Final answer:
The scenario uses queueing theory to model copier usage, with the probability of finding the copier idle, the average waiting time, the average number in the system, and wage costs computed using the given arrival and service rates. Deciding on leasing an additional machine requires a cost-benefit analysis considering these computations.
Explanation:
The scenario described involves the application of queueing theory, specifically using the exponential distribution to model interarrival and service times. To answer the questions, we'll first need to establish a few parameters. The average arrival rate (λ) is 5 people per hour, and the average service rate (μ) is 1 person per 8 minutes (or 7.5 people per hour).
A. The probability that a person arriving will find the machine idle is equivalent to the system being empty, which can be calculated using the formula P(0) = 1 - (λ/μ). This represents the machine's idle probability.
B. To find the average waiting time, we use the formula L = λ/(μ - λ), and then apply Little's Law, W = L/λ, to find the waiting time in the system.
C. The average number of people using or waiting to use the machine, λW, can be determined by computing the average number of people in the queue, λWq, and adding the average number in service, which is given by λ/μ when the server is busy.
D. To calculate the average cost of wages for people waiting or using the copy machine, we multiply the average number of people waiting or using the machine by the average wage rate and the length of the working day.
E. Deciding whether to lease another copying machine depends on a cost-benefit analysis comparing the combined daily cost of wages and machine lease to the cost of leasing a second machine and any potential reduction in waiting time.
An investment project is expected to earn $100,000 on average with a standard deviation of $50,000. Assume the earnings from this investment project is a normal distribution. What is the probability that you will lose money or earn nothing from this project
Answer:
probability that you will lose money is 0.0228
Explanation:
given data
mean = $100,000
standard deviation = $50,000
solution
we get here probability that annual net cash flow will be negative as earn nothing
P(x< 0) = P ( [tex]\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{0-100000}{50000}[/tex] )
and
P(x< 0) = P ( z < -2 )
P(x< 0) = 1 - P( z < 2 )
P(x< 0) = 1 - 0.9772
P(x< 0) = 0.0228
so probability that you will lose money is 0.0228

The following two errors were made in the physical inventory counts:
1. 2012 ending inventory was overstated by $33,000
2. 2013 ending inventory was understated by $28,000.
Compute the correct cost of goods sold for both 2012 and 2013.
Explanation:
Computation of cost of goods sold for the year 2016 and 2015
Particulars 2013 2012
Beginning inventory $63,000 $83,000
Cost of goods purchased $548,000 $508,000
Cost of goods available for sale $611,000 $591,000
Ending inventory (corrected) $121,000 $30,000
Cost of goods sold (corrected) $490,000 $561,000.
note:
In 2013 new ending inventory = $93,000 + $28,000 = $121,000
In 2012 new ending inventory = $63,000 - $33,000 = $30,000
Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased = Cost of goods available for sale
Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold

Stock Y has a beta of 1.8 and an expected return of 18.2 percent. Stock Z has a beta of .8 and an expected return of 9.6 percent. If the risk-free rate is 5.2 percent and the market risk premium is 6.7 percent, the reward-to-risk ratios for stocks Y and Z are
Answer:
The reward to risk ratio for stock Y is 7.22%
The reward to risk ratio for stock Z is 5.50%
Explanation:
First and foremost, it is very important to note that the reward-to-risk ratio of a stock is the risk premium paid by the stock divided by its asset Beta.
The risk premium is calculated as stock expected return minus risk free rate
The risk premium is denoted by (rm – rrf) in Capital Asset Pricing Model of Modgiliani and Miller
For stock Y risk premium is 18.2%-5.2%=13%
For stock Z risk premium is 9.6%-5.2%=4.40%
For stock Y reward to risk ratio=13%/1.8=7.22%
For stock Z reward to risk ratio=4.40%/0.8=5.50%
Hence stock Y has a higher reward to risk ratio
Answer:
Y=1.05 Z=0.91
Explanation:
We calculate the risk for the stocks first
Ry=5.2+1.8(6.7)=17.26
Rz=5.2+0.8(6.7)=10.56
Then we calculate the reward for every risk the stock takes
so Y= 18.2/17.26
=1.05
Z=9.6/10.56
=0.91
When taxes are levied on transactions, irrespective of the party they are levied on, a. The government can absorb some of the surplus, but also creates a social loss since some of the wealth creating transactions are discouraged b. The government can absorb all the consumer surplus from the transactions as revenue c. The government can absorb all of the surplus (producer and consumer) d. The government can absorb all the producer surplus from the transactions as revenue
Answer:
a. The government can absorb some of the surplus, but also creates a social loss since some of the wealth creating transactions are discouraged.
Explanation:
When a government applies tax levied to all products irrespective not the parties that are being taxed, the poor will be taxed the same way rich people are taxed. This will result in financial hardships for the portion of the population that do not have much resources. It will result in more revenue for the government.
The adverse effect of this is that the lower class will be discouraged from performing transactions that are viewed to be too expensive.
The upper class though will have no problem with this as they can easily bear the tax.
A good strategy will be to implement differential taxing where economic level of the parties performing the transaction is considered.

A town is considering investing money into making a public show in a park that can be enjoyed by families during a weekend. The show requires an investment of $950. There are 150 families, each of which is willing to pay up to $6 for the show. There are also 50 additional families each willing to pay $5 for the show. If the money is invested, there is a large capacity so that any number of families can attend, and their enjoyment will not depend on the number of attendees. (a) According to the utilitarian criterion, should the money be invested
Answer:
If 150 are willing to pay $6, amount accumulated = 150 multiply with 6= $900
If 50 family pays & $5 each, amount accumulated = 50 multiply with 5 = $250
Total = $900 + $250 = $1150.
Excess amount = $1150 - $950 = $200
(i) Yes, the money should be invested because after collection from families and investing, there is an excess fund of $200.

Carol Cagle has a repetitive manufacturing plant producing trailer hitches in Arlington, Texas. The plant has an average inventory turnover of only 12 times per year. He has therefore determined that he will reduce his component lot sizes. He has developed the following data for one component, the safety chain clip:
Setup Labor Cost: $30 / hr
Annual Holding Cost: $12 / Unit
Daily Production: 976 Units / 8 Hour Day
Annual Demand: 30,000 (250 days each x daily demand of 120 units)
Desired Lot Size: 122 units (One Hour of Production)
To obtain the desired lot size, the set-up time that should be achieved = ___ minutes (round your response to two decimal places).
Answer:
5.22 minutes
Explanation:
Given that,
Average inventory turnover = 12 times per year
Setup Labor Cost (L) = $30 / hr
Annual Holding Cost (H) = $12 / Unit
Daily Production (P) = 976 Units / 8 Hour Day
Annual Demand (D) = 30,000 (250 days each × daily demand of 120 units)
Desired Lot Size (S) = 122 units (One Hour of Production)
Setup cost:
[tex]=\frac{H(S)^{2} }{2\times Annual\ demand} \times \frac{p-Daily\ demand}{p}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{12(122)^{2} }{2\times 30,000} \times \frac{976-120}{976}[/tex]
= 2.61
Setup time:
[tex]=\frac{Setup\ cost}{Labour\ rate}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2.61}{30}[/tex]
= 0.087 hours or we can say that 5.22 minutes.
Therefore, To obtain the desired lot size, the set-up time that should be achieved = 5.22 minutes
A portfolio manager is considering adding another security to his portfolio. The correlations of the 5 alternatives available are listed below. Which security would enable the highest level of risk diversification
For diversification, one should consider adding the security with the lowest correlation coefficient in the existing portfolio. This reduces risk as low correlation indicates the price movement of these securities is less likely to be identical.
Explanation:The concept of portfolio diversification plays an essential role in minimizing risk and maximizing returns in finance. When introducing a new security to a portfolio, you should consider the correlation of the new security with the ones already present in the portfolio. To achieve the highest risk diversification, the portfolio manager should add the security with the lowest correlation coefficient to the existing ones within the portfolio. A lower correlation coefficient means the securities' prices move less in tandem, thus, if one security performs poorly, it will be offset by the performance of the other securities; this is in line with the proverb 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket'. It's also important to remember that diversification, does not eliminate all risk. It only reduces the unsystematic risk associated with individual securities.

PP.18 A "mix hedge"...(Check all that apply.)
reduces levels of expensive
FG inventory while slightly increasing component inventories
means that the sum total of component
supplies should equal the master production schedule is a planning technique which supports increased production flexibility
Answer:
A mix hedge reduces levels of expensive FG inventory while slightly increasing component inventories.
A mix hedge is a planning technique which supports increased production flexibility
Explanation:
Hedging inventory implies a level of inventory that is kept to shield against unexpected event such as breakdown of machines,strikes,surge in demand for product or non-availability of raw materials due to disruption in supplier's business.
However, mix hedge is required to ensure the right of mix of inventories at every point in time so as to avoid investing more than required resources in inventory by keeping low volume of expensive items of inventory and at the same time increasing the number of inventories kept overall,such that risk associated with inventory can be shared by a number of items of inventory instead of a single line of inventory.

Why does the explanation for the inverse relationship between the price level and quantity demanded depicted by the aggregate demand curve differ from the relationship between price and quantity demanded depicted by a demand curve for a specific good?
Answer:
Demand curve for individual goods is drawn on assumption that price changes for one good and others remain constant. But for Aggregate demand considers change in price level of multiple goods and services.
Explanation:
When considering demand curve of individual goods there is inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded of a good. The price change is pertaining to one good and the assumption is that all other good's prices remains constant and also that income level remains constant. As the price of a good Y rises quantity demanded for that good falls.
On the other hand considering aggregate demand, it looks at changes in price level. This cuts across various goods and also change in income level. So there is no assumption of price of some products being constant in aggregate demand curve. It however assumes supply of money by the government is constant.
The inverse relationship of price to quantity demanded (downward sloping curve) is affected by wealth effect, interest rate effect, and net exports effect.
Final answer:
The aggregate demand curve reflects the negative relationship between the overall price level and total demand due to the wealth effect, interest rate effect, and international trade effect, which differ from the substitution and income effects seen in individual demand curves.
Explanation:
The explanation for the inverse relationship between the price level and quantity demanded depicted by the aggregate demand curve differs from the relationship between price and quantity demanded depicted by a demand curve for a specific good due to different underlying effects. On a microeconomic demand curve, a decrease in price makes a good less expensive relative to substitutes, increasing its quantity demanded due to the substitution effect and the income effect. However, for the aggregate demand curve, the negative relationship between the price level and quantity of goods and services demanded emerges from broader macroeconomic phenomena, such as the wealth effect, the interest rate effect, and the international trade effect.
Effects Contributing to the Shape of Aggregate Demand Curve:
Wealth effect: As price levels drop, the real value of money increases, making consumers wealthier and more likely to spend, thus increasing consumption.
Interest rate effect: Lower price levels lead to lower interest rates, which encourages investment and spending and hence increases the quantity of goods and services demanded.
International trade effect: When domestic price levels fall, domestic goods become relatively cheaper than foreign goods, boosting exports and reducing imports, which supports greater aggregate demand.
These effects combined result in a rise of total spending, or aggregate demand, not merely because goods are cheaper but due to increased purchasing power, incentivized investments, and competitive exports.
Testing is used by many companies during the recruitment process. Tests could include aptitude, psychological, personality, integrity, and drug testing, to name a few. From the viewpoint of the employer, discuss the pros and cons of 4 types of tests that are used.
Personality test is an assessment that provides insight into important but intangible information about candidates such as personality, values, and work preferences.
Explanation:Pros of Personality Testing :
1, Knowing the unique information personality tests provide can help hiring managers to assess a candidate’s fit into the computer any culture.
2. Personality tests allow hiring managers to better understand how to keep individual employees engaged and motivated at work.
3. Well-designed, standardized assessments allow an organization to improve its legal defensibility by providing a fairer method of candidate comparison.
4.Personality tests can reduce the chance of putting the wrong person in the wrong role (a mistake that can be costly)
The cons of personality test:
1.Time: Personality tests can be time-consuming, which may lead to job candidate frustration or even loss to other companies.
2.Money: Personality tests can be costly to administer.
3.Accuracy: While useful for gaining behavioral insight, personality tests are not always the best indicators of how successful an individual will be in a job
4.Reliability: Candidates often answer personality tests by choosing answers they believe employers want to hear. This can make test results difficult to interpret or even invalid.

Grady gets the green shirt
Renate gets the red shirt
Blake gets the blue shirt
This matches option c, making this the efficient split. This scenario ensures that each person gets their most preferred shirt, maximizing overall utility without any compromise required from any party.
Hooray! You hit your sales number for the quarter and are awarded a $3,000 bonus. You spend $2,100 on a new living room TV and entertainment system and save the rest. What is your MPC and MPS
Answer:
0.7 and 0.3
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Awarded bonus value = $3,0000
Spending amount on a new living room = $2,100
So by considering the above information , the MPC and MPS is
As we know that
MPC = change in Consumption spending ÷ change in income
= $2,100 ÷ $3,000
= 0.7
And, the
MPC + MPS = 1
0.7 + MPS = 1
So, the MPS is 0.3

Each payment covers the interest expense plus reduces principal. Consider a 4 year loan with annual payments. The interest rate is 8%, and the principal amount is $4969. What is the annual payment? (in dollars)
Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate annual interest payment for a loan.
We proceed as follows:
Firstly, let’s assign variables as follows; let the amount of loan is P, monthly interest rate is r and term of loan is n
P = $4,979 , r = 8% =8/100 = 0.08 and n = 4 years
The equated monthly installment is mathematically =
EMI = P *r*[(1+r)^n] /[(1+r)^n -1]
EMI = 4969*0.08*[(1+0.08)^4] / [(1+0.08)^4 - 1]
EMI = 397.52*1.36/1.36048896 - 1
EMI = 540.6272/0.36048896= $1499.71 rounded to $1500
Extreme examples of unethical and illegal conduct are the exception in the business community. Which of the following statements about this behavior is false? Multiple Choice You can rely on the legal system to manage or assure ethical conduct at work. Even if illegal, few of these acts are prosecuted. Very few unethical acts are also illegal. Unethical behavior negatively affects the offending employee, coworkers, and the employer. Most unethical acts are not punished in any way.
Answer: The correct answer is "You can rely on the legal system to manage or assure ethical conduct at work.".
Explanation: The statement "You can rely on the legal system to manage or assure ethical conduct at work." is FALSE, because the legal system cannot be trusted to manage or ensure ethical conduct at work, since many unethical conduct is not illegal and cannot be punished despite the fact that it is not recommended and inconvenient and is not ethical.
The false statement is that you can rely on the legal system to manage or assure ethical conduct at work. This is due to the fact that although the legal system does deal with illegal activities, not all unethical acts are illegal, meaning that the legal system can't manage all unethical behavior.
Explanation:The false statement is: 'You can rely on the legal system to manage or assure ethical conduct at work.' While the legal system can prosecute and punish illegal acts, it's important to note that not all unethical behavior is illegal. Thus, relying solely on the legal system to manage or enforce ethical conduct is not efficient or effective.
For example, an employee gossiping about confidential information isn't considered illegal, but it is unethical. The legal system won't typically intervene in these types of scenarios. Therefore, industries often have their own ethical guidelines, or a code of conduct, which sets the standard for ethical behavior within an organization or profession.

$2,434.50
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
Net present value = Present value for next three years - initial investment
where,
Present value for next three years is
= Annual payment × PVIFA factor for 10% for 3 years
= $5,000 × 2.4869
= $12,434.50
Refer to the PVIFA table
And, the initial investment is $10,000
So, the net present value is
= $12,434.50 - $10,000
= $2,434.50
Final answer:
The Net Present Value (NPV) of the investment for Fred is -$165.75. NPV is used to assess the profitability of an investment by comparing the present value of expected cash inflows to the initial investment cost.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value (NPV) of an investment is a measure used to assess the profitability of an investment by comparing the present value of expected cash inflows to the initial investment cost. To calculate the NPV, we need to discount the cash flows using Fred's cost of capital, which is 10%.
Using the formula for NPV, we discount the cash flows of $5000 for the next three years back to their present value. The present value of cash flows can be calculated as follows:
Year 1: $5000 / (1 + 10%)^1 = $4545.45
Year 2: $5000 / (1 + 10%)^2 = $4132.23
Year 3: $5000 / (1 + 10%)^3 = $3756.57
Then, we sum up the present values of all three years' cash flows and subtract the initial investment cost of $10,000:
NPV = $4545.45 + $4132.23 + $3756.57 - $10,000 = -$165.75
Therefore, the Net Present Value of the investment for Fred is -$165.75.
You have just purchased a municipal bond with a $10,000 par value for $9,500. You purchased it immediately after the previous owner received a semiannual interest payment. The bond rate is 6.6% per year payable semiannually. You plan to hold the bond for 3 years, selling the bond immediately after you receive the interest payment. If your desired nominal yield is 5.5% per year compounded semiannually, what will be your minimum selling price for the bond?
Answer:
The investor will sale the bond as low as : 9,064.39 to achieve their 5.5% return on investment
Explanation:
To yield 5.5% then the purchase price of 9,500 should mathc the discounted value of the coupon payment and the selling price of the bonds:
[tex]9,500 = $PV of coupon payment + PV selling price[/tex]
PV o the coupon payment:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 660.00
time 3
rate 0.055
[tex]660 \times \frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-3} }{0.055} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $1,780.6360
[tex]9,500 - 1,780.64 = \frac{Sales \: Price}{(1 + rate)^{time} }\\7,719.36(1 + 0.055)^{3} = $Selling Price[/tex]
Sales price: 9,064.39
Jack and Tracy would like to have $10,000 for a down payment on a new condo. A savings account at their local credit union will pay 2% per year compounded monthly. How much should they deposit now in this account to have the down payment in 3 years
Answer:
They should deposit $4,9,02 in the account.
Explanation:
Present value is the value of future cash flow in present term. The amount received in future have more value today than in future because of opportunity of reinvestment of cash flow.
Number of periods = 3 x 12 = 36 months
Present value = Future value / ( 1 + r )^n
Present value = $10,000 / ( 1 + 0.02 )^36
Present value = $10,000 / 2.04
Present value = $4,902.23 = $4,902
In 2019, Forever Young, Inc. sold land for $ 110 comma 000 cash, purchased equipment for $ 18 comma 000 cash and issued bonds for $ 80 comma 000 cash. The Net cash provided by investing activities is: A. $ 128 comma 000. B. $ 172 comma 000. C. $ 190 comma 000. D. $ 92 comma 000.
Answer:
The Net cash provided by investing activities is $172,000.
Hence, the correct option is B. $ 172 comma 000.
Explanation:
Given:
In 2019, Forever Young, Inc. sold land for $ 110,000 cash, purchased equipment for $ 18,000 cash and issued bonds for $ 80,000 cash.
Now, to find the Net cash activities.
Land sold of cash = $110,000.
Equipment purchased of cash = $18,000.
Bonds issued of cash = $80,000.
Now, to get the Net cash activities we put formula:
Net cash activities = Land sold - Equipment purchased + Bonds issued
[tex]=110,000-18,000+80,000\\\\=110,000+62,000\\\\=172,000.[/tex]
Therefore, the Net cash provided by investing activities is $172,000.
Hence, the correct option is B. $ 172 comma 000.

Define the following terms: a. Cost of debt b. Cost of equity c. After-tax WACC d. Equity beta e. Asset beta f. Pure-play comparable g. Certainty equivalent
Answer: The answers are explained below.
Explanation:
• Cost of debt: The cost of debt is the interest rate that a company is charged on its debts. It is the interest paid on bonds, loans etc. The cost of debt is usually the before-tax cost of a debt.
• Cost of equity: The cost of equity is the return a firm pays to its equity investors e.g shareholders in order to reward them for the risk taken by investing their capital. Companies need capital to operate and grow hence, individuals and organizations who provide funds to such companies are rewarded.
• After tax WACC: The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is a firm's combined cost of capital including preferred shares, common shares, and debt after the deduction of tax.
• Equity Beta: It measures the sensitivity of the stock price to changes in market. Equity Beta is also called levered beta.
• Asset beta: It is the beta of a firm without the effect of debt. It is a company's volatility of returns without its indebtedness.
• Pure play comparable: The pure play comparable is the taking of the beta estimate of another company that is comparable and in same line of business.
• Certainty equivalent: It is the guaranteed return that an individual would take now, rather than awaiting a higher but uncertain return later in the future.
Answer:
Explanation:
A. Cost of debt: This is the rate of a company pays on its debts, such as bonds and loans. Cost of debt is one part of a company's capital structure, with the other being the cost of equity.
B. Cost of equity : This is the return a company needs to decide if an Investment meets capital return requirements.
C. After tax WACC:This is the average after tax cost of a company's various capital sources, including common stocks, preferred stocks, bonds, and any other long term debt. In other words,WACC is the average rate of a company expect to pay to finance its assets.
D. Equity beta:This measures the volatility of the stock to the market that is, how sensitive is the stock price to a change in the overall market. Equity beta is also known as levered beta.
E. Assets beta: This is also known as unlevered beta, this is a beta of a company without the impact of debt. It is also known as the volatility of returns for a company.
F. Pure play comparable :This refers to companies that are in the single line of business. It is also used to find cost of capital for a project that is different from company's mainstream business.
G. Certainty equivalent :This is a guaranteed return that someone would accept now, rather than taking a chance on higher but uncertain, return in the future.
Could I Industries just paid a dividend of $1.62 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 20 percent for the next four years and then level off to a growth rate of 4 percent indefinitely. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the dividend growth model = Do(1+g)/Ke-g
