Trucks arrive at the loading dock of a wholesale grocer at the rate of 1.2 per hour. A single crew consisting of two workers can load a truck in about 30 minutes. Crew members receive $10 per hour in wages and fringe benefits, and trucks and drivers reflect an hourly cost of $62. The manager is thinking of adding another member to the crew. The service rate would then be 2.4 trucks per hour. Assume rates are Poisson. a. Would the third crew member be economical? (Round your intermediate and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “$” sign in your response.) Yes because, the total cost is $ . b. Would a fourth member be justifiable if the resulting service capacity were 2.6 trucks per hour? (Round your intermediate and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “$” sign in your response.) No because, the total cost is $ .

  1. A real estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.38 a minute for daytime calls and $.18 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.48 a minute for daytime calls and $.14 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $75 with 250 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.36 per minute beyond that, day or evening. a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 150 minutes of day calls and 70 minutes of evening calls in a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “$” sign in your response.) Cost for Plan A $ Cost for Plan B $ Cost for Plan C $ c. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (Round each answer to the nearest whole number.Include the indifference point itself in each answer.) Plan A is optimal from zero to minutes. Plan C is optimal from minutes onward. d. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the “%” sign in your response.) Point percent daytime minutes
  2. Repair calls are handled by one repairman at a photocopy shop. Repair time, including travel time, is exponentially distributed, with a mean of 2.0 hours per call. Requests for copier repairs come in at a mean rate of 2.1 per eight-hour day (assume Poisson). a. Determine the average number of customers awaiting repairs. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Number of customers b. Determine system utilization. (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent. Omit the “%” sign in your response.) System utilization % c. Determine the amount of time during an eight-hour day that the repairman is not out on a call. (Use your rounded answer from Part b. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Amount of time hours d. Determine the probability of two or more customers in the system. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability
  3. Timely Transport provides local delivery service for a number of downtown and suburban businesses. Delivery charges are based on distance and weight involved for each delivery: 34 cents per pound and 29 cents per mile. Also, there is a $39 handling fee per parcel. a. Develop an expression that summarizes delivery charges. (Enter your answers as dollar amounts to 2 decimal places (x1 = weight, x2 = distance). Omit the “$” sign in your response.) y = $ x1 + $ x2 + $ b. Determine the delivery charge for transporting a 49-pound parcel 29 miles. (Do not round your intermediate calculation. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “$” sign in your response.) y = $
