Umbrella Corp uses LIFO method to report inventory. Inventory at the beginning of the year consisted of 10,000 units of the company's one product for $15 each. During the year:

60,000 units were purchased at the cost of $18 each.

64,000 units were sold.

Near the end of the fiscal year, management is considering purchasing an additional 5,000 units at $18.

What would the effect of this purchase be on income before taxes?

Would the answer be the same if the company used FIFO instead of LIFO?

Given a normal distribution with µ = 47 and σ = 6, what is the probability that:

1. X < 39 or X > 44
2. X is between 37 and 46
3. 7% of the values are less than what X value.
4. Between what two X values (symmetrically distributed around the mean) are 70% of the values?

Part 1:

Complete the assignment by executing the following steps.

1. Generate a dataset of 300 random numbers that follows are normal distribution with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 10.
2. Use appropriate R command(s) to validate that an approximate mean = 200 and an approximate standard deviation = 10 was obtained.
3. Create a histogram depicting the data distribution for the 300 random numbers generated in step 1.
4. Create a histogram that superimposes a normal curve over the frequency distribution.
5. Summarize the results of steps 2 through 4. Are these results what you expected? Why or why not?
6. In a Word document, include screenshots that show the results of executing each command.

Benchmarking is the process of comparing and measuring an organization’s operations or its internal processes against those of a best-in-class performer from inside or outside its industry.

There are several obstacles to successful benchmarking. One of the most common obstacles is poor team composition. Imagine that you are the administrator for a large urgent care clinic in a metropolitan area. You are benchmarking the urgent care’s clinical operations and processes to improve quality of care and gain competitive edge in an increasingly competitive environment.

Who do you think should serve on your benchmarking committee and why (justify your choice of team members)?
