Answer:

11.11

Explanation:

λ=1/100/day

K=10,000

Therefore the expected length of time for replacing a burned-out lamp is equally the expected waiting time in the system which is W.

L= 1,000 (average number of burned-out lamps)

Effective arrival rate:

¯λ=λ(K-L) =1/100(10,000-1,000) = 90/day

Average length of time it takes to replace a burned-out lamp is:

W=L/¯λ= 1,000/90 =11.11

Mafia, Inc. is not living up to the contract since the company is supposed to replace the burned-out street lamp in an average of 7 days.

Answer:

This means that Mafia, Inc. is NOT living up to the contract (

Explanation:

We can relate this question  to machine repair problem M/M/1.

Using the formula λ*=λ(K-L)

Where λ is average days of usage = 1/100 per day

K is Total sample of streetlights = 10000

L is the average number of burned-out lamps = 1000

The expected length of time for replacing a burned-out lamp is the expected waiting time given by W= L/λ*

 Therefore the effective arrival rate λ*=λ(K-L) =1/100(10000-1000)

= 90/day

Thus, the average length of time it takes to replace a burned-out lamp is

W=L/λ* = 1000/90≈11.11 days

This means that Mafia, Inc. is NOT living up to the contract (contract states that the company is supposed to replace a burned-out street lamp in an average of 7 days).

A company is recording the disposal of accounts receivable with two different transactions. One transaction affects the balance
In-s [12.5K]

The following statements more accurately describe the transactions:

- The first transaction records the sale of accounts receivable to a factor, whereas the second transaction records a sale that was paid using a national credit card.

- The journal entry for the sale of receivables to a factor requires a debit to Cash (asset), a debit to Service Charge Expense (stockholders' equity), and a credit to Accounts Receivable (asset). Therefore, it affects two asset accounts and one stockholders' equity account. In contrast, the journal entry for a sale paid with a national credit card requires a debit to Cash (asset), a debit to Service Charge Expense (stockholders' equity), and a credit to Sales Revenue (stockholders' equity). Therefore, it affects one asset account and two stockholders' equity accounts. A sale made with a store credit card does not dispose of accounts receivable; instead, it increases Accounts Receivable and increases Sales Revenue.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The assets owned by the company are recorded in the form of account known as <u>asset account</u>. Capital expenditures are debited to an asset account, and the expenditure is said to be capitalized. If the owner of the business increases the assets amount, the asset account will also be increased.

<u>Equity account</u> illustrates the financial representation of the ownership of a business. The payment made by the owner to the business or the earnings that are generated by the business are considered as equity. As the equity funds come from different sources, the equity is stored in multiple types of accounts.
