RideShare offers short-term rentals of vehicles that are kept in small lots in urban neighborhoods with plenty of potential cust

omers. With one lot, it has six cars. The interarrival time of potential demand for this lot from its base of customers is 20 minutes. The average rental period is 4 hours. If a customer checks availability of vehicles in this lot online and finds that they are all rented for the desired time, the customer skips renting and finds alternative arrangements. However, because customers pay a monthly fee to subscribe to this service, RideShare does not want customers to be disappointed too often.
Required:
a. What is the offered load?
b. What is the implied utilization?
c. What is the capacity of the process (rentals per hour)?
d. What is the probability that all eight cars are rented at the same time?

Answer:

a. Offered load = 1 lot / 4 hours = 6 cars/4 hours = 1.5 cars/hours

b. Demand rate = Total cars per 4 hours/20 minutes time

Demand rate = 6*4 / 20

Demand rate = 24/20

Demand rate = 1.2 cars/hours

Implied utilization = Demand rate / Offered load

Implied utilization = 1.2/1.5

Implied utilization = 0.8

Implied utilization = 80%

c. Capacity of the process = 1 lot / 5 hours

Capacity of the process = 6 / 5

Capacity of the process = 1.2 rentals per hours

d. Probability that all eight cars are rented at the same time

=> (1 - 0.8) * (0.8)^8

=> 0.2 * 0.1678

=> 0.03356

=> 3.36

During the year, Trombley Incorporated has the following inventory transactions.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a. Ending inventory = $162, Cost of Sales = $593, Gross Profit = $478

b. Ending inventory = $227, Cost of Sales = $528, Gross Profit = $543

c. Ending inventory = $492.30, Cost of Sales = $557.94 , Gross Profit = $513.06

d. FIFO

Explanation:

FIFO

Ending inventory = 18 units × $9   = $162

                                Total               = $162

Cost of Sales = 11 units × $13 = $143

                         16 units × $12= $192

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                           3 units × $9 = $27

                         Total              = $593

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $593

                   = $1,071 - $593

                   = $478

LIFO

Ending inventory = 11 units × $13    = $143

                                 7 units × $12   =  $84

                                 Total               = $227

Cost of Sales = 9 units × $12 = $108

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                         21 units × $9 = $189

                         Total              = $528

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $528

                   = $1,071 - $528

                   = $543

Weighted-average cost

First determine the average cost.

Average cost = Total Cost / Total units

                      = $ 755 / 69

                      = $10.94

Ending inventory = Units Remaining × Average Price

                             = 45 units × $10.94

                             = $492.30

Cost of Sales = Units Sold × Average Cost

                      = 51 units × $10.94

                      = $557.94

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $557.94

                   = $1,071.00 - $557.94

                   = $513.06

True or false: forecasts are set on the marketing budget detail spreadsheet.
Sladkaya [172]
The statement above is true. Forecasting is the utilization of notable information to decide the heading of future patterns. Organizations use estimating to decide how to apportion their financial plans or plan for expected costs for an up and coming timeframe. This is regularly in view of the anticipated interest in the products and ventures they offer.

"Parker Company stock is currently selling for $130.00 per share and the firm's dividends are expected to grow at 6 percent inde
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 10.7%

Explanation:

<em>We will work out the required rate of return using the the dividend valuation model. The model states that the value of a stock is the present value of the future divided discounted at the cost of equity. </em>

The model is given below:

P = D× (1+g)/(r-g)

P- price of stock, D- dividend payable now, g- growth rate in dividend, r- cost of equity

So we substitute  

130 = 5.50× (1+r)/(r-0.06)

cross multiplying

(r-0.06)× 130 = 5.50 × (1+r)

130 r- 7.8  = 5.50 + 5.50r

collecting like terms

130 r - 5.50r=5.50 + 7.8

124.5  r= 13.3

Divide both sides by 124.5

r =13.3 /124.5=  0.1068

r=0.1068 × 100=  10.7%

Cost of equity = 10.7%
