The manager of a regional warehouse must decide on the number of loading docks to request for a new facility in order to minimiz

e the sum of dock costs and driver-truck costs. the manager has learned that each driver-truck combination represents a cost of $300 per day and that each dock plus loading crew represents a cost of $100 per day. how many docks should be requested if trucks arrive at the rate of three per day on average and each dock can handle five trucks per day on average. arrival of trucks follows a poisson distribution and loading time follows exponential distribution. (hint: in this problem, the average service rate, μ, is directly given to you)

Answer:

Only 1 dock is required since its overall cost is lower than having two docks

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

let us consider the data given for the warehouse:

the cost per day/driver truck = $300

Cost per day/Dock plus loading crew = $100

Arrival rate λ = 3 per day

Service rate μ = 5 per day

Now,

we compute the utilization of the ware house

Utilization =λ/μ

= 3/5

ρ = 0.6

Only 1 dock is required since its overall cost is lower than having two docks

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The statement is true. Because they can control product price, monopolists are always assured of profitable production by simply charging the highest price consumers will pay.

Explanation:

In economics, a monopoly is a term that describes an industry or other economic sector where control rests with one supplier as that supplier is the only one supplying the market. In theory, that means total control or "complete monopoly" but in practice most monopolies today are "quasi-monopolies", with a supplier dominating the market almost completely but with the space for a few small companies as well.  The monopolist can get a high price for his product by limiting market supply so that the supply of goods is less than the demand for it.

Steve's entire stock position the year of the sale at 100% is $3 million.
