Assume that each unit demanded generates $70 in revenue and that each unit ordered costs $50. How much will the company gain or lose in a month (in dollars) if it places an order based on your answer to part (a) and the actual demand for the item is 300 units

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

a. Let X is denoted as company’s monthly demand, P(X=x) is denoted as the probability of the company’s monthly demand.

The expected value is obtained below:

E(X) = (300*0.20) + (400*0.30) + (500*0.35) + (600*0.15)

E(X) = 60+120+175+90

E(X) = 445

b. The expected value of the monthly demand is 445. The each unit demands the revenue to generate is $70 and their cost is $50.

The gain/loss of the company = (300*(70−50)) - (145*50)

The gain/loss of the company = (300*20) - (145*50)

The gain/loss of the company = 6,000 - 7,250

The gain/loss of the company =−$1,250(Loss)

answer; the correct answer is (direct foreign investment);

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable

3 wants

things that you do not need to have in order to survive, but would like to have

needs

things that you must have in order to survive

goods

physical products

services

tasks that a business perform for customers

resources

items that people can use to make or obtain what they need or want

determine

to settle or decide by choice of alternatives or possiblities
