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

zmey [24]

Answer:

a. The actual unemployment rate was higher during the recession of 1990-1991, but cyclical unemployment was higher in 2001.

Explanation:

Unemployment is defined as the number of people in a population that are willing to work and seeking for jobs but do not have employment.

Natural unemployment is defined as the normal process of leaving jobs and getting jobs in a situation when there is full employment.

Cyclical unemployment is created by recessions and booms.

Actual unemployment = Natural rate + Cyclical rate

Cyclical unemployment= Actual rate - Natural rate

In the first economy

Cyclical rate = 7 - 5.9= 1.1%

In the second economy

Cyclical rate= 6 - 4.8= 1.2%

So actual unemployment was 7% in 1990-1991 while in 2001 it was 6%

Cyclical unemployment was 1.1% in 1990-1991, while cyclical unemployment was 1.2%

geniusboy [140]

If the tax rate on nominal capital gain is 50%, how much tax does Bertha pay on her gain is: $97.

<h3>Gain</h3>

First step

Bertha's capital gain= ($220 - $200) x 10 shares

Capital gain = $200

Second step

Balance left after government took 50%

Balance left= $200 x (1 - 0.50)

Balance left= $100

Third step

Gain=$100 x (1 - 0.03)

Gain=$97

Therefore If the tax rate on nominal capital gain is 50%, how much tax does Bertha pay on her gain is: $97.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1. b. $3,400 in a mutual fund, $3,300 in bonds, and $3,300 in a land purchase

This is the most diversified because it involves equal or almost equal amounts put into separate instruments which means that a loss will be less likely to affect this portfolio because a loss affecting one instrument might not affect the rest

2. a. $10,000 in a mutual fund

This is the second most classified because Mutual funds invest in a variety of instruments so investing in Mutual funds is akin to investing in a variety of instruments.

3. c. $5,000 in one stock and $5,000 in another stock

This is the third most diversified because even though it involves investing in separate stocks, stock still generally move together in terms of performance so if one stock suffers a loss, there is a high chance the other will too.

4. d. $10,000 in one stock

This is not diversified at all because all the funds are on one instrument.
