John Little is known for his queueing theory which is basically a theory on the probability of a customer waiting in the same line. This is applicable in every establishment that does first come, first serve basis. The probability of a person staying in line, and not changing to other lines, is expressed by the so-called Little law. It states that the average number of customers in the waiting line is equal to the average effective arrival ate multiplied with the average time that the customer spends in the waiting line. This law is very useful and valid because it does not count into factors the miscellaneous things like process distribution, service distribution, service order, etc.

A year ago, Phyllis Peterson purchased 100 shares of Fidelity's Contrafund for $50 each. During the year, her total return from

Y_Kistochka [10]

Phyllis' RATE (percentage) of return is 7 percent

<u>Explanation:</u>

Data provided in the question:

Purchase price for each share = $50

Dividend received = $1 per share

worth of shares at the end of year = $52.50

Thus, total return on the share = dividend received plus worth of sahres at the end of year minus purchase price

= $1 plus $52.50 minus $50 = $3.5

Therfore, rate of return = [ total return on the shares by purchase price ] into 100%

= [$3.5 by $50] inot 100 percent

= 7 percent

hence, the option with 7 percent will be the correct answer.

storchak [24]

Answer:

The price of the stock today is $24

Explanation:

The price of the stock can be calculated using the dividend discount model. The price of the stock will include discounting back future dividends.

P0 = D0*(1+g) / 1+r + [D*(1+g) / r-g] / 1+r

P0 = 1.2*(1+0) / 1+0.09 + [1.2(1+0.04) / 0.09-0.04] / 1+0.09

P0 = $24

A customer has purchased 1,000 shares of ABC stock at $44 per share, paying a commission of $1.00 per share for the transaction.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

D) 1,200 shares held at a cost basis of $37.50 per share

Explanation:

Since the company paid a stock dividend, it increased the number of stocks held by the stockholders. The investor initially had 1,000 shares plus a 20% dividend = 1,000 x 1.2 = 1,200 shares. Since each stock should theoretically be worth less, his/her basis should decrease. The basis for each stock was $44(price) + $1(commission) = $45, after the dividend is paid it will be adjusted to $45 / 1.2 = $37.50 per stock

Dayna’s Doorstops, Inc. (DD) is a monopolist in the doorstop industry. Its cost is C  100  5Q  Q2, and demand is P  55  2Q.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following data about Dayna's Doorstep Inc(DD) :

Cost given by; C = 100 - 5Q + Q^2

Demand ; P = 55 - 2Q

A.) Set price to maximize output;

Marginal revenue (MR) = marginal cost (MC)

MR = taking first derivative of total revenue with respect to Q; (55 - 2Q^2)

MC = taking first derivative of total cost with respect to Q; (-5Q + Q^2)

MR = 55 - 4Q ; MC = 2Q - 5

55 - 4Q = 2Q - 5

60 = 6Q ; Q = 10

From

P = 55 - 2Q ;

P = 55 - 2(10) = $35

Output

35(10) - [100-5(10)+10^2]

350 - 150 = $200

Consumer surplus:

0.5Q(55-35)

0.5(10)(20) = $100

B.) Here,

Marginal cost = Price

2Q - 5 = 55 - 2Q

4Q = 60 ; Q = 15

P= 55 - 2(15) = $25

Totally revenue - total cost:

(25)(15) - [100-(5)(15)+15^2] = $125

Consumer surplus(CS) :

0.5Q(55-25) = 0.5(15)(30) = $225

C.) Dead Weight loss between Q=10 and Q=15, which is the area below the demand curve and above the marginal cost curve

=0.5×(35-15) ×(15-10)

=0.5×20×5 = $50

D.) If P=$27

27 = 55 - 2Q

2Q = 55 - 27

Q = 14

CS = 0.5×14×(55 - 27) = $196

DWL = 0.5(1)(4) = $2
