Larry Ellison starts a company that manufactures high-end custom leather bags. He hires two employees. Each employee only begins

working on a bag when a customer order has been received and then she makes the bag from beginning to end. The average production time of a bag is 1.8 days with a standard deviation of 2.7 days. Larry expects to receive one customer order per day on average. The interarrival times of orders have a coefficient of variation of 1. (Carry at least 4 decimal places in all intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

12.55 days

Explanation:

<em><u>Provided information </u></em>

Number of employees 2

Average production time=1.8 days

Standard deviation=2.7 days

Inter-arrival time= 1 day

Coefficient of variation= 1 day

Standard deviation of inter-arrival time= 1 day

The coefficient of variations

<u>Inter-arrival coefficient of variation </u>

C_{vi}=\frac {\sigma}{T} where \sigma is standard deviation of inter-arrival time, T is inter-arrival time and C_v is coefficient of variation of inter-arrival time

C_{vi}=\frac {1 day}{1 day}=1

<u>Production time coefficient of variation </u>

C_{vp}=\frac {2.7}{1.8}=1.5

<u><em>Total utilization time </em></u>

U=\frac {T}{n*T_i} where T is the time of production, n is number of employees, U is utilization, T_i is inter-arrival time

U=\frac {1.8}{2*1}=0.9

Therefore, utilization time by 2 employees is 0.9

<u>Expected average waiting time </u>

T_e=(\frac {T}{n*T_i})*0.5(C_{vi}^{2}+C_{vp}^{2})*(\frac{U^{\sqrt{2(n+1)}-1}}{1-U})

Where T_e is expected average waiting time and the other symbols as already defined

Substituting 1.5 for C_{vp}, 1 for C_{vi}, 0.9 for U, 2 for n, 1 for T_iand 1.8 for T

T_e=(\frac {1.8}{2*1})*0.5(1^{2}+1.5^{2})*(\frac{0.9^{\sqrt{2(2+1)}-1}}{1-0.9})

T_e=0.9*1.625*8.583709=12.55367 days  and rounding off to 2 decimal places we obtain 12.55 days

Therefore, expected duration between order received and beginning of production is approximately 12.55 days

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$354,500

Explanation:

First find the amount invested ie the Present Value as follows :

n = 25 × 2 = 50

i = 5%

P/yr = 2

Pmt = $0

Fv = $500,000

Pv = ?

Using a Financial Calculator to enter the amounts as above, the Present Value is $145,471

Total Interest = Future Value - Present Value

                      = $500,000 - $145,471

                      = $354,529

Thus interest is $354,500 (nearest hundred dollars).

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

lower the cost of producing gasoline and increase the supply of gasoline

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: Deferred income which must be a liability accounts.

Explanation:

Revenue earned on a service is recognised when the service has been performed, it's probable that economic benefits of the services will be enjoyed by the client, the price of the services can be measured reasonably, cost Incurred on the performance of the services can be measured reasonably.

On the above scenario the services has not been perform, the cost of performance cannot be measured, these and more shows that Jaguar cannot recognize the sum as an income but rather as a deferred income(liabilities) which will later be transferred to income accounts as the necessary conditions for recognition as income are met.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

C) Telecommuting

Explanation:

Telecommuting simply means working from your home. The internet changed our lives completely, and it is also how we work. Everyday more people are starting to work from distant locations to their "main office". This means that they can be working at their house using a computer which is connected to the company's intranet.

Some of the advantages of telecommuting is that it increases efficiency by decreasing costs (you don't have to spend time going to work and you can have your office at home), reducing employee churn rate, allowing older or disabled people to work, it is good for your health, and around 65% of telecommuters in the US have have increased their work efficiency vs. their normal office work.

A stock had returns of 12 percent, 16 percent, 10 percent, 19 percent, 15 percent, and -6 percent over the last six years. What
OleMash [197]

Answer:

10.68%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Returns on stock : 12%, 16%, 10%, 19%, 15%, -6%

Now,

Geometric average return on the stock is calculated as:

Geometric average return = ({(1 + r_1)\times(1 + r_2).......\times(1 + r_n)})^\frac{1}{n}- 1

Thus,

For the given returns on stock

Geometric average return

=[ (1 + 0.12)\times(1 + 0.16)\times(1 + 0.10)\times(1 + 0.19)\times(1 + 0.15)\times(1 + (- 0.06)) ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

= [ 1.12\times1.16\times1.10\times1.19\times1.15\times0.94 ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

=  [1.8384056768]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

= 1.1068 - 1

= 0.1068

or

= 0.1068 × 100%

= 10.68%
