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. Determine the expected price (in $) of gasoline per gallon. Group of answer choices

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

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": A&B.

Explanation:

Managers have several functions within an organization. Among them, they must <em>analyze information </em>-the accounting books of the company- to find out what products have maximized their production process and which ones have not. Besides, they must relate that information to the number of sales the company is processing given a certain period.

Thus, what is the best and low-selling products of a firm are questions that managers must ask to explore its<em> strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities</em>.

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis​ (BEA) has recently adopted a new approach to calculate real GDP and real GDP growth to cor
pashok25 [27]

One of the features of the new approach is​ that, now BEA uses the geometric average of fixed weight indexes and uses two base years to calculate the growth rate of real GDP between two consecutive years.

Explanation:

In both actual and nominal GDP, the U.S. Economic Analysis Department results. It estimates the real United States. GDP is a fixed base year annual rate. Imports and international sales from American businesses and people are exempt.

GDP reflects the degree to which the economy generates production. Global warming is not generated and not part of GDP. The effect of environmental damage is not measured accurately. The loss should not be included in GDP and the calculation of environmental damage has not been accepted.

If actual sales totaled $450,000 for the current year (30,000 units at $15 each) and planned sales were $540,000 (45,000 units a
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option B, $45,000, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Given actual sales = $450000

Actual units that is sold = 30000 units

Actual selling price = $15 per unit

Planned sales = $540000

Planned units = 45000

Planned selling price = $12 per units.

The difference between actual and planned sales due to unit price factor = change in units × change in price

= (45000 – 30000) × (15 – 12)

= $45000

Thus option B is correct.

Concepts for Analysis 24-3 (Essay) Presented below are three independent situations.
Helga [31]

Answer:1. Make provision for warranty claims.

2. Disclosure of contingent liability

3. No cost should be recorded.

Explanation:

Warranty is an assurance made by firms to make good any agreed loss that is incurred by the customers in usage of goods and services whiting the period of the warranty. Since an estimation can be made based on firms history of sales a provision has to be made for possible warranty.

Since it's only probably that a loss will be Incurred by the firm by going into the contract and the financial statement has not been issue the firm should made a contingent liability disclosure in the report.

The self insurance is not a contract with a third party, in this vein no cost will be accrued until the loss is actually suffered.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.

Explanation:

Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.

Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.

Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.

Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.

Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).

However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.
