Answer:
<u><em>Part 1. </em></u>
- <em>Average cost per day of a three-day pass</em> = $53.33/day per person
- <em>Marginal cost of adding the third day </em>= $190 - $160 = $30 per person
<em />
<em><u>Part 2.</u></em>
- <em>Group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em> = $180
Explanation:
The total <em>cost</em> is the <em>admission charge</em> ($60) plust the cost of the pass ($100 or $130).
For a <em>two-day pass</em> that is: $60 + $100 = $160, per person
For a <em>three-day pass</em> that is: $60 + $130 = $190, per person
<u><em>Part 1. The average cost per day of a three-day pass per person. </em></u>
The <em>average cost</em> is the total cost divided by the number of days.
- <em>Average cost</em> = $160/3days = $53.33/day per person
The <em>marginal cost of adding the third day</em> per person is found by subtracting the total cost for two days from the total cost for three days:
- <em>Marginal cost of adding the third day</em> = $190 - $160 = $30 per person
This says that althoud the average cost for the three days is $53.33 the cost of adding the third day is $30, which is much lower; thus, it is a good deal to buy a three-days pass, as they are interested in spending a lot of time there.
<u><em>Part 2. The group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em></u>
<em></em>
Since the <em>marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em> is $30 per person, the marginal cost for the 6-person group is 6 times $30:
- 6 persons × $30/person = $180.
Answer:
They would need to have at least 3 computers
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Arrival rate = 15 persons per hour
Servicing rate = 60 / 10 = 6 persons per hour with one computer
Servicing rate with x number of computers = 6x per hour
Servicing rate at 90% utilisation = 6x (0.90) = 5.40x per hour
Therefore to service 13 arrivals per hour, we will need x computers = 15/ 5.40 = 2.78
With 2 computers, the service capacity will be 12 per hour and the utilisation will be 15/12 = 125%, which exceeds the organiser’s standard of 90% utilization.
With 3 computers, the service capacity increases to 18 persons per hour. If only 13 persons arrive, the utilisation rate will be 15 / 18 = 83.33%, below the required maximum of 90% utilisation.
Therefore, the 2.78 can be rounded off to next whole number 3 computers
Oh, my god look at a back. well done
