Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers

are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as "no-shows". To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel:______.
18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19.

Answer:

No-shows in Hotel Reservations

Sample mean

= Sum of the samples divided by the number

= (18 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 14 + 18 + 16 + 18 + 14 + 19)/10 = 16.5

Explanation:

In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean, or simply the mean or average is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of numbers in the collection.

A sample mean therefore is the average of the sum of a collection of samples divided by the count of numbers in the collection.  Simply, the sample mean is the average of all the measurements in the sample.

Which of the following is a condition necessary to exclude an obligation from current liabilities? Entry field with incorrect an
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The answer is: Obligation that has a distant due date exceeding company's operating cycle.  

Explanation:

A current liability is a financial obligation due within one year (or one normal operation cycle).

So a financial obligation that has a due date that exceeds a company´s operating cycle should have been directly classified as a long term liability (or a non current liability) in the first place. It simply is not a current liability that is changed into a long term liability, it always was a long term liability.

The other options represent the steps necessary for turning a current liability into a long term liability.

  1. Intend to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.
  2. Demonstrate the ability to complete the refinancing.
  3. Subsequently refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.

zysi [14]

Answer:

value of new lagoon will be $4.05 million

Explanation:

We have given cost = $2.3 million

It is given that new lagoon will be 65% larger

So size of lagoon will be 1+0.65 =1.65

Sizing exponent for this project is given 1.13

So x = 1.13

New lagoon is given by New\ lagoon=cost\times size^x

So new lagoon will be equal to =2.3\times 1.65^{1.13}=2.3\times 1.76=4.05 $ million

So value of new lagoon will be $4.05 million

Firms colluding: a. Earn short run normal profits. B. Increase competition by firms through advances in technology. C. Earn shor
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

D. Earn short run economic profits

Explanation:

A cartel can be defined as a formal agreement reached (collusion) in an oligopolistic industry between two or more business firms that are saddled with the responsibility of producing goods and services in order to make price and output decisions such as price regulation, total level of output or supply, allocation of customers, market shares, territory allocation, division of profits, collusive bidding etc.

This ultimately implies that, when a group of independent firms in an oligopolistic industry collude by reaching a formal agreement to regulate supply, as well as manipulate or regulate prices, they do so to increase their profits and market dominance.

Hence, firms colluding earn short run economic profits.

Answer:

The euro has gained strength against the dollar.

Explanation:

Exchange rate is a measure of the value of one countrie's currency compared with another. For example how many dollars can be exchanged for a euro.

Most exchange rates are free floating, meaning their value is determined by market forces (demand and supply).

Some countries however peg their currency value.

So in this scenario Thomas is giving more dollars for fewer euros because the euro has more value.
