The reservation office for Central Airlines has two agents answering incoming phone calls for flight reservations. A caller can be put on hold until one of the agents is available to take the call. If all three phone lines (both agent lines and the hold line) are busy, a potential customer gets a busy signal, in which case the call is lost. All calls occur randomly (i.e., according to a Poisson process) at a mean rate of 15 per hour. The length of a telephone conversation has an exponential distribution with a mean of 4 minutes.
(a)Construct the rate diagram for this queueing system.
(b) Find the steady-state probability that: (Show every calculation)
1. A caller will get to talk to an agent immediately.
2. The caller will be put on hold, and
3. The caller will get a busy signal.

Your company is undertaking a new project. A building was purchased 10 years ago for $750,000 depreciated straight line to $150,000 (the land value) over 30 years. It is now worth $500,000 (including $150,000 land). The project requires improvements to the building of $100,000. The improvements are depreciated straight line to zero over the life of the project. The project will generate revenues of $325,000, $350,000, $375,000 and $400,000 for years 1-4, respectively. Annual cash operating expenses are $80,000, $100,000, $120,000 and $140,000, respectively. The project will last 4 years, at which time the building will be sold for $600,000. Taxes are 40% and rate of return is 10%. Using Excel, prepare a spreadsheet and upload

An electronics company is engaged in the manufacture of two
components “Registers”
and “Diodes” used in telecom tower sets. Each unit of “Register”
and “Diode” costs the
company Rs.6 and Rs.26 in wages and Rs.7 and Rs.17 in materials
respectively.
The company sells both the products on two-period credit terms but
the company’s labour and
material expenses must be paid in cash. The selling price per unit
of Register is Rs.40 and per
unit of Diode is Rs.90. Due to the strong monopoly of the company
for these components, it is
believed that the company can sell as many units as it produces at
the prevailing prices.
The company’s production capacity is limited by two considerations:
-
At the beginning of Period, the company has an initial balance of
Rs.18000.
The company has an available 2500 hours of machine time and 1800
hours of assembly
time.
The production of each unit of Register requires 4 hours of machine
time, and two hours of
assembly time. Whereas, the production of each unit of Diode
requires 3 hours of machine time
and four hours of assembly time. Formulate the LPP. And find the
optimal solution.

Black Mountain Ski Resort has been granted a 20 - year permit to develop and operate a skiing operation in a national park. After 20 years the site must be returned to its original condition. The roads may remain, as they can be used for fire prevention purposes. In the spring and summer before the ski hill opened, the following transactions and events occurred:
You must use the following Long-Lived asset accounts
Ski Lift
Ski Chalet
Land improvement
Roads
Parking lot
Using Straight Line Depreciation record the depreciation for the first year of operations on the Long-Lived assets and site restoration costs. Put all the depreciation expense in one account and then create accumulated depreciation accounts for each asset that requires depreciation.
Allocate the interest expense on the site restoration costs for the first three years
Using the table below prepare the balance sheet presentation of all the accounts involved in this question for the end of the third year of operations.

SmokeCity, Inc., manufactures barbeque smokers. Based on past experience, SmokeCity has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = $603,000 + $1.35X, where X equals number of smokers. Last year, SmokeCity produced 22,500 smokers. Actual overhead costs for the year were as expected.

There are two traffic lights on a commuter's route to and from work. Let X1 be the number of lights at which the commuter must stop on his way to work, and X2 be the number of lights at which he must stop when returning from work.
