Answer:
(a) 3.2
(b) 10 minutes
(c) 0.8
Explanation:
Mean number of customer in service:
= Arrival rate ÷ service rate
= 24 in 60 min ÷ 30 in 60 min
= 24 ÷ 30
= 0.8
a) Average number of people in line:
= (Mean number of customer in service × arrival rate) ÷ (Service rate - arrival rate)
= 0.8 × (24 ÷ 6
)
= 3.2
b) Average time spend at the ticket office is = 10 minutes
c) Proportion of time server is busy:
= Arrival rate ÷ service rate
= (24 in 60 min ÷ 30 in 60 min)

Answer:
Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 8.22 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that the company expect from a project. It shows the risk of the company.
Calculation of WACC
WACC = Cost of equity + Cost of preferred stock + Cost of debt
Capital Source Market Values Weight Cost Total Cost
equity $ 7 billion 29.17% 13.6% 3.97 %
preferred stock $ 2 billion 8.33% 12% 1.00 %
debt $ 15 billion 62.50% 5.2 % 3.25%
Total $ 24 billion 8.22 %
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Risk Premium
= 4% + 1.2 × 8%
= 13.6%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Market Price
= $ 3/ $ 25 × 100
= 12%
Cost of debt = interest × (1- tax rate)
= 8% × (1-0.35)
= 5.2 %
