Flextrola, Inc., an electronics systems integrator, is planning to design a key component for their next generation product with Solectrics. Flextrola will integrate the component with some software and then sell it to consumers. Given the short life cycles of such products and the long lead times quoted by Solectrics, Flextrola only has one opportunity to place an order with Solectrics prior to the beginning of its selling season. Flextrola’s demand during the season is normally distributed with a mean of 900 and a standard deviation of 700.Solectrics’ production cost for the component is $52 per unit, and it plans to sell the component for $70 per unit to Flextrola. Flextrola incurs essentially no cost associated with the software integration and handling of each unit. Flextrola sells these units to consumers for $124 each. Flextrola can sell unsold inventory at the end of the season in a secondary electronics market for $46 each. The existing contract specifies that once Flextrola places the order, no changes are allowed to it. Also, Solectrics does not accept any returns of unsold inventory, so Flextrola must dispose of excess inventory in the secondary market. If a part of the question specifies whether to use Table 13.4, or to use Excel, then credit for a correct answer will depend on using the specified method. a. What is the probability that Flextrola’s demand will be within 25% of its forecast? Use Excel (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) b. What is the probability that Flextrola’s demand will be more than 40% greater than Flextrola’s forecast? Use Excel. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)c. Under this contract, how many units should Flextrola order to maximize its expected profit? Use Table 13.4. d. If Flextrola orders 1200 units, how many units of inventory can Flextrola’s expect to sell in the secondary electronics market? Use Table 13.4. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) e. If Flextrola orders 1200 units, what is expected sales? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) f. If Flextrola orders 1200 units, what is expected profit? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Peninsula products has just applied for a loan at your bank. when reviewing peninsula's books for the year that just ended, you notice that the firm uses the fair value option for its bonds payable. you also see that the firm recorded a $55,000 debit in its bonds payable account and a $55,000 credit in its unrealized holding gain or loss"income account. over that same period, interest rates decreased by about 0.5 percent. how should this information affect the bank's decision as to whether to grant peninsula a loan? a : the bank should strongly consider giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen an increase in its credit rating over the past year. b : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely the result of the rise in interest rates. c : the bank should hesitate before giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen a decline in its credit rating over the past year. d : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely unrelated to either interest rates or the firm's credit rating.
