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

A) You observe the following exchange rates in the market.
blagie [28]

Answer: i. €0.11

ii. €1.08

Explanation:

i. If we get 1 krona for every $0.13 then how many krona do we get per dollar?

= 1/0.13

= 7.69 Krona is to $1

If $1 is 7.69 Krona and $1 is also €0.85 then that means that,

€ 0.85 = 7.69 Krona

So for each Krona exchanged, we get how many Euro,

= 0.85/7.69

= 0.11

For each Krona exchanged, we get €0.11

ii. Following the example of the first question,

if £1 is to $1.12 then how many pounds are a dollar?

= 1/1.12

= 0.89

£0.89 is equal to a dollar.

if €1 is to $1.04 then how many euros are a dollar?

= 1/1.04

= 0.96

€0.96 are equal to a dollar.

This means that,

£0.89 = €0.96

So for every British Pound exchanged we get how many Euros?

= 0.96/0.89

= 1.078

= €1.08

For every British pound Exchanged, we get €1.08

Zarrin [17]

Answer: d. $45,000 should be debited to Land Improvements.

Land improvements records any moderation to land asset that is expected to add to its value and lasts for more than a year.

The paving and lighting of the parking area will add value to the area and will last longer than a year so both should go to the Land improvement account. As this account is an asset account, it will be debited when increased:

= 30,000 + 15,000

= $45,000

Orlov [11]

Answer:

c)

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this worry stems from the concern that TV networks could be charged with deception of the public by failing to disclose the details of product-placement deals. This is due to the fact that if the network does not tell the public the details of the product deals or even that they are being sponsored, then a consumer might buy the product under the impression that it is a good product when in fact, the network is up-selling it. Therefore it is a form of false advertising.
