The waiting time at which 10 percent of the people would continue to hold is given as 2.3

<h3>How to solve for the waiting time</h3>

We have to solve for X ~ Exponential(λ).

then E(X) = 1/λ = 3,

= 0.3333

Remember that the cumulative distribution function of X is F(x) = 1 - e^(-λx). ;  x is equal to the  time in over case

For 10 percent of the people we would have a probability of

10/100 = 0.1

we are to find

P(X ≤ t)

= 1 - e^(0.3333)(t) = 0.1

Our concern is the value of t

Then we take the like terms

1-0.1 = e^(0.3333)(t)

1/0.9 = e^(0.3333)(t)

t = 3 * ln(1/0.9)

= 0.3157

Answer:

1. Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000

2. Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000

3. Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000

Explanation:

1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales

First step is to find the Contribution margin ratio

Using this formula

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

Contribution margin ratio:

Total company: ($240,000/$600,000)=0.4

North : ($120,000/$400,000)=0.4

South : ($120,000/$200,000)=0.6

Now let compute the Company wide break-even point in dollar sales using this formula

Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio

Let plug in the formula

Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= ($120,000 + $50,000) / 0.4

Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000

2. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region using this formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for North region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Let plug in the formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $60,000 / 0.3

Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000

3. . Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.

Using this formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Let plug in the formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $60,000 / 0.6

Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000

s) A system has four processes and five types of allocatable resources. The current allocation and maximum needs are as follows:
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The smallest value of x is 5 which leads to a safe state.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Process Available Maximum Request = Max-Available

A         [2 ,1 ,0 ,2, 2] [4, 2,2, 3, 3]          [2,1,2,1,1]

B         [3 ,1, 1, 0 ,2] [3 ,3 ,6 ,1 ,2]          [0,2,5,1,0]

C         [2 ,1 ,0 ,2 ,1 ] [3 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,1]          [1,1,3,1,0]

D         [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ]          [0,1,3,1,1]

Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.

Now

consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3

It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2

Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3

It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3

Thus

consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3

It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5

Then

consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3

It can satisfy A,B,C,D

Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.
