Bev's Bakery specializes in sourdough bread. Early each morning, Bev must decide how many loaves to bake for the day. Each loaf costs $0.75 to make and sells for $2.85. Bread left over at the end of the day can be sold the next day for $1.00. Past data indicate the demand is distributed as follows:- No. of Loaves Probability

15 0.05

16 0.05

17 0.10

18 0.10

19 0.20

20 0.35

21 0.10

22 0.05

Construct a payoff table and determine the optimal quantity for Bev to bake each morning using expected values.
What is the optimal quantify for Bev to bake if the unsold loaves cannot be sold to the day-old store at the end of the day (i. e., unsold loaves are a total lost)?

the answer is simply just 6n add the two together as they have an n

your answer would be 12

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

2 x 503
