Degger [83]

Answer:

12.55 days

Explanation:

Provided information

Number of employees 2

Average production time=1.8 days

Standard deviation=2.7 days

Inter-arrival time= 1 day

Coefficient of variation= 1 day

Standard deviation of inter-arrival time= 1 day

The coefficient of variations

Inter-arrival coefficient of variation

$C_{vi}=\frac {\sigma}{T}$ where $\sigma$ is standard deviation of inter-arrival time, T is inter-arrival time and $C_v$ is coefficient of variation of inter-arrival time

$C_{vi}=\frac {1 day}{1 day}=1$

Production time coefficient of variation

$C_{vp}=\frac {2.7}{1.8}=1.5$

Total utilization time

$U=\frac {T}{n*T_i}$ where T is the time of production, n is number of employees, U is utilization, $T_i$ is inter-arrival time

$U=\frac {1.8}{2*1}=0.9$

Therefore, utilization time by 2 employees is 0.9

Expected average waiting time

$T_e=(\frac {T}{n*T_i})*0.5(C_{vi}^{2}+C_{vp}^{2})*(\frac{U^{\sqrt{2(n+1)}-1}}{1-U})$

Where $T_e$ is expected average waiting time and the other symbols as already defined

Substituting 1.5 for $C_{vp}$ , 1 for $C_{vi}$ , 0.9 for U, 2 for n, 1 for $T_i$ and 1.8 for T

$T_e=(\frac {1.8}{2*1})*0.5(1^{2}+1.5^{2})*(\frac{0.9^{\sqrt{2(2+1)}-1}}{1-0.9})$

$T_e=0.9*1.625*8.583709=12.55367 days$ and rounding off to 2 decimal places we obtain 12.55 days

Therefore, expected duration between order received and beginning of production is approximately 12.55 days

Last year Ann Arbor Corp had $250,000 of assets (which equals total invested capital), $305,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income,

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

8.32%

Explanation:

The computation of cost reduction improve the ROE is shown below:-

For computing the increase in ROE first we need to follow some steps which is here below:-

Debt = capital × Debt

= $250,000 × 37.5%

= $93,750

Equity = Assets - Debt

= $250,000 - $93,750

= $156,250

New ROE = New Net income ÷ Equity

= $33,000 ÷ $156,250

= 21.12%

Old ROE = Old Net income ÷ Equity

= $20,000 ÷ $156,250

= 12.8%

Increase in ROE = New ROE- Old ROE

= 21.12% - 12.8%

= 8.32%
