ane is planning to offer a Groupon for inner tube rentals that she will distribute on hot, sunny, summer days by the river that

runs through her town. Based on her past experience with Groupon, she has assigned the following probability distribution to the number of tubes she will rent on a randomly selected day. If Jane would like her expected revenue to be at least $300 per day, what should the Groupon price be? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Probability assigned:|

x 30 60 120 180

P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10

Answer:

Jane

Price of Groupon for a revenue of $300 is:

$3

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected Sales volume:

Number of Tubes  x   30     60      120     180

Probability P(x)           .10     .40      .40      .10

Expected values          3      24       48       18

Total = 93 tubes

Groupon price = $300/93 = $3.23

b) Jane's price for each Groupon will be the rent revenue per day divided by the expected number of tubes to rent daily.  The expected number of tubes is derived by multiplying each expected number of tubes by its probability and then summing up the results.

Po = 0.5385, Lq = 0.0593 boats, Wq = 0.5930 minutes, W = 6.5930 minutes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The problem is that of Multiple-server Queuing Model.

Number of servers, M = 2.

Arrival rate, \lambda= 6 boats per hour.

Service rate, \mu= 10 boats per hour.

Probability of zero boats in the system,\mathrm{PO}=1 /\{[(1 / 0 !) \times(6 / 10) 0+(1 / 1 !) \times(6 / 10) 1]+[(6 / 10) 2 /(2 ! \times(1-(6 /(2 \times 10)))]\} = 0.5385

<u>Average number of boats waiting in line for service:</u>

Lq =[\lambda.\mu.( \lambda / \mu )M / {(M – 1)! (M. \mu – \lambda )2}] x P0

= [\{6 \times 10 \times(6 / 10) 2\} /\{(2-1) ! \times((2 \times 10)-6) 2\}] \times 0.5385 = 0.0593 boats.

The average time a boat will spend waiting for service, Wq  =  0.0593 divide by 6 = 0.009883 hours = 0.5930 minutes.

The average time a boat will spend at the dock, W =  0.009883 plus (1 divide 10) = 0.109883 hours = 6.5930 minutes.

Some countries share a common currency (e.g., those that participate in the euro), while some other countries peg their currenci
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The potential of additional regional currencies such as the euro is very important, and for this reason, many economists support the idea. In fact, John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists in history, once proposed not a regional common currency, but a common global currency.

The potential lies in the fact that regional currencies allow to coordinate a common monetary policy in several countries. This common policy means that several countries now have the same interest rates, the same rate of inflation, and the same currency itself, and all these commonalities facilitate the exchange of goods and services.

While the Euro has had drawbacks since its inception, the Euro has survived, and is now one of the strongest curriencies in the world.

If you support the concept, should those currencies be tied to regional economic blocs?

I support the concept, and I agree that they should be tied to regional economic bloc. It would not be very effective to adopt a common currency for countries that are not economically integrated in other areas.

A small metal shop operates 10 hours each day, producing 100 parts/hour. If productivity were increased 20%, how many hours woul
ipn [44]

Answer:

The plant would have to work 8.33 hours

Explanation:

Initial productivity:

100 parts were produced in 1 hour

Percentage increase in productivity = 20%

New productivity:

100 + (100 × 0.2) = 100 + 20 = 120

120 parts would be produced in 1 hour

Number of hours the plant would have to work to produce 1000 parts = 1000/120 = 8.33 hours
