Suppose an average of 240 trucks arrive each day, there are fourfour wellhead pumps, and each pump can serve an average of 3 trucks per hour. What is the probability that exactly 10trucks will arrive between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any given day? How likely is it that once a truck is in position at a wellhead, the filling time will be less than 15 minutes? The probablity that 1010 trucks will arrive between 22:00 p.m. and 44:00 p.m. is .58%. The probability that the filling time for the truck being served will be less than 15 minutes is ___%

Assume that the traffic to the web site of Smileys People, Inc., which sells customized T-shirts, follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 4.5 million visitors per day and a standard deviation of 820,000 visitors per day. a. What is the probability that the web site has fewer than 5 million visitors in a single day? b. What is the probability that the web site has 3 million or more visitors in a single day? c. What is the probability that the web site has between 3 million and 4 million visitors in a single day? d. Assume that 85% of the time, the Smileys People web servers can handle the daily web traffic volume without purchasing additional server capacity. What is the amount of web traffic that will require Smileys People to purchase additional server capacity?
A landfill has a first cost of $274,000. Actual operating and maintenance costs for the first year will be $48,000. and increase each year by 10%. Expected income for the landfill will be $142,000 each year in actual dollars. The landfill will be operating for 10 years. Inflation will average 5.4%, and a real return of 3.1% is desired. What is the present worth of this project using: a. A then-current (actual dollar) analysis. $ Round entry to two decimal places. The tolerance is ±20. b. A constant dollar analysis. $ Round entry to two decimal places. The tolerance is ±20.
An oil well is currently producing 30 bbl/day under natural flow (active water drive). The analysis of inflow performance curve reveals that installing an electrical submersible pump at a cost of $50,000 will increase the production to 35 bbl/day. It is expected that, under natural flow the production will continue at the same rate over a period of 15 years. If we use an electrical submersible pump, the production will continue only for eight years and the salvage value is $5,000. If we assume that the net revenue under natural flow conditions is $20/bbl and the net revenue with electrical submersible pumps is $15/bbl, which option is preferable? Assume the MROR to be 12%.
Currently, it takes five days from the time customers mail payments until Shark Bait Rafts (SBR) deposits them. SBR would like to set up a lockbox collection system that would reduce this collection float by three days. If SBR receives an average of $2,800 in payments per day and its opportunity cost is 16 percent, how much should SBR be willing to pay each month for the lockbox system? Show work please.
A distribution center wants to evaluate an alternative product tracking system. The system has an initial cost of $500,000 and a useful life of 7 years. The operating cost is estimated to be $550 per metric ton of product moved per day. The center can handle between 30 and 50 tons per day. Analyze the sensitivity of the PW to changes in a 10-metric-ton increment of product moved. Use an interest rate of 3% per year and 200 days of work per year. Find the PW of 3 options.
The manager of a large apartment complex knows from experience that 110 units will be occupied if the rent is 360 dollars per month. A market survey suggests that, on the average, one additional unit will remain vacant for each 10 dollar increase in rent. Similarly, one additional unit will be occupied for each 10 dollar decrease in rent. (a) If æ is the number of units rented, and p is the rent per unit in dollars, what is the price-demand equation (assuming it is linear)? p = (b) What is the monthly revenue function for the manager? (Hint: Revenue is the product of the price per item and the number of items.) R(x) = (c) How many apartment units should be rented to maximize the monthly revenue? apartment units
A Hilti PP11 pipe laser can be mounted inside or on top of a pipe, a tripod, or in a manhole to provide fast and accurate positioning and alignment of pipe sections. Jordon Construction is building a 23-mile pipeline through the desert to dispose of reverse osmosis concentrate by injection into a fractureddolomite formation. The PP11 laser can reduce construction costs through time savings by $9000 per month. What is the projected future worth of the savings over 2 years, if they start 1 month from now and the interest rate is 1% per month?

Suppose that you have just completed the mechanical design of a high-speed automated palletizer that has an investment cost of $3,000,000. The existing palletizer is quite old and has no salvage value. The market value for the new palletizer is estimated to be $300,000 after seven years. One million pallets will be handled by the palletizer each year during the seven-year expected project life. What net savings per pallet (i.e., total savings less expenses) will have to be generated by the palletizer to justify this purchase in view of a MARR of 20% per year?

A conveyor system costs $110,000 to install. The salvage value of the conveyor system decreases by $20,000 each year until its salvage value is $0, at which point it no longer decreases. The cost to operate and maintain the conveyor system the first year is $20,000; this cost increases by 7% per year.
