The sale of a company rose from $ 60,000 in the
month of August to $ 69,000 in the month of
September. The seasonal indices for these two
months are 105 and 140 respectively. The owner of
the company was not at all satisfied with the rise of
sales in the month of September by $ 9,000.
He expected much more because of the seasonal
index for that month.
What was his estimate of sales for the month of
September?
Paula Shoemaker produces a weekly stock market report for an exclusive readership. She normally sells 3,000 reports per week, and 70% of the time her sales range from 2,900 to 3,100. The report costs Paula $15 to produce, but Paula is able to sell reports for $350 each. Of course, any reports not sold by the end of the week have no value. How many reports should Paula produce each week? use inventory model for this study

The cost now is estimated to be $382 billion. The total cost of each plane would be $112.4 million, up 81% from the original $62 million.
