Answer:

B

Explanation:

We are to find the present value of the annuity

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 10 = $4,800

I = 5%

Present value = 37,064.16

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

Agan Interior Design provides home and office decorating assistance to its customers. In normal operation, an average of 2.5 cus
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A) Single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

\lambda=2.5 \,customers/hour\\\\\mu=6\,customers/hour

B) The goal is not met, as the average time waiting for service is 5.56 minutes.

C) The new mean service rate is 7.5 customers/hour.

In this case, the average time waiting for service is 4 minutes, so the goal is met.

Explanation:

A) This situation can be modeled as a single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

The mean arrival rate is 2.5 customers per hour.

\lambda=2.5 \,customer/h

The mean service rate is 6 customers per hour, calculated as:

\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{10 \,min/customer}=6\, customer/h

B) The average waiting time for a customer can be expressed as:

W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda}  =\frac{2.5}{6}\frac{1}{6-2.5} =0.417*0.222=0.093\,hours\\\\W_q=0.093\,hours*(60min/h)=5.56 \,min

The average waiting time is 5.56 minutes, so it is more than the goal of 5 minutes.

C) If the average time spent per customer to 8 minutes, the mean service rate becomes

\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{8 \,min/customer}=7.5\, customer/h

An the average waiting time for the service now becomes:

W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda}  =\frac{2.5}{7.5}\frac{1}{7.5-2.5} =0.333*0.2=0.067\,hours\\\\W_q=0.067\,hours*(60min/h)=4 \,min

The average time is now 4 minutes, so the goal is achieved.

To maximize profit, the perfectly competitive firm charges a price equal to __________ while the monopolist charges a price ____
belka [17]

To maximize profit, the perfectly competitive firm charges a price equal to the marginal cost while the monopolist charges a price greater than the marginal cost.

The monopolist will select the profit-maximizing level of output where MR = MC, and then charge the price for that quantity of output as determined by the market demand curve. If that price is above average cost, the monopolist earns positive profits.

In a monopolistically competitive market, the rule for maximizing profit is to set MR = MC and the price is higher than marginal revenue, not equal to it because the demand curve is downward sloping.
