The annual demand for a product is 16,400 units. The weekly demand is 315 units with a standard deviation of 90 units. The cost to place an order is $31.00, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.20 per unit.
a. Find the reorder point necessary to provide a 95 percent service probability.
b. Suppose the production manager is asked to reduce the safety stock of this item by 55 percent. If she does so, what will the new service probability be?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The reorder point necessary to provide a 95 percent service probability is 1557 units.

b) The Z value of 0.74 corresponds to 77% service probability.

Step-by-step explanation:  

Average weekly demand (d) = 315 units  

The standard deviation of weekly demand (\sigmad) = 90 units  

Lead time (L) = 4 weeks  

At 95% service level value of Z = 1.65  

Reorder point = d x L + safety stock  

[tex]= d \times L + (Z \times \sigma d \times \sqrt L)\\\\= 315 x 4 + (1.65 x 90 x \sqrt 4)\\\\= 1260 +(1.65 x 90 x 2)\\\\= 1260 + 297\\\\= 1557 units[/tex]

b) Earlier the safety stock was 297 units(calculated in part a)

Now the safety stock is reduced to 55%.so,55% of 297 = 163.35 units  

So the new safety stock = 297 - 163.35 = 133.65  

[tex]Safety stock = Z \times \sigma d \times \sqrt L\\133.65 = Z x 90 x 2\\133.65 = 180Z\\ Z = 133.65/180\\Z = 0.74[/tex]  

The Z value of 0.74 corresponds to 77% service probability.

alvin is 5 years older than elga. the sum of their age is 85. what is elga age

Answers

Answer:

40 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let Elga's age equal [tex]x[/tex]. Alvin's age can be equal to [tex]y[/tex]. We can make several equations from the information we know. We know that Elga's age plus five equal's Alvin's age.

[tex]x+5=y[/tex]

We also know that the sum of their ages is 85.

[tex]x+y=85[/tex]

We can substitute [tex]x+5[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex] in the second equation since [tex]x+5=y[/tex], so we have the following equation:

[tex]x+(x+5)=85[/tex]

We can combine like terms to get

[tex]2x+5=85[/tex]

Subtracting 5 from both sides results in

[tex]2x=80[/tex]

After that, we can divide both sides by 2 to get

[tex]x=40[/tex]

Thus, Elga is 40 years old.

Answer:

e = 40

a=45

Step-by-step explanation:

a + e = 85

a = e+5

e + 5 + e = 85

2e = 80

e = 40

a=45

Two cyclists, 68 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 miles per hour faster than the other, and they meet after 4 hours of riding.

a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem.

Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist. b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists? _______________

Answers

Answer:

4r + 4(r + 3) = 68

r = 7 miles per hour

r + 3 = 10 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate * time

a)

4r + 4(r + 3) = 68

Distribute

4r + 4r + 12 = 68

8r + 12 = 68

8r = 56

r = 7 miles per hour

r + 3 = 10 miles per hour

Find the angle between the vectors ????=????+???? and ????=−????+????. (Give an exact answer. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)

Answers

Answer:

The angle between them is 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 2i + j -3k[/tex]

[tex]b = 3i - 2j -k[/tex]

Required

The angle between them

The cosine of the angle between them is:

[tex]\cos(\theta) = \frac{a\cdot b}{|a|\cdot |b|}[/tex]

First, calculate a.b

[tex]a \cdot b =(2i + j -3k) \cdot (3i - 2j -k)[/tex]

Multiply the coefficients of like terms

[tex]a \cdot b =2 * 3 - 1 * 2 - 3 * -1[/tex]

[tex]a \cdot b =7[/tex]

Next, calculate |a| and |b|

[tex]|a| = \sqrt{2^2 + 1^2 + (-3)^2[/tex]

[tex]|a| = \sqrt{14[/tex]

[tex]|b| = \sqrt{3^2 + (-2)^2 + (-1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]|b| = \sqrt{14}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\cos(\theta) = \frac{a\cdot b}{|a|\cdot |b|}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\cos(\theta) = \frac{7}{\sqrt{14} * \sqrt{14}}[/tex]

[tex]\cos(\theta) = \frac{7}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\cos(\theta) = 0.5[/tex]

Take arccos of both sides

[tex]\theta =\cos^{-1}(0.5)[/tex]

[tex]\theta =60^o[/tex]

An arch is in the form of a parabola given by the function h = -0.06d^2 + 120, where the origin is at ground level, d meters is the horizontal distance and h is the height of the arch in meters.
Graph this function on your graphing calculator then complete the following statements.
The height of the arch is: ------- m
The width to the nearest meter, at the base of the arch is ------ m

Answers

Answer:

See attachment for graph

The height of the arch is: 120 m

The width to the nearest meter, at the base of the arch is 22 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]h = -0.06d^2 + 120[/tex]

Solving (a): The graph

See attachment for graph

Variable h is plotted on the vertical axis while variable d is plotted on the horizontal axis.

Solving (b): The height

The curve of [tex]h = -0.06d^2 + 120[/tex] opens downward. So, the maximum point on the vertical axis represents the height of the arch,

Hence:

[tex]height = 120[/tex]

Solving (c): The width

The curve touches the horizontal axis at two different points.

[tex]x_1 = -11[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 11[/tex]

The absolute difference of both points represents the width.

So:

[tex]Width = |x_2 - x_1|[/tex]

[tex]Width = |11 - -11|[/tex]

[tex]Width = |11 +11|[/tex]

[tex]Width = |22|[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]Width = 22[/tex]

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 283. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults. There are half as many adults as there are children. If the total ticket sales was $ 2060 on a sold out night, how many children, students, and adults attended

Answers

Answer: adults = 79

children = 158

student = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adults

Let c = children

Let s = student

From the information given,

a + c + s = 283 ....... i

c/a = 2, c = 2a ....... ii

5c + 7s + 12a = 2060 ...... iii

Put the value of c = 2a into equation i

a + c + s = 283

a + 2a + s = 283

3a + s = 283

s = 283 - 3a

Note that c = 2a

From equation iii

5c + 7s + 12a = 2060

5(2a) + 7(283 - 3a) + 12a = 2060

10a + 1981 - 21a + 12a = 2060

10a + 12a - 21a = 2060 - 1981

a = 79

Note c = 2a

c = 2 × 79 = 158

Since a + c + s = 283

79 + 158 + s = 283

s = 283 - 237

s = 46

adults = 79

children = 158

student = 46

Johnny tripled his baseball card collection. Then he added 6 more cards to the collection. Now he has 24 cards. How many cards did he start with?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backward.

If he has 24 after adding 6, he had 18 before that addition.

If he had 18 after tripling his collection, he had 18/3 = 6 cards to start with.

__

Note that this is the same process you would use if you started with an equation.

  3c +6 = 24 . . . . where c is the number of cards Johnny started with

  3c = 24 -6 = 18 . . . . . subtract 6 from the final number

  c = 18/3 = 6 . . . . . . . . divide the tripled value by 3 to see the original value

Johnny started with 6 cards.

Coliform bacteria are randomly distributed in a river at an average concentration of 1 per 20cc of water. What is the variance of the number of Coliform bacteria in a sample of 40cc of water

The variance

This is calculated using:

So, we have:

[tex]Var = 40 * \frac{1}{20} * (1 - \frac{1}{20})[/tex]

[tex]Var = 40 * \frac{1}{20} * \frac{19}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Var = 2 * \frac{19}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Var = \frac{38}{20}[/tex]

4x + 6x + 4 - 4 = 180

10x = 180

x = 180 / 10

x = 18

Answer:

x=18 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are supplementary angles, then their sum = 180 degree

4x+4 + 6x-4 =180

4x+6x + 4-4 = 180

10x = 180

x=180/10

what are the coordinates of the point that is 1/6 of the way from a(14 -1) to b(-4 23)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (11, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

That point is ...

  P = a + (1/6)(b -a) = (5a +b)/6

  P = (5(14, -1) +(-4, 23))/6 = (70-4, -5+23)/6 = (11, 3)

The point of interest is (11, 3).

Answer:

The coordinates of the point that is 1/6 of the way from a to b is thus (11, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look first at the x coordinates of the two given points:  14 and -4.  From 14 to -4 is a decrease of 18.  Similarly, from y = -1 to y = 23 is an increase of 24.

Starting at a(14, -1) and adding 1/6 of the change in x, which is -18, we get the new x-coordinate 14 + (1/6)(-18), or 14 - 3, or 11.  Similarly, adding 1/6 of the increase in y of 24 yields -1 + 4, or 3.

The coordinates of the point that is 1/6 of the way from a to b is thus (11, 3)
