A gas station with only one gas pump employs the following policy: If a customer has to wait to buy the gasoline, the price is $

3.50 per gallon. If she does not have to wait to buy the gasoline, the price is $4.00 per gallon. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 20 per hour. Service times at the pump have an exponential distribution with a mean of 2 minutes. Arriving customers always wait until they can eventually buy gasoline.

Answer:

Explanation:

The arrival rate (λ) = 20 customers per hour. Since the service times at the pump have an exponential distribution with a mean of 2 minutes, therefore the service rate (μ) = 60 / 2 = 30 customers per hour.

The probability of the no  customers being in the system(P₀) is given as:

P_0=1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu} =1-\frac{20}{30}=1-0.67=0.33

If no customer is in the system we can sell gasoline for $4 /gallon to the next customer. The expected price p of gasoline is given by:

P=P_0*4+(1-P_0)3.5=0.33*4+(1-0.33)3.5=1.32+2.345=3.665

P = $3.665 per gallon

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Revenues earned:

cash = $32,000

on account = $18,000

Expenses incurred:

cash = $5,000

on account = $10,000

Net Income:

= Income - Expenses

= (Cash revenue + account revenue) - (cash expenses + Expenses on account)

= ($32,000 + $18,000) - ($5,000 + $10,000)

= $35,000

Therefore, the net income for the month of May is $35,000.

Francisco leased equipment from Julio on December 31, 2021. The lease is a 10-year lease with annual payments of $159,000 due on
vodomira [7]

Answer: $789855

Explanation:

Initial liability = $1,006,192

Less: Payment = $159,000

Liability = $847192

× Implicit rate 12%

Interest = 12% × $847192 = $101663

Then, reduced balance will be:

= Payment - Interest

= $159,000 - $101663

= $57337

Therefore, Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022 will be:

= $847192 - $57337

= $789855
