Glam Co is hairdressing salon which provides both “cuts” and “treatments” to clientes. All cuts and treatments at the salon are carried out by one of the salon’s 3 senior stylists. The salon also has 2 salon assistants and 2 junior stylists.

Every customer attending the salon is firts seen by a salon assistant, who washes their hair; next by a senior stylist, who cuts or treats the hair depending on which service the customer wants; then finally, a junior stylist who dries their hair. The average length of time spent with each member of staff is as follows:

                                                             Cut hours                          Treatment Hours

Assistant                                                           0,1                                        0,3

Senior Stylist                                                    1,2                                        1,8

Junior Stylist                                                    0,6                                        0,5

The salon is open for eight hours each day for six days per week. It is only closed for two weeks each year. Staff salaries are $40,000 each year for each senior stylist, $28,000 each year for each junior stylist and $12,000 each year for each of the assistants. The cost of cleaning products applied when washing the hair is $1.50 per cliente. The cost of all additional products applied during a “treatment” is $7.40 per cliente. Other salon costs (excluding labour and raw materials) amount to $95,000 each year.

Glam Co charges $60 for each cut and $ 120 for each treatment.

The senior stylist time has been correctly identified as the botleneck activity.

What is the throughput accounting ratio (TPAR) for both services?

A)       Cuts = 3.69; Treatment = 3.11

B)       Cuts = 1.96; Treatment = 3.11

C)       Cuts = 1.19; Treatment = 1.51

D)       Cuts = 3.69; Treatment = 4.68

Write the output produced when the Java method declared in each of the following program segments is invoked. Assume that all necessary declarations (like a main method) are in place to produce proper output.

(a) // Method Defintion

public static int compare (int x, int y) {

if (x > y) return 1;

else if ( x < y) return -1; else return 0;

} // end compare … .

// Following are done in main

int value1 = compare (3, 5); int value2 = compare (5, 5); int value3 = compare (7, 5);

System.out.println (“Results are:” + ” ” + value1 + ” ” + value 2 + ” ” + value 3);

(b) // Method Definition

public static void mystery (int x, int y) {

double result = (x + y) / (x – y); System.out.println (“Result is: ” + result);

} // end mystery … .

// Following are done in main

mystery (10, 5);

mystery (6, 5);

88. An airport with five security check points wants to compare the mean times that passengers have to wait to get through airport security between 8AM and 9AM on Monday morning among the five check points. Data File Wait Times – PSIII gives the wait times for six randomly selected passengers arriving between 8 and 9 AM on a Monday morning at each of the check points. a.Assuming the requirements of ANOVA are satisfied, at the .05 level of significance, is there evidence of a significant difference among the mean wait times at the five checkpoints? Complete the following:1. State H0. 2. State H1. 3. State the value of α. 4. State the value of the test statistic. 5. State the p-value. 6. State the decision in terms of H0 and why.7. State the decision in terms of the problem.b.If appropriate, state which of the check points are significantly different in terms of mean wait times.c.Based on the results of part a, if a passenger has a choice and wants to minimize wait time, which check point or check points should he or she choose?

Adam and his friends Brigit, Cheryl, David, Emily, Frank, Gail, Henry, Ivan, and Juliet have two choices for weekend activities. They can either go to the local park or get together in Adam’s hot tub. The local park isn’t much fun, which means that the benefits from being there are low on the friends’ common utility scale. In fact, each of the friends receives a benefit equal to 3 “utils” from being at the park. This benefit doesn’t depend on how many of the friends go to the park. Adam’s hot tub, on the other hand, can be fun, but the benefits of using it depend on how many of the friends are present. When the tub isn’t too crowded, it’s quite enjoyable. When lots of people show up, however, the tub is decidedly less pleasant. The relationship between benefit per person (measured in utils) and the number of people in the hot tub (denoted T) is

AB = 2 + 8T – T 2, where AB denotes “average benefit”.

a) Using the above formula, compute AB for T = 1, 2, 3… 8, 9, 10. Next compute total benefit from use of the hot tub for the above T values as well as T = 0. Total benefit is just T times AB. Finally, compute marginal benefit (MB), which equals the change in total benefit from adding a person to the hot tub. , adopt the following convention:

define MB at T = T’ to be the change in total benefit when T changes from T’ – 1 to T’ (in other words, MB gives the change in total benefits from entry of the “last” person). Deviation from this convention will lead to inappropriate answers. For example, computation of MB using calculus will lead you astray given that we’re dealing with a discrete rather than continuous problem.

b) Recalling that the park yields 3 utils in benefits to each person, find the equilibrium size of the group using the hot tub. Show that (aside from the owner Adam) we can’t be sure of the identities of the other hot tub users. (Hint: In contrast to the freeway case, the relevant benefit number won’t exactly equal 3 at the equilibrium, with a similar outcome occurring in the other cases considered below.)

c) Find the optimal size of the hot tub group, and give an explanation of why it differs from the equilibrium size. Next compute the grand total of benefits for all the friends, which is the sum of total benefits for the hot tub group and total benefits for those using the park. Perform this computation for both the equilibrium and the optimal group sizes. What results show?
