Answer:

  • Yes it is.
  • Ethical issue ⇒ Insider Trading.

Explanation:

Trading on the stock exchange is supposed to be as fair as possible so that every investor has a fair chance of making returns. If a person - like this supervisor - is using information that is material but not publicly disclosed yet to trade on markets, the fairness of the market is compromised because the person will have an edge over other investors which will enable them make unfair profits.

Information on quarterly returns is usually material so we can expect it to be material here as well which means that the supervisor is engaged in insider trading.

Insider trading is not only unethical but also highly illegal. Reporting your supervisor can get them sent to jail.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A) Single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

\lambda=2.5 \,customers/hour\\\\\mu=6\,customers/hour

B) The goal is not met, as the average time waiting for service is 5.56 minutes.

C) The new mean service rate is 7.5 customers/hour.

In this case, the average time waiting for service is 4 minutes, so the goal is met.

Explanation:

A) This situation can be modeled as a single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

The mean arrival rate is 2.5 customers per hour.

\lambda=2.5 \,customer/h

The mean service rate is 6 customers per hour, calculated as:

\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{10 \,min/customer}=6\, customer/h

B) The average waiting time for a customer can be expressed as:

W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda}  =\frac{2.5}{6}\frac{1}{6-2.5} =0.417*0.222=0.093\,hours\\\\W_q=0.093\,hours*(60min/h)=5.56 \,min

The average waiting time is 5.56 minutes, so it is more than the goal of 5 minutes.

C) If the average time spent per customer to 8 minutes, the mean service rate becomes

\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{8 \,min/customer}=7.5\, customer/h

An the average waiting time for the service now becomes:

W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda}  =\frac{2.5}{7.5}\frac{1}{7.5-2.5} =0.333*0.2=0.067\,hours\\\\W_q=0.067\,hours*(60min/h)=4 \,min

The average time is now 4 minutes, so the goal is achieved.

natima [27]

Answer:

Shares of Winston, Inc. Stock

The total percentage return on this investment is:

= -11.25%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase cost = $22,760 (400 * $56.90)

Quarterly dividends received = $440 (400 * $0.55) * 2

Sales price = $19,760 (400 * $49.40)

Total cash receipts from the investment = $20,200 ($440 + $19,760)

Total returns from the investment = -$2,560

Total percentage return on the investment = -$2,560/$22,760 * 100

= -11.25%

b) There is a loss of value on the investment amounting to $2,560, which is 11.25%.  The investment actually yielded a negative return.
