Answer: (a ) 4 per hour (b ) 4.5 minutes (c ) 3 minutes

Explanation:

Average time between customer arrival = 15 minutes

Average service time = 10 minutes

(a) To calculate the customer arrival rate

Arrival rate = 1 / time between Arrival

= 1 / 15

= 0.066 × 60

= 4 per hour

(b) To calculate the average number of customers in queue

( Arrival time )^2 / service time ( service time - Arrival time)

= (15)^2 / 10 ( 10 - 15)

= 225 / 10 (-5)

= 225 / 50

= 4.5 minutes

(c) To calculate the average time customers spend in the system

Arrival time / service time - Arrival time

= 15 / 10 - 15

= 15/ -5

= 3 minutes

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate <em>0.052787474</em>

5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   100.00

time   60.00

rate  <em>0.052787474</em>

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV  

PV   4.57

<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity  $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%
