Pete's Market is a small local grocery store with only one checkout counter. Assume that shoppers arrive at the checkout lane ac

cording to a Poisson probability distribution, with an arrival rate of 18 customers per hour. The checkout service times follow an exponential probability distribution, with a service rate of 20 customers per hour. It is the manager's service goal to limit the waiting time prior to beginning the checkout process to no more than five minutes. After reviewing the waiting line analysis of his store, the manager of Pete's Market wants to consider one of the following alternatives for improving service.
Required:
Hire a second person to bag the groceries while the cash register operator is entering the cost data and collecting money from the customer. With this improved single-server operation, the service rate could be increased to 30 customers per hour.

When using the cost of production report to analyze the change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit compared to conversi
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: a.may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs.

Explanation:

When the cost of production report is being used to analyze change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit when compared to the conversion cost per equivalent unit, we should note that an investigation may end up showing that the fluctuation in the the direct materials costs which then brings about an increase or a decrease.

Therefore, the correct option is A "may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs".

Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the sa
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is  less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

<u>(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]  </u>

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>1.21 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>0.77 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.
