Sam and Amanda moved from Hawaii to Iowa. Their grocery budget has remained at $100 per month, but the price of their groceries

Information Provided:

Yearly Demand (D) = 200,000 × 12 = 2,400,000 units

Ordering Cost (S) = $500 each order

Carrying Cost (H) = 20% of the Unit Price = $10 × 20% = $2

Cost per Unit = $10

Calculations:

1) Optimal Order Quantity =

Optimal Order Quantity =

2)

Annual Holding Expense = (34,641 / 2) × 2

Annual Holding Expense = $34,641

3) Orders Each Year = Yearly Demand / Optimal Order Quantity

Orders Each Year = 2,400,000 / 34,641

Orders Each Year = 69.2820646

Orders Each Year = 69 (Approximately)

4) Yearly Transportation Variable Cost = Cost per Unit × Yearly Demand

Yearly Transportation Variable Cost = $0.10 × 2,400,000

Yearly Transportation Variable Cost = $240,000

5) Yearly Clerical Expense = Orders Each Year × Cost Each Order

Yearly Clerical Expense = 69.282 × $500

Yearly Clerical Expense = $34,641

Answer:

(b) macaroni is categorized as an inferior good, and the price elasticity of supply is zero.

Explanation:

An increase in income by 10 percent results in a 15% reduction in the demand for macaroni and cheese without any change in price. This suggests that macaroni is indeed an inferior good with zero price elasticity of supply.

Inferior goods experience lower demand as incomes rise, supported by the observation that ‘’A 10 percent increase in income leads to a 15% decrease in the quantity of macaroni demanded’’.

In terms of price elasticity of supply, a value of zero indicates that the supply amount remains unchanged regardless of price fluctuations: the supply is "fixed". The original scenario states there was ''no change in the price of macaroni,'' indicating that the elasticity of supply in this situation is zero.

Since the expected value for not suing is greater ($600,000), Jay should refrain from taking legal action. The expected value if he were to sue under the best-case scenario is only $500,000, while the worst-case scenario would yield an expected value of -$37,500. Explanation: if he opts not to sue = expected value is $600,000; if he decides to sue: 50% chance of winning expected value for suing = $2,000,000 x 50% x 50% = $500,000; $500,000 x 50% x 50% = $125,000; 50% chance of losing resulting in an expected value of -$75,000 x 50% = -$37,500.

Answer:

24L^- 1/2

Explanation:

We have the information that

The marginal labor product is expressed as:

MPL = 24L^- 1/2

As the question does not specify the power sign, we assumed it

The unit price for green chalk is $1

The hourly wage is $12

Considering all of the above data, the labor's revenue product would be

= 24L^- 1/2

= Price of green chalk × 24L^- 1/2

= $1 × 24L^- 1/2

= 24L^- 1/2

The central limit theorem indicates that as the size of a sample increases, the distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution, irrespective of the population’s original shape. Typically, this is valid when the population size, denoted as n, is 30 or more (which means greater than 29). The population’s skewness or normality is not a factor in this scenario. Therefore, with a sufficiently large group, the mean results from sampling will equal the population mean.
