hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A) 1.79

b) 71%

c) 0.75 minutes

d) 0.537 minutes

e) 0.343, 0.240 , 0.1681

Explanation:

L = average number of customers in the system ( 200 / 80 ) = 2.5

a = poission distribution per hour = 200

b = service rate of cashier = 280

A) average number of moviegoers waiting in line to purchase ticket

Lq = L - \frac{a}{b} = 2.5 - (200/280) = 2.5 - 0.71 = 1.79

B) percentage of cashier been busy

p = a/b = 0.71 = 71%

C) average time spent by a customer in the system

w = L / a = 2.5 / 200 = 0.0125 hours = 0.75 minutes

D) average time spent waiting in line to get to the ticket window ?

W2 = Lq / a = 1.79 / 200 = 0.00895 hours = 0.537 minutes

E) probabilities of people in the system

i) more than two people

p ( x ≥ 2 ) = 1 - ( p0 + p1 + p2 ) = 1 - 0.657 = 0.343

more than three people

ii) p ( x ≥ 3 ) = 1 - (p0 + p1 + p2 + p3 ) = 1 - 0.7599 = 0.240

iii) more than four people

p ( x ≥ 4 ) = 1 - ( p0 - p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 ) = 1 - 0.8319 = 0.1681

Which of the following are examples of natural barriers to entry? Correct Answer(s) Drag appropriate answer(s) here Smaller comp
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

These are correct:

  • Smaller companies with smaller production processes have higher per unit costs than larger companies. - smaller firms find it harder to adopt economies of scale to reduce costs.
  • Over time, a firm takes control of 85% of the world’s supply of a chemical used in the production of plastic. - the firm has almost total control over a scarce resource, and new competitors have to scramble for the remaning 15%. (note: this is a natural barrier to entry as long as the pharmaceutical company did not collude with the government to reach such a high market share, in said case, it would be an artificial barrier to entry).
  • Lenders are hesitant to provide funding for new firms that will compete with a large, well-established firm. - a small firm may lack market credibility in the financial markets, because investors are hesitant about the future of the company, or do not expect high rates of return.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Option (d)

Explanation:

Under this case the write off will be as follow:

                                                                      Debit         Credit

Allowance for doubtful accounts                25,200  

Accounts receivables                                                     25,200

Here, in this case the Allowance for the doubtful accounts and Accounts receivables are further decreased as the outcome of the transaction made. Thus, there will be no further effect on working capital. Therefore the $30,000 that is bad debt would then be stated as the credit to allowance account. This will then decrease the working capital by $30,000.
