Customers arrive at a suburban ticket outlet at the rate of 14 per hour on Monday mornings. This can be described by a Poisson distribution. Selling the tickets and providing general information takes an average of 3 minutes per customer, and varies exponentially. There is 1 ticket agent on duty on Mondays. Determine each of the following:______________(A) system utilization.(B) average number in line.(C) average time in line.(D) average time in the system.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
When the arrival rate matches the distribution of Poisson, the rate of delivery varies exponentially as well as the server exists. The paradigm, therefore, is W/M/I, an exponential time interval concept, and one server.
Arrival rate [tex](\lambda) = 14\ per\ hour[/tex]
Service rate[tex]( \mu) =\frac{3\ minutes}{customer} = \frac{60 minutes (1 hour)}{3 minutes}= 20 \ \frac{customers}{hour}[/tex]
For point A:
System utilization[tex]=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}=\frac{14}{20}=0.7[/tex]
For point B:
Average number in line:
[tex](L_q )=\frac{\lambda^2}{\mu \times (\mu-\lambda)}\\\\=\frac{14^2}{20\times (20-14)}\\\\= 1.633[/tex]
For point C:
Average time in line:
[tex](W_q)=\frac{L_q}{\lambda}\\\\=\frac{1.633}{14} \ hours\\\\=\frac{1.633}{14} \times 60 \ minutes\\\\= 7\ minutes[/tex]
For point D:
Average time in the system:
[tex](W_s)=w_q+\frac{1}{\mu}\\\\=7\ minutes + \frac{1}{20} \ hours\\\\=7 \ minutes + \frac{60}{20} \ hours\\\\= 7 \ minutes + 3\ minutes\\\\= 10 \ minutes\\[/tex]
Common stock with a total par value of $50,000 (par value of $0.50 per share) have been issued, and 5,000 shares of treasury stock with a total cost of $25,000 have been repurchased. How many total shares are outstanding
Answer: 95000 shares
Explanation:
The total shares that are outstanding will be calculated as the difference between the total shares issued and the treasury Share purchased.
The number of shares issued will be calculated as:
= 50000/0.50
= 100000 Shares
Therefore, the total shares that are outstanding will be:
= 100000 shares - 5000 shares
= 95000 shares
Plethora Farms purchased a greenhouse for $52,700. Delivery costs totaled $1,825 and handling costs were $3,000. The useful life is 10 years and the salvage value is $14,050. Using the straight-line depreciation method, calculate the book value at the end of year 4. Group of answer choices $31,256 $58,000 $22,000 $40,135
Answer:
$40,135
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Cost of the asset =purchase cost + delivery cost + handling cost
$52,700 + $1,825 + $3,000 = $57,525
depreciation expense = ($57,525 - $14,050) / 10 = $4,347.50
book value at the end of year 4 = cost of the asset - accumulated depreciation
Accumulated depreciation = $4,347.50 x 4 = $17,390
Book value = $57,525 - $17,390 = $40,135

The accounts receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter was $107,000 ($78,100 of which was uncollected December sales)
Requried:
a. Compute the sales for November.
b. Compute the sales for December.
c. Compute the cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
Answer:
a. Sales for November = $192,666.67
b. Sales for December = $312,400,00
c. Total cash collections are as follows:
January = $200,580
February = $201,360
March = $191,750
Explanation:
a. Compute the sales for November.
Sales for November = (Accounts receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter - Uncollected sales from December) / Collection rate two months after the sale = ($107,000 - $78,100) / 15% = $192,666.67
b. Compute the sales for December.
Sales for December = Uncollected sales from December / (Collection rate one months after the sale + Collection rate two months after the sale) = $78,100 / (10% + 15%) = $312,400,00
c. Compute the cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
Note: See the attached excel file for the schedule of cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.

North Corp. EBIT is $200. It has a debt-equity ratio of 25% and a WACC of 16%. Debt interest is 12%. Without taxes, what is the value of the firm?
Answer:
Value of the firm = 25000
Explanation:
Use the below formula to find the value of firm.
Degree of Financial Leverage = EBIT / ( EBIT - Interest)
Degree of Financial Leverage = 0.25
0.25={200/ {200-Interests}
Interests amount = - 600
Interest amount = debt × Cost of Debts
Debt amount = Interest amount / Cost of Debt
Debt amount = - 600 / 0.12.
Debt amount = -5000
Now find the debt equity ratio:
Debt-equity ratio = debt / equity
Given Debt amount = 5000
0.25= 5000 / Equity
Equity =5 000 /0.25
The value of Equity = 20,000
Now, the value of the firm = Equity amount + Debt amount
The value of the firm = 20000 + 5000
The value of the firm = 25000
Determine whether each of the following statements is true, false or uncertain, and brieflyjustify your answer (a few sentences). No credit will be given for unsupported answers.1. The optimal tariff for a large open economy is 0.2. Multinational firms are important primarily in labor-intensive industries.3. Horizontal FDI is more likely to occur when trade costs are low but plant-level economiesof scale are high.4. For a small open economy, import tariffs and import quotas have identical effects onprices, welfare, and import levels.5. The median voter theory has been very successful at explaining actual trade policyoutcomes.
Answer:
1) False
2) Uncertain
3) False
4) False
5) True
Explanation:
1) Optimal tariff for a Large open economy is not zero ( 0 ) and this is because a large open economy has control over interest rates both domestically and in a larger scale, and its engaged in exports and imports trades with other economies of the world. hence its Optimal tariff should be > 0
2) The Importance of Multinational firms primarily in labor-intensive industries is Uncertain because Multinational firms can have a positive effect on labor by providing them with better wages and it can also affect labor negatively by laying off incompetent workers in the long run
3) Horizontal FDI is less likely to occur when the trade costs are low but plant-level economies of scale are high because lower trade costs will lead to a vertical FDI and not horizontal FDI
4) In an open economy the effects of import tariffs and import quotas does not have same effect on prices and import levels . reduction in import quota reduces import levels while increase in tariffs affects pricing of goods and services
5) True because increase in inequality and a country's endowment been held constant will raise trade barriers in a capital abundant economy and vice versa for less capital abundant economy .
If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts increases and the demand for strawberry licorice twists increases, this indicates that these two goods are _____ goods. Group of answer choices
Answer: substitute goods
Explanation:
Substitute goods refer to the goods that serves thesame purpose by the consumers. A common example is Coke and Pepsi.
For a substitute good, when the price of one of the goods increase, then there will be an increase in the demand of the other one as people will now but more of that good and lesser of its substitute that has a price increase.
In this case, when the price of chocolate-covered peanuts increases and the demand for strawberry licorice twists increases, then the goods are substitute goods.
what is the present value of $7500 per year, at a discounted rate of 7.1%, of the first payment is received 6 years from now and the last payment is received 25 years from now
Answer:
PV= $50,981.17
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the future value at the end of the period:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
FV= {7,500*[(1.071^19) - 1]} / 0.071
FV= $283,234.78
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
in this case n=25 years
PV= 283,234.78 / (1.071^25)
PV= $50,981.17
Construction Inc. contracts to buy some heavy equipment from Dig Machines Inc. Before either party performs, Dig sells its assets to Excavation Corporation.

Construction should a. buy the equipment from a different firm and bill Excavation for the price. b. demand an assurance of performance from the seller. c. buy the equipment from a different firm and bill the seller for the price. d. consider the contract repudiated and sue the seller for breach.
Answer:
Option b: Demand assurances of performance from the seller
Explanation:
Right of assurance
This is simply done if a party has reasonable grounds to believe that the other party will not hold their own part of the deal, he or she may ask in writing that the other party give adequate assurance of performance . It is stated that If the second party does not provide reasonable assurance as demanded within 30 days, this failure will lead to repudiation of the contract and can be regarded as an anticipatory breach.
The process for requesting adequate assurance is divided into three reasonable grounds;
1. Reasonable grounds for insecurity
2. Demand for adequate assurances of performance
3. Failure to provide adequate assurance is a Repudiation
Excavation can have some dig assets. That doees not mean they purchase all their asset and even if they do, they did not even purchase the whole company. As the company can produce more, construction conc. should or can place a request across to dig to give assurance of performance.
