A fast-food restaurant has determined that the chance a customer will order a soft drink is 0.90. The proba- bility that a custo

azamat

Answer:

(a) The probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b) The probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

Explanation:

Let the events be denoted as follows:

S = an order of soft drink

H = an order of hamburger

F = an order of french fries.

Given:

P (S) = 0.90

P (H) = 0.60

P (F) = 0.50

(a)

It is provided that the event of ordering a soft drink and fries are independent.

If events A and B are independent then the probability of event (A ∩ B) is:

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

Compute the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries as follows:

$P(S\cap \bar F)=P(S)\times P(\bar F)\\=P(S)\times[1-P(F)]\\=0.90\times (1-0.50)\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b)

It is provided that the conditional probability that a customer will order fries given that he/she has already ordered a hamburger as, P (F|H) = 0.80.

The conditional probability of an event B given another event A has already occurred is:

$P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B}{P(A)}$

Compute the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries as follows:

$P(F|H)=\frac{P(H\cap F)}{P(H)}\\P(H\cap F)=P(F|H)\times P(H)\\=0.80\times 0.60\\=0.48$

Thus, the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

A standard hour incentive plan is likely to be successful if :_________

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: employees want the extra money more than they want to work at a pace that feels comfortable

Explanation:

A standard hour plan is based on the units that employees produce and once that unit is met, a set hourly wage is paid to the employees and an incentive can be given once the standard number of hours is exceeded.

It should be noted that a standard hour incentive plan is likely to be successful if employees want the extra money more than they want to work at a pace that feels comfortable. This will motivate them to work for extra hours since they want the extra money.

Luther Corporation Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31, 2006 and 2005 (in $ millions) Assets 2006 2005 Liabilities and St

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Luther Corporation

Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:

1.1 : 1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total Current Assets = $144 million

Total Current Liabilities = $132 million

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $144/$132

= 1.1 : 1

b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million. The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts. Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average. This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.

Use the following chart to explain how the amount of principal affects the total cost of the loan

german

Answer: The higher the principal, the higher the total cost of the loan

Explanation:

From the chart shown we can see that the loan with a higher principal has a higher total cost than the loan with the smaller principal.

This happens because the interest rate attached affects larger figures more than smaller ones. 6.47% of $6,000 is $389 which is larger than 6.47% of $5,000 which is $324 (calculating the cost of a loan is more cumbersome than this but this shows the effect as well).

When compounded overtime, this difference will be even more and thus shows that larger principals cause larger total costs.

Marcella operates a small, but very successful art gallery. All but one of the following can be classified as a variable cost ar

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) Physical space for the gallery.

Explanation:

Variable costs fluctuate according on the production of goods of a company, while fixed costs stay the same regardless of the production output. Reviewing all the options:

Wages paid to three part-time employees vary depending on the amount of hours they work.

Accountant's fees for preparing tax returns vary depending on the time spent preparing the records.
The costs of purchasing art work to sell in the gallery vary depending on the amount of art purchased and its value.

That leaves us with option A. The physical space for the gallery. Buildings and rent are known to be a Fixed cost for companies because they stay the same regardless of the production output.
