An airport magazine store has to determine the appropriate number of copies of a weekly magazine to order. Depending on the cover story, demand for the magazine varies. Historical records suggest that the probability distributions of weekly demand is as follows: Number of magazines 70 75 80 85
Probability 0.35 0.25 0.20 0.20
The store purchases the magazines for $1.25 and sells them for $2.50. Any copies left over at the end of the week are donated to local charity. Let D be the weekly demand and Q be the order size.
If D > Q, then the store has sold all that was purchased and realized a net profit of $ 2.50 Q – 1.25 Q.
If D < Q, then the store has (Q-D) copies left over. D copies are sold at $2.50 and the remainder is donated. Thus, the net profit is $ 2.50 D – 1.25 Q.
To demonstrate the simulation process, develop 3 simulation runs, using random numbers (RN) given in the following table. These random numbers have been drawn randomly from a bag containing numbers from 00 to 99. For each order quantity Q (70, 75, 80, and 85), compute the weekly profit for the 3 runs and then compute the average profit for each order size to determine the best order size.
Run # RN D Profit
Q= 70 Q = 75 Q = 80 Q = 85

2 12
3 77

Which of the following statements is correct? large corporations are taxed more favorably than sole proprietorships. corporate stockholders are exposed to unlimited liability. due to limited liability, unlimited lives, and ease of ownership transfer, the vast majority of u.s. businesses (in terms of number of businesses) are organized as corporations. most businesses (by number and total dollar sales) are organized as partnerships or proprietorships because it is easier to set up and operate in one of these forms rather than as a corporation. however, if the business gets very large, it becomes advantageous to convert to a corporation, mainly because corporations have important tax advantages over proprietorships and partnerships. most business (measured by dollar sales) is conducted by corporations in spite of large corporations’ often less favorable tax treatment, due to legal considerations related to ownership transfers and limited liability.
