Answer:

setup cost = $1.75

setup time = 2.625 min

Explanation:

given data

The firm operates for 250 days annually.

Annual demand is 22,000.

Daily demand is 88.

Daily production stands at 250.

Desired lot size is set at 63 (equivalent to 2 hours of output).

Holding costs are $40 per unit each year.

To determine

the setup cost and setup time

solution

The setup cost is calculated as

setup cost = ......................1

Here, Q represents the desired lot size, H is the holding cost, d denotes daily demand, D is annual demand, and p is the daily output.

Plugging in the values,

setup cost =

setup cost =

setup cost = $1.75

Next,

the setup time is given by

setup time = ....................2

setup time =

setup time = 2.625 min

Answer:

Net Present Value = $ 34,310.45  

Explanation:

The Net Present Value (NPV) represents the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows. A positive NPV indicates a favorable investment decision, while a negative value suggests otherwise.

NPV of a project

NPV = Present Value of Cash inflows - Present Value of Cash outflow  

The cash inflow is characterized as an annuity.

Present Value of annuity= A × 1 - (1+r)^(-n)/r  

A refers to Annual cash flow, - 65,000, r is the discount rate at 12%, and the term is 5 years.

Calculation for Present Value of cash inflow equals 65,000 × (1 - (1.12)^(-5)/0.12) =  234,310.45.

The initial investment is 200,000.

Thus, the Net Present Value calculation is  -  234,310.45  -200,000 = 34,310.45  

Net Present Value = $ 34,310.45  

Answer:

Part a:

Show the probability density function for the waiting times at Kroger, assuming they are exponentially distributed.

Solution:

Probability density function f(x) = (1/ )*e-x/  = (1/26)*e-x/26 (result)

Part b:

Calculate the probability that a customer waits between 15 and 30 seconds.

Solution:

0.2462

Part c:

Determine the probability that a customer must wait longer than 2 minutes.

Solution:

0.0099

Explanation:

All calculations are included.

Answer: The result is -2.42

Explanation:

P1 = $4 Q1 = 800

P2 = $4.50 Q2 = 600

Applying the midpoint formula, we calculate:

For price:

P2 - P1/(P2 + P1)/2

= 4.5 - 4/(4.5 + 4)/2

= 0.5/4.25

= 0.12

For quantity:

Q2 - Q1/(Q2 + Q1)/2

= 600 - 800/(600 + 800)/2

= -200/700

= -0.29

The price elasticity of demand is calculated as change in quantity/change in price

= -0.29/0.12

= -2.42.
