from your graph. Call this estimate k. Compute a linear regression for the data. Compute a logarithmic regression(LnReg) for the data. Use trial and error on your calculator to fit a function of the form r=k(1−bx)r=k(1-bx) where k is the estimate for the maximum amount of revenue and…

Hospital Beds. The number of hospital beds available in community hospitals is decreasing. Through advancement in care and technology, hospitals are getting more efficient. However, the aging and increasingly obese and diabetic population intensifies the need. The American Hospital Association Annual Survey, published by the American Hospital Association (AHA), gave the number of hospital beds available per 1000 people for each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia for 2010. Following is a stem-and-leaf diagram of the data. The stems represent units and the leaves tenths (e.g., the first entry is 1.7). How many states (including the District of Columbia) had a. at least three but less than four hospital beds per 1000 people available? b. at least four and a half hospital beds per 1000 people available?
Suppose that a region has two hospitals. Hospital A has about 10 births per day, and hospital B has about 50 births per day. About 50% of all babies are boys, but the percentage who are boys varies at each hospital from day to day. Over the course of a year, which hospital will have more days on which 60% or more of the births are boys? The smaller Hospital A, the larger B, or will Hospital A and B have nearly the same number of days?
A forest consists of two types of trees: those that are 0-5 ft and those that are taller than 5 ft. Each year, 40% of all 0-5-ft tall trees die, 10% are sold for $10 each, 30% stay between 0 and 5 ft, and 20% grow to be more than 5ft. Each year, 50% of all trees taller than 5ft are sold for $40, 20% are sold for $20, and 30% remain in the forest (continue growing). If a tree (less than 5 ft) is planted, what is the expected revenue earned from that tree ? Select one:a. $11.22b. $19.80c. $14.16d. $17.44e. $16.34f. $15.51
