RentAPhone is a new service company that provides European mobile phones to American visitors to Europe. The company currently h

as 80 phones available at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. There are, on average, 25 customers per day requesting a phone. These requests arrive uniformly throughout the 24 hours the store is open. The corresponding coefficient of variation is 1.
Customers keep their phones on average 72 hours. The standard deviation of this time is 100 hours. Given that RentAPhone currently does not have a competitor in France providing equally good service, customers are willing to wait for the telephones. Yet, during the waiting period, customers are provided a free calling card. Based on prior experience, RentAPhone found that the company incurred a cost of $1 per hour per waiting customer, independent of day or night.
a. What is the average number of telephones the company has in its store?
b. How long does a customer, on average, have to wait for the phone?
c. What are the total monthly (30 days) expenses for telephone cards?
d. Assume RentAPhone could buy additional phones at $1,000 per unit. Is it worth it to buy one additional phone? Why?
e. How would waiting time change if the company decides to limit all rentals to exactly 72 hours? Assume that if such a restriction is imposed, the number of customers requesting a phone would be reduced to 20 customers per day.

Answer:

Answer:- m = 80

a = 24 hours / 25 customers = 0.96 hours

p = 72 hours

u = p/(m x a) = 72 /(80×0.96)=0.9375

On average 93.75% of the phones are in use. 0.9375 x 80 = 75 phones are in use. Thus, 5 phones are available on average.

From above it is clear that 93.75%% of total phones are in use therefore total number of cell phones in use = 0.9375*80=75

So only 5 phones are available.

Answer:- CVa =1, CVp = 100/72 = 1.3889

Tq =( 72/80*[(0.9375 √2*80+1)-1]/(1-0.9375) * (12+1.88892)/2) = 9.89 hour

Thus average waiting time = 9.89 hours

Explanation:

Answer:- m = 80

a = 24 hours / 25 customers = 0.96 hours

p = 72 hours

u = p/(m x a) = 72 /(80×0.96)=0.9375

On average 93.75% of the phones are in use. 0.9375 x 80 = 75 phones are in use. Thus, 5 phones are available on average.

From above it is clear that 93.75%% of total phones are in use therefore total number of cell phones in use = 0.9375*80=75

So only 5 phones are available.

Answer:- CVa =1, CVp = 100/72 = 1.3889

Tq =( 72/80*[(0.9375 √2*80+1)-1]/(1-0.9375) * (12+1.88892)/2) = 9.89 hour

Thus average waiting time = 9.89 hours

QveST [7]

Answer: In order to answer this, we must first add the options. They are as follows:

A. Am I acting fairly?

B. Is it balanced?

C. How will it make me feel about myself?

D. Will it help me further my career?

E. Is it legal?

The correct option is D. Will it help me further my career. This is a question that should NOT be asked when facing an ethical dilemma.

Explanation:

Ethics are moral principal that guide one's actions and attitudes. Now, all the options above can be properly weighed using ethical standards.

An Ethical dilemma is a situation in which a choice must be made between two options, neither of which will resolve the situation in an ethically acceptable manner.

We will analyze the options one after the other.

Let us start with option A. Am I acting fairly?

When faced with an ethical dilemma, one good question to ask is if an individual is acting fairly, that is, are they acting according to accepted ethical standards? If one's actions go contrary to ethics, then they should probably not undertake such an action. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option B. Is it balanced?

Balance here talks about equality. In this case this question looks at whether the action will favour one party over another, or if it will favour everyone equally. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option C. How will it make me feel about myself?

This question looks at the after effect of an action, if the action will make you feel good or bad about yourself later on. If the action will make you feel good, then it should be undertaken, but if it will make you feel bad, it should not be undertaken. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option D. Will it help me further my career? (Correct option)

This is a wrong question to ask when experiencing an ethical dilemma because it is not a question about ethics or morals, only career advancement, and it does not focus on the right or wrong of an action. Also, this is a selfish question to ask and it does not take into consideration the effect that the action will have on others. This question should therefore, NOT BE ASKED, because it is not a proper reflection of one's ethics.

Option E. Is it legal?

This question looks at the legality of an action, therefore illegal actions should not be undertaken, while legal actions should be pursued. This is a question that SHOULD BE ASKED.

If sales are $540,000, expenses are $440,000 and dividends are $50,000, what is the balance of income Summary prior to closing?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

d. It will have a credit balance of $100,000.

Explanation:

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

So, the balance of income summary equals to

= Sales - expenses

= $540,000 - $440,000

= $100,000

The dividend should be deducted from the retained earning account. Hence, it will not be consider here

etermine the degree of operating leverage for each approach at current sales levels. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.
viktelen [127]

Answer: $1,376,000.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to assist us in solving this question effectively;

(1). The current approach and automated approach for Contribution Margin Ratio is 25 % and 50 % respectively.

(2). The current approach and automated approach for Break-even point in Sales Dollar is $ 1,248,000 and $ 1,312,000 respectively.

(3). The current approach and automated approach for Degree of Operating Leverage is 4.18 and 5 respectively.

(4). The current and automated approach for Decline in net income for a 10 % decline in sales is 41.8 % and 50 %.

(5). The current and automated approach for level of Sales where net income will be same under both options is $ 1,376,000 and $ 1,376,000 Respectively.

(6). The current approach and automated approach for Margin of Safety Ratio is 24% and 20% respectively.

Note that;

(1). BP = TFC / CMR

Where BP= Break-even point in sales dollar, TFC = Total Fixed Cost and CMR= Contribution Margin Ratio.

(2). MSR = ( ASD - BSD) / ASD × 100.

Where MSR= Margin of Safety Ratio,ASD=Actual Sales dollars, BSD= Break-even Sales dollars , and ASD = Actual Sales dollars.

(3). CMR = CM ÷ Sales × 100.

CMR = Contribution margin ratio, CM =Contribution Margin.

(4). DOL = CM ÷ NI.

Where DOL = Degree of Operating Leverage, CM = Contribution Margin and NI = Net Income.

Decline in net income for a 10 % decline in sales = OL x 10.

Where OL => Operating Leverage.

We then say that V = level of sales.

=> V x 25 % - 312,000 = V x 50 % - 656,000.

=> 0.25 V = 344,000.

V = $ 1,376,000.
