Customers arrive at a bank teller machine at the rate one every three minutes. Each customer spends an average of two minutes at
Julli [10]

Answer:

Arrival rate

1 every 3 minutes

1 minute = 1/3 = 0.33

60 minutes = 0.33*60 = 19.8 = 20 per hour

λ = 20 per hour

Service Rate

1 every 2 minutes

1 minutes = 1/2 = 0.5

60 minutes = 0.5*60 = 30 per hour

µ = 30 per hour

a. Utilization of Teller Machine

P = λ / µ

P = 20/30

P = 66.67%

b. Average number of customers in line

Lq = pL = (λ/µ) (λ/µ- λ)

= (20 / 30) (20 / 30 - 20)

= 20/30 * 20 / 10

= 1.33 customers

c. Average number of customers in the system

L = (λ/µ- λ)

= 20 / 30 - 20

= 20 / 10

= 2 customers

d. Average time customer spends in line

Wq = λ/[µ*(µ- λ)]

= 20 / [30 * (30-20)]

= 20 / 30 * 10

= 0.06667 hours or 4 minutes

e. Average time customers spend in the system

W = 1/(µ- λ)

= 1 / 30 - 20

= 1/10

= 0.10 hours or 6 minutes

f. Probability that there are 3 customers in the system

Pn = (1-p)*p^n

= (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^3

= 0.3333 * 0.296296

= 0.09876

g. Probability that there are two or more customers in the system

= 1 - P(0) - P(1)

= 1 - (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^0 - (1 - 20/30) * (20/30)^1

= 1 - 1/3 - 2/9

= 4/9

= 0.4444

According to the FBI Bank Crime​ Statistics, there were nearly​ 4,000 bank robberies in the United States in 2014. The FBI claim
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Before a large corporation makes any investment decision, they carry out a cost benefit analysis. In other words, before the banks install clear acrylic partitions, they will decide if the cost of installing those partitions offset the costs of the robberies. The problem with this reasoning is that all banks have insurance against robberies, so if they are robbed the insurance company pays them. So installing the partitions do not represent a lot of benefits for the bank, but they are expensive and represent a large investment. The only way that banks install them is that insurance companies force them to do so.

leva [86]

Answer:

A. $720 Unfavorable

B. $840 Unfavorable

C. $1,560 Unfavorable

D. $800 Favorable

E. $30 Unfavorable

F. $790 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:-

A. Sales = (Budget quantity - Actual quantity) × Budgeted sale price

= ($8.10 - $7.80) × 2,400

= $0.3 × 2,400

= $720 Unfavorable

B. Variable manufacturing = (Actual variable cost - Budgeted variable manufacturing cost) × Budgeted sale price

= ($4.25 - $3.90) × 2,400

= $0.35 × 2,400

= $840 Unfavorable

C. Contribution margin = ((Budgeted sales price - Budgeted variable manufacturing cost) - (Actual sale price - Actual variable cost)) × Budgeted sale price

= (($8.10 - $3.90) - ($7.80 - $4.25)) × 2,400

= $0.65 × 2,400

= $1,560 Unfavorable

D. Fixed manufacturing = Actual fixed manufacturing cost - Budgeted  Fixed manufacturing cost

= $1,300 - $2,100

= $800 Favorable

E. Fixed selling and admin cost = Actual selling and administrative costs - Budgeted fixed selling and administrative cost

= $530 - $500

= $30 Unfavorable

F. Net income (loss) = Contribution margin - Fixed manufacturing + Fixed selling and admin cost

= $1,560 - $800 + $30

= $790 Unfavorable
