Answer:

b. At the midpoint of the project, members realize that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

Explanation:

The punctuated-equilibrium model of group development is states that after a long periods of no change, members a of group usually have no choice than to move forward during bursts of change. At this point, it known to the members that the only way to complete a given task is for them to alter the pattern of the behavior.

Therefore, the correct option is b. At the midpoint of the project, members realize that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

Answer:

The answer is B: At the midpoint of the project, members realize that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium is a concept in both biology and business where long periods of relative stability are often followed by growth spurts.

The punctuated-equilibrium model argues that groups usually move forward during bursts of change after going for long periods without change.

In the answer B, this concept is captured as group members of a project realise somewhere at the midpoint, that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

This shows that a period of relative stability was observed and then a short period of growth will be observed during the project lifecycle. This agrees with the development pattern known as punctuated equilibrium.

A company can choose to use FIFO inventory costing methods for the financial statement and can elect to use either LIFO or FIFO

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A. True.

Explanation:

Companies can and often do use different costing methods for financial reporting and tax reporting. The only exception is when LIFO is used for tax reporting; in this case the IRS requires that it also be used in financial statements.

LIFO assigns the highest amount to cost of goods sold - yielding the lowest gross profits and net income , which also yields a temporary tax advantage by postponing payment of some income tax.

Repair calls are handled by one repairman at a photocopy shop. Repair time, including travel time, is exponentially distributed,

wolverine [178]

Answer:

the average number of customers awaiting repairs = 0.30

the system utilization = 42

the amount of time that the repairman is not out on a call is = 4.64 hours

the probability of two or more customers in the system = 0.1764

Explanation:

Given that :

Repair time, including travel time = mean of 1.6 hours per call.

Requests for copier repairs = mean rate of 2.1 per eight-hour day

i.e mean rate R = 2.1/day

Time = 8 hours

thus; mean rate μ = 8 hours/ 1.6 hours = 5

(a)

Let the average number of customers awaiting repairs be $I_i$ :

$I_i = \dfrac{R^2}{\mu (\mu-R)}$

$I_i = \dfrac{2.1^2}{5 (5-2.1)}$

$I_i = \dfrac{4.41}{5 (2.9)}$

$I_i = \dfrac{4.41}{14.5}$

$\mathbf{I_i = 0.30}$

the average number of customers awaiting repairs = 0.30

(b) Determine system utilization.

The system utilization is determined as follows:

$\delta = \dfrac{R}{\mu}$

$\delta = \dfrac{2.1}{5}$

${\delta = 0.42}$

$\mathbf{\delta = 42}$

Percentage of Idle time = 1 - $\delta$

Percentage of Idle time = 1 - 0.42

Percentage of Idle time = 0.58

However during an 8 hour day; The amount of time that the repairman is not out on a call is = 0.58 × 8 = 4.64 hours

(d)

the probability of two or more customers in the system by assuming Poisson Distribution is:

P(N ≥ 2) = 1 - (P₀+ P₁)

where;

P₀ = 0.58

P₁ = 0.58 × 0.42 = 0.2436

P(N ≥ 2) = 1 - ( 0.58 + 0.2436)

P(N ≥ 2) = 1 - 0.8236

P(N ≥ 2) = 0.1764

Thus; the probability of two or more customers in the system is 0.1764

An efficient way to move toward the Nash equilibrium is called:

laiz [17]

Answer:

A convention

Explanation:

Nash equilibrium is a theory or a concept of equilibrium, which is in the game theory ,where the possible result or the best outcome of the game and there is no incentive which could deviate from the strategy.

So, it is an effective way to move toward the Nash equilibrium is known or referred to a convention, which is a non- cooperative game.
