Solution :

The average number of the arrivals, λ = 6 per hour

Average service rate, $\mu = \frac{60 \times 2}{15}$

                                      = 8

Average number of the customers in the system is given by,

    $= \frac{\lambda}{\mu - \lambda }$

   $= \frac{6}{8 - 6 }$

  = 3

Average number of the customers that are waiting in the line behind the person who are being served is,

   $=\frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^2}{1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu}} $

  $=\frac{\left(\frac{6}{8}\right)^2}{1-\frac{6}{8}} $

 $=\frac{(0.75)^2 }{0.25} $

  = 2.25

Proportion of the time the server is busy,

    $=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}$

   $=\frac{6}{8}$

   = 0.75

A particular stock has a dividend yield of 1.5 percent. Last year, the stock price fell from $82 to $68. What was the return for
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The return for the year is -15.57%.

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate Return for the year as:

* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital Gain/(Loss).

in which:

* Dividend yield is given at 1.5%;

* Capital Gain/(Loss) = Price at year end/ Price at the beginning of the year - 1 = 68/82 -1 = - 17.07%;

So we have:

* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital (Loss) = 1.5% - 17.07% = -15.57%.

Thus, the answer is -15.57%.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Interest paid in cash in 2018 = $0

Interest recognized on the Income statement = $1,800

Liabilities recognized = $90,000

Amount paid for Principal and interest = $93,600

Interest reported on 2019 Income statement = 1800

Explanation:

Interest paid in cash in 2018 is zero because interest and principal were paid in cash on the maturity date.

Interest recognized in 2018 = 90000*0.08*3/12 = $1800

liabilities are recognized at original amount because the interest is not capitalized and no payment made thus far.

Amount paid on maturity date is 93,600 ( 90000 principal, 3600 interest)

interest reported is for three months jan - march
