Suppose that the Dallas School District wants to achieve Six Sigma quality levels of performance in delivering students to schoo

l. They have established a 20-minute window as an acceptable range within which buses carrying students should arrive at school. a. What is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve this standard of quality? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If they achieve this standard, about how many times out of a million deliveries will a bus deliver students either too early or too late? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answer:

a) 1.66 minutes

b) 3.4 out of million deliveries

Explanation:

So, it is a six sigma quality question, we first need to understand little bit about six sigma and how it is to achieve six sigma level.

<u>Six Sigma:</u>

It is the process or technique used by many organizations through out the world to achieve maximum quality in a product or in a service they are providing. It helps to indicate root causes of the process or you can say waste steps which first need to be identified then rectified to bring that top-notch quality in the system. So in this case, in order to calculate part a) we will calculate six sigma control limits.

a) So, for six sigma control limits, the maximum allowable standard deviation is 12 or you can say +6 + (-6) = ±6 = 12. It means all deviations must lie in all 12 standard deviations.

<em>Please refer to the table shown in the attachment.</em> This bell curve represent six sigma concept. In this <em>3 sigma quality level means all deviations must lie in 6 standard deviations.</em>

So, here we have been given that mean = 20, so with mean we can calculate standard deviation in six sigma control limits.

Maximum Allowable Standard Deviation for 6 sigma = Mean/12

                                                                                        = 20/12

                                                                                       = 1.66

So, 1.66 is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve 6 sigma quality level.

b) In this part, we are asked that, out of million deliveries about how many times bus deliver students too early or too late at this 6 sigma quality level.

<em>For this answer, please refer to attachment again</em>. and notice at the left bottom with the arrow of 6 sigma, we have a number 3.4 ppm means 3.4 part per million.

<em>So, it 3.4 times in a million deliveries bus will deliver students either too early or too late. </em>

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She has a choice of receiving a payment of $160,000 immediately or of receiving deferred perpetuity with $10,000 annual payments, the first payment occurring in exactly four years.

A) i= 5%

First, we need to determine the value of the perpetuity four years from now.

Perpetuity= 10,000/0.05= 200,000

Now, we can calculate the present value:

PV= 200,000/(1.05^4)= $164,540.50

B) i= 6%

Perpetuity= 10,000/0.06= $166,666.67

PV= $166,666.67/1.06^4= $132,015.61

C) She should consider her necessities of cash and the value of the products she can purchase now.

andrezito [222]

Profit Inc., a manufacturing firm, has purchased raw materials worth $10,000 on credit from its vendors. The business plans to settle the vendor’s full payment after two months. Under "current liabilities"section of balance sheet this account will be recorded as "account payable".

Answer: Option (B) is correct

<u>Explanation:</u>

Raw material purchased on credit from a vendor is a liability and it is shown under current liabilities in "accounts payable". Since raw material purchased on credit and payment is to be made after two months.

Payment due gives rise to liability. Now current liability is a company's short term obligations that are to be paid back within a year. Here the firm will have to make payment within two months to the vendor.
