- Stock Turnover at Retail In retail sales, an important marker of retail activity is the stock turnover at retail. This figure is calculated for a specific period of time as the total net sales divided by the retail value of the average stock during that time, where both are measured in dollars. As a formula, this is written Stockturnover=NetsalesAveragestockatretail. This formula expresses stock turnover as a function of net sales and average stock at retail. a. Suppose that your store had net sales of 682, 000 in mens shoes over the past six months and that the retail value of the average stock of mens shoes was 163, 000. What was the stock turnover at retail for that time period? b. Suppose that in a certain month, your stores net sales of womens dresses were 83, 000 and that the usual stock turnover at retail is 0.8 per month. What do you estimate to be your stores average stock at retail? c. Solve the equation for average stock at retail- that is, write a formula giving average stock at retail as a function of stock turnover and net sales. d. Suppose that in a certain time period, your store had an average stock of socks with a retail value of 45, 000 and a stock turnover at retail of 1.6. What were the stores net sales of socks during that time period? e. Solve the equation for net sales- that is, write a formula giving net sales as a function of stock turnover and average stock at retail.arrow_forwardHeart Disease In a certain country, the number of deaths due to heart disease decreased from 235 in one year to 221 in the next year.

- Speed of Sound in the North Atlantic The speed of sound in ocean water is 1148.94meterspersecond, provided that the ocean water has a salinity of 35 35partsperthousand, the temperature it 0degreesCelsius, and the measurement is taken at the surface. If any one of these three factors varies, the speed of sound also changes. Different oceans often differ in salinity. In the North Atlantic Central Water the main body of water for the northern half of the Atlantic Ocean, the salinity can be determined from the temperature, so the speed of sound depends only on temperature and depth. A simplified polynomial formula for velocity in this body of water is V=1447.733+4.7713T0.05435T2+0.0002374T3+0.0163D+1.675107D27.1391013TD3 Here V is the speed of sound in meters per second, T is the water temperature in degrees Celsius, and D is depth in meters. This formula is valid for depths up to 8000 meters and for temperatures between 0 and 30 degrees Celsius. a. What type of polynomial is V as a function of T alone? Of D alone? b. For a fixed depth of 1000meters, write the formula for V in terms of T alone. c. Graph V as a function of T for the fixed depth of 1000meters. d. What is the concavity of the graph from part c? What does this imply about the speed of sound at that depth as temperature increases?arrow_forwardThe Kelvin Temperature Scale Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. In order to determine the relationship between the Fahrenheit and Kelvin temperature scales, a lab assistant put Fahrenheit and Kelvin thermometers side by side and took readings at various temperatures. The following data were recorded. K = kelvins F = degrees Fahrenheit 200 -99.67 220 -63.67 240 -27.67 260 8.33 280 44.33 300 80.33 a. Show that the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of the temperature K in kelvins. b. What is the slope of this linear function? Note: Be sure to take into account that the table lists kelvins in jumps of 20 rather than in jumps of 1. c. Find a formula for the linear function. d. Normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is that temperature in kelvins? e. If temperature increases by 1 kelvin, by how many degrees Fahrenheit does it increase? If temperature increases by 1 degree Fahrenheit, by how many kelvins does it increase? f. The temperature of 0 kelvins is known as absolute zero. It is not quite accurate to say that all molecular motion ceases at absolute zero, but at that temperature the system has its minimum possible total energy. It is thought that absolute zero cannot be attained experimentally, although temperatures lower than 0.0000001 kelvin have been attained. Find the temperature of absolute zero in degrees Fahrenheit.arrow_forward
