What is the probability that therebeate klingenberg manages a poughkeepsie, new york, movie theater complex called cinema 8. each of the eight auditoriums plays a different film; the schedule staggers starting times to avoid the large crowds that would occur if all 8 movies started at the same time. the theater has a single ticket booth and a cashier who can maintain an average service rate of 300 patrons per hour. service times are assumed to follow an exponential distribution. arrivals on a normally active day are poisson distributed and average 210 per hour. to determine the efficiency of the current ticket operation, beate wishes to examine several queue- operating characteristics.

a) find the average number of moviegoers waiting in line to purchase a ticket.

b) what percentage of the time is the cashier busy?

c) what is the average time that a customer spends in the system?

d) what is the average time spent waiting in line to get to the ticket window?

e) what is the probability that there are more than two people in the system?

what is the probability that there are more than three people in the system ?

what is the probability that there are more than four people in the system?

Zachary company produces commercial gardening equipment. since production is highly automated, the company allocates its overhead costs to product lines using activity-based costing. the costs and cost drivers associated with the four overhead activity cost pools follow: activities unit level batch level product level facility level cost $ 64,800 $ 27,730 $ 15,000 $ 154,000 cost driver 2,400 labor hrs. 47 setups percentage of use 11,000 units production of 780 sets of cutting shears, one of the company’s 20 products, took 240 labor hours and 7 setups and consumed 15 percent of the product-sustaining activities. required: (a) had the company used labor hours as a company wide allocation base, how much overhead would it have allocated to the cutting shears? (b) how much overhead is allocated to the cutting shears using activity-based costing? (c) compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 780 units are produced. if direct product costs are $150 and the product is priced at 30 percent above cost for what price would the product sell under each allocation system? (d) assuming that activity-based costing provides a more accurate estimate of cost, indicate whether the cutting shears would be over- or underpriced if direct labor hours are used as an allocation base. explain how over-or undercosting can affect vaulker's profitability. (e) comment on the validity of using the allocated facility-level cost in the pricing decision. should other costs be considered in a cost- plus pricing decision? if so, which ones? what costs would you include if you were trying to decide whether to accept a special order?
