Answer:

Unlimited

Explanation:

GIven that:

You short-sell 200 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co

now selling for $50 per share.

If a short-sell occurs on a trade, the lower the share price, the higher the profit your are liable to achieve but if short-sell occurs and the share price is higher, then the more loss you're going to accumulate.

From the question, the lowest possible share price is zero and the highest possible share price is infinity since there is no stop loss.

∴

The maximum possible loss = 200 × 50( 1 - infinity share price)

= Unlimited loss

Compute the inventory turnover for 2018

3.6 times

Compute the net margin for 2017.

24.58%

Explanation:

Compute the accounts receivable turnover for 2018.

accounts receivable turnover = Sales / Accounts receivable

= $ 2,400,000 / $ 560,000

= 4.29 times

Compute the inventory turnover for 2018

Inventory turnover = cost of Sales / inventory

= $1,800,000 / $ 500,000

= 3.6 times

Compute the net margin for 2017.

net margin = Net Profit / Sales × 100

= (2,400,000-1,810,000) / 2,400,000 × 100

= 24.58%

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$7,580

Explanation:

In April of this year, Tim paid $1,160 with his state income tax return for the previous year.

Tim had $5,200 of state income tax

Tim made estimated payments of $1,220 of state tax.

Therefore:

$1,160 + $5,200 +$1,220=$7,580

Tim can deduct the state taxes paid with state income tax return for the previous year, state tax which was withheld during the year, and estimated payments of state tax, a total of $7,580 in which the expected refund next year will not affect the deductions for this year, due to the fact that it may be taxable next year under the tax benefit rule.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A) Single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

$\lambda=2.5 \,customers/hour\\\\\mu=6\,customers/hour$

B) The goal is not met, as the average time waiting for service is 5.56 minutes.

C) The new mean service rate is 7.5 customers/hour.

In this case, the average time waiting for service is 4 minutes, so the goal is met.

Explanation:

A) This situation can be modeled as a single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

The mean arrival rate is 2.5 customers per hour.

$\lambda=2.5 \,customer/h$

The mean service rate is 6 customers per hour, calculated as:

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{10 \,min/customer}=6\, customer/h$

B) The average waiting time for a customer can be expressed as:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{6}\frac{1}{6-2.5} =0.417*0.222=0.093\,hours\\\\W_q=0.093\,hours*(60min/h)=5.56 \,min$

The average waiting time is 5.56 minutes, so it is more than the goal of 5 minutes.

C) If the average time spent per customer to 8 minutes, the mean service rate becomes

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{8 \,min/customer}=7.5\, customer/h$

An the average waiting time for the service now becomes:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{7.5}\frac{1}{7.5-2.5} =0.333*0.2=0.067\,hours\\\\W_q=0.067\,hours*(60min/h)=4 \,min$

The average time is now 4 minutes, so the goal is achieved.
