from past history that an average of 35 customers (with a standard deviation of 24) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. revenue from a ticket on the flight is $134. if the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. the cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $263. super discount considers the cost of flying the plane from new york to los angeles a sunk cost. by how many seats should super discount overbook the flight?

The cost of underestimating the demand is considered a revenue loss that arises due to cancellation of flight costing $134. Hence, cost of underetimating the demand is C_u=\$134.

The cost of overestimating the demand is known as rewards. For example, free round trip ticket worth $263. Hence, the cost of overestimating the demand is C_o=\$263.

\frac{C_u}{C_u+C_o} = \frac{134}{134+263}  \\  \\ = \frac{134}{397} =0.3375

The z-score that yields a p-value of 0.3375 is -0.4193.

Thus, super discount airlines should overbook the flight by 35 + (-0.4193 x 24) = 35 - 10.0632 = 24.9368 = 25 seats.

Therefore, super discount airlines should overbook the flight by 25 seats.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

so value of the mistake is $311685.71

Explanation:

given data

present value = $1,200,000

time = 6 year

discount rate = 18%

discount rate = 8%

to find out

What is the dollar value of the mistake

solution

we get here present value that is express as for both rate that is

present value = \frac{FV}{(1+r)^t}

put here value

present value =  \frac{1200000}{(1+0.18)^6}

present value 1 = $444517.85

and

present value =  \frac{1200000}{(1+0.08)^6}

present value 2 = $756203.55

so

difference is $756203.55 - $444517.85

difference is = $311685.71

so value of the mistake is $311685.71

The following is a partially completed lower section of a departmental expense allocation spreadsheet for Brickland. It reports
blagie [28]

Answer:

The correct option is b. $8,100

Explanation:

Since the question was asked about the allocation of maintenance department expense to assembly and the maintenance department expense is based on the square footage.

So, the following equation should be used which is shown below:

= Maintenance department expense × assembly square foot space ÷ total sum of square foot space

where,

Maintenance department expense is $18,000

Assembly square footage is 2,700

And, the total sum of square foot space equals to

=  Fabrication square foot space + assembly square foot space

= 3,300 + 2,700

= 6,000

Now, put these values on the above equation.

So, the value would be equals to

= $18,000 × 2,700 ÷ 6,000

= $18,000 × 0.45

= $8,100

The other cost is irrelevant. Thus, it is ignored while computation.

Hence, the amount of Maintenance department expense to be allocated to Assembly is $8,100

Therefore, the correct option is b. $8,100

weqwewe [10]
Given:
ΔY = $5,000, the change in income
ΔS = 50,000 - 54,000 = - 4,000, the change in savings.

By definition,
MPS (Marginal Propensity to Spend) is
MPS = ΔS/ΔY = -4000/5000 = -0.8

The relation between MPS and MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) is
MPS + MPC = 1.
Therefore
MPC - 0.8 = 1
MPC = 1.8

Answer:
MPS = 0.8
MPC = 1.8
