Assume that 2 employees work the ticket booths and 8 employees work the concession stand.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a) utilization is

= customer per hour ÷ number of booths × service rate

For ticket counter

= 180 ÷  2 ×  (1 ÷ .75)

= 180 ÷  2 × 1.33

= 67.67

= 68 %

For  refreshment counter

= 180 × 0.85 ÷  8 × (1 ÷ 3)

= 153 ÷  2.64

= 57.95

= 58%

b)capacity is

= no. of resources ÷ processing time

= 2+8 ÷ 45+180

= 10 ÷ 225

= 0.044

= 0.04 customer per second

= 144 customer per hour

The flow rate of customer per hour is 144 customer

c) 1 resource added to ticket booth is

= 11 ÷ 225

= 0.048

= 176 customer per hour

Answer:

5.84%    

Explanation:

We use the RATE function that is shown in the excel. Kindly find the attachment below:

The NPER shows the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $45

Future value or Face value = $47

PMT = $2

NPER = 3

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)    

So, the annual compound rate of return is 5.84%

Explanation:

When I was in school grade 9, I had my first interaction with a robot during a visit to technology expo since then I could not think of anything else but to awe for exploring the fascinating world of robots.

I didn't had much resources to buy tools and components to build robots but still my passion kept me motivated and I found my way to get hands on scrap parts available at the various spots in my locality. Slowly and gradually, I kept learning and building robots and by the time I was in my high school, I had already won 3 major school competitions and received tremendous amount of recognition. Due to my outstanding performance, I was awarded with merit scholarship for the college.

In college, I continued my handwork and kept myself busy in exploring the depth of robotics. I had the pleasure of working on a big project funded by a our college. The project was to build a search and rescue quad-copter. Honestly speaking, it was not easy! I worked day and night tirelessly, and finally after 6 months I successfully built the quad-copter.

My goal is to become an inventor in the field of robotics. Building such robots that can make a difference in our lives and help humanity to grow and thrive. I believe that engineering program at Princeton encourages such passion and vision and would be a great learning platform for me to showcase my talent and skills.

natita [175]

Answer:

The disposal resulted was at D. No gain or loss

Explanation:

The gain or loss on disposal on a fixed asset is calculated by comparing the sales proceeds from disposing off the asset and the carrying value of the asset.

The carrying value of the asset is its net book value which is calculated as follows,

Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

If the carrying value is equal to the sales proceeds from disposal, there is no gain or loss.

The carrying value of copy machine was = 45000  -  44000  =  $1000

The sales proceeds were also $1000

Thus, gain/loss on disposal = 1000 - 1000 = $0

Thus, there was no gain or loss on disposal.
