Customers arrive at a bank teller machine at the rate one every three minutes. Each customer spends an average of two minutes at the teller machine. The arrival rate and the service rate are approximated by Poisson and negative exponential distributions respectively.
Determine the following:
a – utilization of the teller machine
b – average number of customers in line
c – average number of customers in the system
d – average time customers spend in line
e – average time customers spend in the system
f – probability of three customers in the system
g – probability of two or more customers in the system.
Answer:
Arrival rate
1 every 3 minutes
1 minute = 1/3 = 0.33
60 minutes = 0.33*60 = 19.8 = 20 per hour
λ = 20 per hour
Service Rate
1 every 2 minutes
1 minutes = 1/2 = 0.5
60 minutes = 0.5*60 = 30 per hour
µ = 30 per hour
a. Utilization of Teller Machine
P = λ / µ
P = 20/30
P = 66.67%
b. Average number of customers in line
Lq = pL = (λ/µ) (λ/µ- λ)
= (20 / 30) (20 / 30 - 20)
= 20/30 * 20 / 10
= 1.33 customers
c. Average number of customers in the system
L = (λ/µ- λ)
= 20 / 30 - 20
= 20 / 10
= 2 customers
d. Average time customer spends in line
Wq = λ/[µ*(µ- λ)]
= 20 / [30 * (30-20)]
= 20 / 30 * 10
= 0.06667 hours or 4 minutes
e. Average time customers spend in the system
W = 1/(µ- λ)
= 1 / 30 - 20
= 1/10
= 0.10 hours or 6 minutes
f. Probability that there are 3 customers in the system
Pn = (1-p)*p^n
= (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^3
= 0.3333 * 0.296296
= 0.09876
g. Probability that there are two or more customers in the system
= 1 - P(0) - P(1)
= 1 - (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^0 - (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^1
= 1 - 1/3 - 2/9
= 4/9
= 0.4444
A retail store has three departments, S, T, and U, and does general advertising that benefits all departments. Advertising expense totaled $48,000 for the year, and departmental sales were as follows. Allocate advertising expenses to Department T based on departmental sales. (Do not round the intermediate calculations.)
Department S $111,000
Department T 213,150
Department U 146,250
Total 470,400
Answer:
Allocated costs= $21,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Department S $111,000
Department T 213,150
Department U 146,250
Total 470,400
Advertising expense totaled $48,000 for the year.
First, we need to calculate the sales proportion for Department T:
Sales proportion= 213,150 / 470,400= 0.45
Now, we can allocate costs to Department T:
Allocated costs= 48,000*0.45
Allocated costs= $21,600

An issue of common stock currently sells for $52 per share, has an expected annual dividend to be paid at the end of the year of $0.90 per share, and has an expected growth rate to infinity of 5% per year. The expected rate of return on this security is:______
Answer: 6.73%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return will be calculated by using the formula:
Po= D1 / ( Ke – g )
Where,
Po = Current Price of the stock = $52
D1 = Expected dividend = $0.90
Ke = Expected rate of Return
g = Expected growth rate = 5% = 0.05
We'll then slot in the values into the equation. Therefore,
52.00 = 0.90 / (Ke – 0.05 )
(Ke – 0.05 ) = 0.90 / 52.00
(Ke – 0.05 ) = 0.01731
Ke = 0.05 + 0.01731
Ke = 0.06731
Ke = 6.73%
Therefore, the expected rate of return on this security is 6.73%.
A salt mine you inherited will pay you $25,000 per year for 25 years, with the first payment being made today. If you think a fair return on the mine is 7.5%, how much should you ask for it if you decide to sell it
Answer: $299574.17
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the information that a salt mine inherited will pay $25,000 per year for 25 years, with the first payment being made today. If the fair return on the mine is 7.5%, the amount that should be asked for it's to be sold goes thus:
Periodic amount = $25000
Return on mine = 7.5%
Number of years = 25
Selling amount will then be:
= 25000 + [-PV(7.50%,24,25000,0)]
= 25000 + [-PV(0.075,24,25000,0]
= $299574.17

Consider the following demand schedule: Price Quantity Demanded $25 20 $20 40 $15 60 $10 80 What is the price elasticity of demand between (using the arc formula) a) Price $25-$20 a) Price $20-$15 a) Price $15-$10
Answer:
3.05
1.38
0.725
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Arc elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands
Price $25-$20
change in quantity demanded = 40 - 20 = 20
average of both demands = (40 + 20) /2 = 30
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/30 = 0.67
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = $25 - $20 = $5
average of both price = ($25 + $20) / 2 = 22.5
Price $20-$15
change in quantity demanded = 60 - 40 = 20
average of both demands = (60 + 40) /2 = 50
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/50 = 0.4
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = $20 - $15 = $5
average of both price = ($15 + $20) / 2 = 17.5
midpoint change in price = 5 / 17.5 = 0.29
0.4/0.29 = 1.38
Price elasticity of demand = 0.67 / 0.22 = 3.05
change in quantity demanded = 80 - 60 = 20
average of both demands = (80 + 60) /2 = 70
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/70 = 0.29
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = $15 - $10 = $5
average of both price = ($15 + $10) / 2 = 12.5
5/12.5 = 0.4

The accounting equation is
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
But before that the ending equity should be determined
So,
Profit = Revenue - Expenses
= $222,000 - $171,000
= $51,000
Thus, equity at the end of the year is
= $157,000 + $51,000
= $208,000
Now Assets at the end of the year are,
Assets is
= $208,000 + $98,000
= $306,000

If firms expect prices to be higher in the future and the product is not perishable, then Multiple Choice the current supply curve shifts to the right. the current supply curve shifts to the left. none of the statements associated with this question are correct. producers produce more output to hold back for the future.
Answer:
the current supply curve shifts to the left.
Explanation:
A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
Thus, it's the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. The price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
One of the importance associated with the pricing of products is that, it improves the image of a business firm.
Hence, if firms expect prices of products to be higher or rise in the future and the product is not perishable i.e wouldn't get spoilt in a short time, then the current supply curve shifts to the left and as such only small quantity of the product would be supplied by the business firm.
An aggregate supply curve gives the relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output supplied in an economy at a specific period of time.
Aggregate supply (AS) refers to the total quantity of output (goods and services) that firms are willing to produce and sell at a given price in an economy at a particular period of time.
The relationships between inventory and throughput, and inventory and operating expense are defined as follows: As everyone is slowed down, the gap between the first and last hiker expands. As the gap expands, inventory drops. Operational expense is decreasing every time we hurry up because we are expending additional energy just to catch up. Group of answer choices True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Operational expense will instead increase when we hurry up because of the additional energy spent to catch up. The relationship between inventory and throughput is determined by time because throughput is the rate of change in inventory and is a product of Inventory divided by Time. This agrees with the inventory formula that states that throughput multiplied by time is equal to inventory.
Zubin Ltd. had set the transfer price at $40 for the purchase of goods from its U.S. subsidiary. But the IRS audited the transfer price and determined that it should have been using a transfer price of $190. Assuming the adjustment results in an increase in U.S. tax liability of $200,000. Determine the penalty amount.
Answer:
Zubin Ltd.
The Penalty amount is:
Minimum = $10,000
Maximum = $50,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Company set transfer price = $40
IRs determined transfer price = $190
Increase in U.S. tax liability = $200,000
IRS penalty rate = 5% minimum for each month of default and not exceeding 25% maximum
Therefore, the penalty amount:
Minimum = $10,000 (5% of $200,000)
Maximum = $50,000 (25% of $200,000)
A perfectly competitive firm, with MC=q operates in a market character,zed by the following market demand and supply conditions:
Demand: Q=20000-100P
Supply: Q=100P
How much output does this competitive firm produce to maximize profit? Show your work graphically and algebraically.
Answer: 10000 units
Explanation:
First, we've to determine the equilibrium price which will be gotten when we equate the demand to the supply which will be:
20000 - 100P = 100P
100P + 100P = 20000
200P = 20000
P = 20000/200
P = 100
Since Q = 100P
Q = 100 × 100
Q = 10000
The competitive firm will produce 10000 units to maximize profit.
When there is excess supply (surplus) what will happen?
Answer:

Demand is said to be __________ when the quantity demanded is not very responsive to changes in price. Group of answer choices unit elastic independent inelastic elastic
Answer:
Inelastic
Explanation:
Inelastic is the correct answer because elasticity is the magnitude that exhibits the responsiveness of demand for the commodity when there is a change in price. For example, if the price changes by 100% and due to the change in price, the change in quantity is only 10%. Then it can be deduced that the elasticity is inelastic because the percentage is lower than the percentage in price.

Fixed costs equal $16,000, unit contribution margin equals $35, and the number of units sold equal 1,300. Operating income is ________. Group of answer choices $16,000 $61,500 $45,500 $29,950
The answer to the question of the Operating Income is 61,500 Dollars. Taking into consideration the various fixed costs, contribution margin, and the number of units sold. Hence, option B is appropriate.
What are the fixed costs, operating income, and Contribution Margin?In general, investment securities that offer regular rate or dividend payments to investors until their expiration are referred to as having a fixed income. Government debt, municipal bonds, corporate debt, and asset-backed securities like mortgage-backed bonds are all included in the wide asset class known as "fixed costs." Because these investments offer a return in the shape of regular, fixed payments, they are known as "fixed costs" assets.
Operating income, or EBIT, is a measure of a company's profit used in accounting and finance. EBIT excludes interest payments and taxation expenses. Operating income is the adjusted revenues of a business after all operating costs and depreciation have been taken into account. The charges incurred to maintain the operation of the business are known as operating expenses.
Selling price per unit less variable cost per unit equals contribution margin, often known as dollar contribution per unit. The portion of total sales alluded to as "Contribution" is that which is used to pay fixed costs rather than variable costs. Hence, option B is correct.

In 2010,Chesley Inc. acquired Corrigan Ltd. in a hostile takeover. However, the expected synergies never materialized. In 2013, Chesley decided to write-off $45 million of Goodwill on the financial statements to recognize that the Goodwill had become impaired.Which of the following items would be decreased by the impairment of Goodwill?
a- Total Assetsb- Net Incomec- Cash from Operating Activitiesd- Cash from Financing Activitiese- Cash from Investing Activities
Answer:
a- Total Assets
Explanation:
Impairment write downs are not cash related events but an accounting entry made to reduce the carrying amount when Carrying Amount of an Asset is found to be greater than the Recoverable Value of the Asset.
Carrying Amount of an Asset is Cost less Accumulated depreciation of an asset. While the Recoverable Value of the Asset is the higher of Fair Value and Value in use of an asset.
Therefore, only Total Assets decrease as a result of impairment of Goodwill.
