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)
= 24 ÷ 30
= 0.8
Answer:
Supply side is the view point of the Firms or the Businesses.
Explanation:
As the law of demand deals with the consumers side, the law of supply deals with the suppliers or the firms/businesses.
this tries to explain the factors that affect the supply, such as the prices of the substitutes and complements, the price of a commodity itself, taxes, government subsidies, technological influences, etc...
in this question, the 1st option, consumer is wrong. However, in certain situations, Government can be acted as a "supplier" (if there is a government monopoly on the supply of a good or a service", and government is a heavy influencer of supply through the implementaion of taxes and subsidies!
Answer:
30%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Here we considered a long term bond that time period should be 15 years or more
Now as we know that
Current yield is
= Current payment ÷ Pb
5% = Current payment ÷ $800
The Current payment is $40
Now the yield to maturity is
-$800 = $50 ÷ (1 + i) + $1,000 ÷ (1 + i) + $1,040 ÷ (1 + i)
So, i = 30%
The same is to be chosen
Answer:
Pine Street should sell finished bookcases because they have a higher contribution margin.
Explanation:
We compare the contribution margin of the two categories to find out whether Pine Street should sell unfinished or finished bookcases.
Pine Street Inc.
Unfinished bookcases
Contribution Margin
Sales Price $58.10
Less Production costs
Variable Costs $37.49
<u>Fixed Costs $10.50 (47.99)</u>
<u>Contribution Margin $ 10.11</u>
Pine Street should sell finished bookcases because they have a higher contribution margin. It is almost double of the unfinished book cases contribution margin.
Pine Street Inc.
Finished bookcases
CONTRIBUTION MARGIN
Sales Price $74.91
Less Production costs
Variable Costs $37.49 + $5.79 = $ 43.28
<u>Fixed Costs $10.50 $ (53.78)</u>
<u>Contribution Margin $ 21.13</u>
Answer:
d) EPS cannot be calculated if a company has no preferred stock.
Explanation:
The above statement is untrue about E.P.S because the reason why 'Preferred dividend' (which is dividend on preference shares) is subtracted from Net Income, before being divided by the 'Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding' is for comparability.
Since the denominator is based on 'common shares' or 'ordinary shares', it makes sense not to include the part of income that has fallen to preferred shares.
As a matter of fact there are a lot of companies that do not have preferred stock and still report Earnings Per Share on their financial statements.
Finally, still on comparability; E.P.S helps to compare the performance of big companies that have preferred stock with small companies that do not have. Hence EPS can be calculated even when there is no preferred stock.
