Answer:

The ratio of callers on hold for more than 2.8 minutes is 0.3679

Explanation:

μ = 2.8, λ = 1/2.8,

Using the exponential distribution:

P(x>k) = exp(-λk)

          = exp(-2.8/2.8)

          = 0.3679

Thus, the fraction of callers who are placed on hold for over 2.8 minutes is 0.3679

Response:

Minimum selling price= $28

Reasoning:

Based on the information provided:

Direct materials $8

Direct labor $9

Variable manufacturing costs= $7

Landor has received a special order for 25,000 fans destined for an overseas buyer.

The only incurred selling cost for this order will be $4 per fan for shipping.

Given that this is a special request and there is available capacity, fixed costs will not be considered in this analysis.

The minimum price needed equals the total variable cost per unit. It is not a sustainable price long-term.

Variable cost per unit= 8 + 9 + 7 + 4= $28
