The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure very fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals.
This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $4 a box. The lettuce is sold for $10 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $1.50 a box. Past history says that tomorrow’s demand for lettuce averages 250 boxes, with a standard deviation of 34 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow?

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardA company is planning to purchase 10,000 units of a particular item in the year ahead. The item is purchased in boxes each containing 10 units of the item, at a price of €400 per box. The cost of holding an item in inventory for a year (including insurance, interest and space costs) is 10% of the purchase price. The cost of placing and receiving orders is to be estimated from cost data collected relating to similar orders, where costs of €7,000 were incurred on 25 orders. It should be assumed that ordering costs change in proportion to the number of orders placed. 5% should be added to the above ordering costs to allow for inflation. Assume that usage of the item will be even over the year. Required: (a) Calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ) in boxes which minimises total costs (b) Outline when and why it is appropriate to use economic batch quantity (EBQ)arrow_forwardCan you explain to me why my teacher said that the answer in here can't be determined?

The vendor’s price list indicates that 20 percent off list price is for purchasing bikes in quantities of 100 or more, 15 percent off list price is for assembling the bikes for customers, and 15 percent is for sales promotion and local advertising. If the manufacturer’s list price is $550, what should Bernie pay for each bike if he orders 110 bikes at a time, assembles the bikes, and displays and advertises them?arrow_forwardLarissa Warren, the owner of East Coast Yachts, has been in discussions with a yacht dealer in Monaco about selling the company’s yachts in Europe. Jarek Jachowicz, the dealer, wants to add East Coast Yachts to his current retail line. Jarek has told Larissa that he feels the retail sales will be approximately €8 million per month. All sales will be made in euros, and Jarek will retain 5 percent of the retail sales as commission, which will be paid in euros. Because the yachts will be customized to order, the first sales will take place in one month. Jarek will pay East Coast Yachts for the order 90 days after it is filled. This payment schedule will continue for the length of the contract between the two companies. Larissa is confident the company can handle the extra volume with its existing facilities, but she is unsure about any potential financial risks of selling yachts in Europe. In her discussion with Jarek, she found that the current exchange rate is $1.34/€. At this exchange…arrow_forward

They tell you that for every day after the Spider Cider beverage is produced the company incurs a $3,650 fee to keep the unbottled beverage in vats, at 17.00°C, and the postponement of sales in stores. If Witch's Brew wants to make a minimum profit of $50,000, how much will each Spider Cider drink need to cost after choosing the bid with the lowest overall unit cost? (Hint: think of ALL the costs associated with the final beverage.)

Barbara sells the baskets for $ 29 each, and her variable costs are $ 19 per basket. She incurs $ 12,500 in fixed costs each year. Last year, Barbara sold 4,000 baskets, and she believes that demand this year will be stable at 4,000 baskets. The following are the actions Barbara could take if she wants to earn $ 30,900 in operating income by selling only 4,000 baskets. Consider each action independently.
