Solution:

Let x = amount invested at 6% and

let y = amount invested at 2%.

We can set up some equations that describe x and y:

 

"$17,200 is invested total" means

x + y = $17,200

 "The interest earned from the amount invested at 6% exceeds the interest earned from the amount invested at 2% by $441.00" means

0.06x = 0.02y + $441.00

 

Solve for x in the first equation to get x = 17,200 - y, then plug that into the second equation and solve for y:

 

0.05(17,200 - y) = 0.02y + 441.00

860 - 0.06y = 0.02y + 865.35

5.35 - 0.09y = 0.02y

154.80 = 0.11 y

1407 = y

 

So, $1407 was invested at 2%. Plug y = 1407 into the first equation and solve for x:

 

x + 1407 = 17,200

x = 15,793

 

So, $15,793 was invested at 6%.

A single-channel queuing system has an average service time of 10 minutes and an average time between customer arrivals of 15 mi
amm1812

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

You recently purchased a stock that is expected to earn 10 percent in a booming economy, 4 percent in a normal economy, and lose
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

b. 3.70 percent

Explanation:

Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities,  is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.

Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)

Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%

Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%

Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%

Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;

= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%

= 3.7%

Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.

lesya692 [45]

Answer: Capital structure                            

Explanation: In simple words, capital structure refers to the proportion of different securities that an organisation uses as a combination to fund its operations. In other words, the amount of debt and equity in total capital in hand of the business is termed as capital structure.

Capital structure is of high importance to the investors as it directly impacts the liquidity and profitability of the organisation.

The ability of a company to bear its short term obligation is called liquidity and the ability to generate profit with given amount of resources is called profitability.
