Consider a locus with two alleles - B and b. B is dominant, while b is recessive. There is no mutation. B has a selective advantage relative to b, so that the fitnesses of the three genotypes are BB = 1, Bb = 1, and bb = 1-s. In this case, s = 0.50, so that bb homozygotes have 50% fitness of heterozygotes and BB homozygotes. If the population has the following genotypic counts prior to selection of BB = 500, Bb = 250, and bb = 250, what is the expected change in the frequency of B after one generation with selection? Please give your answer to two decimal places.

J&L Packaging, Inc.: Cash-to-Cash Conversion Cycle Case Study
Jake and Lilly Gifford founded J&L Packaging, Inc. (J&LP) in 1995 after graduating from the University of Cincinnati. Jake earned a degree in robotics and mechanical engineering, while Lilly graduated with a degree in computer science. They met at the university while working on an information systems course project and married immediately after graduation. Their privately held firm manufactured cardboard packaging and boxes for computer devices such as personal computers, keyboards, replacement hard drives, servers, and so on. Many of their packages were high-end boxes with glossy finishes and the company’s logo on the box. Last year, J&L Packaging, Inc. sales were $106 million.
J&LP Packaging provided many services with their products, such as box and packaging design engineering and consulting, embossing and foil guidance, barcode advice, cartons that fold and collapse for easy storage, and a variety of colors and box strengths. In 2010, J&LP began to research the sustainability issues regarding boxes in the reverse logistics supply chain.Their research lead to a change in production technologies to accommodate up to 100 percent recycled fiber content and solar panels on the roofs of their two U.S. factories. They also hired an engineer to lead the company’s efforts to become a “Green Cycle”-certified manufacturer.
J&LP recently purchased and installed an ISOWA FALCON state-of-the-art, four-color, high-speed flexo box machine with an extensive zero defects quality control system. This box cutting and fabrication machine is manufactured in Kasugai, Japan, by the ISOWA Corporation (www.isowa.com). There are several videos of this automated machine in operation on YouTube,” for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v5XofTns666Aw.
J&LP’s financial information for last year follows. It is assumed the business operates 300 days per year. One note in J&LP financial statement states that the $4,906,000 of inventory does not include $886,000 in inventory allowances for excess, cancelled orders, and obsolete inventories. The note goes on to say, “Inventory management remains an area of focus as we balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive lead times versus the risk of inventory obsolescence because of changing technology and customer requirements. The box and packaging business is a dynamic industry that must quickly accommodate customer requirements, changes in forecasts, and new findings from research and development on product features and options.” The following data (in thousands of dollars $) is provided.

1. Should we consider services in the cash-to-cash conversion
cycle computations?
2. How will you handle the $886,000 in obsolete inventory?
3. What is the total cash-to-cash conversion cycle for J&L
Packaging, Inc. for last year?
4. What are your conclusions and final recommendations?
I do not want someone to simply answer the questions for me. I want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
Specifically, I would like help with question #3
The formula provided for cash-to-conversion is:
ARDS= Accounts receivable value/Revenue per day
APDS=Accounts payable value/Revenue per day
Revenue per day (R/D) =Total revenue/Operating days per year
Cash-to-cash conversion cycle =IDS+ARDS-APDS
Here's what I got:
Inventory days’ supply (IDS) =
Average total inventory/ Cost of goods sold per day=4,906+886=5792
Cost of goods sold per day (CGS/D) = 31,725/300 Days per year= 105.75
Cost of goods sold value/ Operating days per year
5792/105.75=54.77
IDS=54.77
IDS+ARDS= the firms receivable cycle is 80.08
ARDS= Accounts receivable value/ Revenue per day =7,593/300=25.31
APDS= Accounts payable value/ Revenue per day =9,338/300=31.13
APDS =31.13, which is how many days the firm has to pay back its bill.
Which means the firm receives it payments, “receivables” 48.95 days later.
Is this right? Help!
