On Saturday mornings, an average of 6.8 customers arrive per hour. The customers arrive randomly at a constant rate throughout the morning, and a salesperson spends an average of one hour with a customer. Ms. McNeil's experience has led her to conclude that if there are two more customers on her lot than can be served at any time…arrow_forwardSven makes rocking chairs for a cost of $75 each, and he sells the rocking chairs for a market price of $130 each. Deidre is willing to pay $200 for a rocking chair. However, the government believes that rocking chair manufacturers should receive more money, and set the lowest legal price rocking chairs can be sold for at $250. At the market price, Sven is willing to sell a rocking chair to Deidre, and Deidre is willing to buy a rocking chair from Sven. Unfortunately, with the new legal minimum, Sven and Deidre cannot trade with one another, and miss out on additional gains from trade.
