Office Equipment, Inc.: Waiting Line Model With A Finite Calling Population M/M/1

Office Equipment, Inc. analyzes a waiting line model with Poisson arrivals, exponential service times, and a finite calling population of 20 customers. With 1 server and an arrival rate of 0.02 and service rate of 0.4, the probability of no customers in the system is 0.1589 and the average total cost per hour is $397.7839.
