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:

Thus, difference in gross profit = $144 + $144 = $288

Profit as per FIFO is higher than profit as per LIFO

Explanation:

In the given case, as per both the methods computation shall be as follows:

Date                    Quantity                   Rate              Amount

Mar 1                     22 units                   $29                 $638

Jun 16                   31 units                    $30                 $930

Nov 28                 41 units                     $37                 $1,517

Total                     94 units                                           $3,085

Closing units = 18

That means sales = 94 - 18 = 76 units

Thus as per LIFO cost = 41 units @ $37 + 31 units @ $30 + 4 units @ $29

= $2,563

Closing stock = 18 units @ $29 = $522

As per FIFO cost = 22 units @ $29 + 31 units @ $30 + 23 units @ $37 = $2,419

Closing stock = 18 units @ $37 = $666

Thus, difference of closing stock = $666 - $522 = $144

Profit as per FIFO is higher by $144

Cost is higher in LIFO by $2,563 - $2,419 = $144

Thus, difference in gross profit = $144 + $144 = $288
