8) The failure rates of transistors in a computer are summarized in the following table. End of week 1 3 4. 5 Probability of failure to date 0.09 0.17 0.27 0.50 0.65 0.90 1.00 The cost of replacing an individual failed transistor is $8. If all the transistors are replaced simultaneously, it would cost $4 per transistor. Any one of the following two options can be followed to replace the transistors: I (a) Replace the transistors individually when they fail (individual replacement policy). (b) Replace all the transistors simultaneously at fixed intervals and replace the individual transistors as they fail in service during the fixed interval (Group replacement policy). Find out which is the optimal replacement policy, i.e. the individual replacement policy or the group replacement policy. If the group replacement policy is optimal, then find at what equal intervals should all the transistors be replaced.

! Required information An airport Baggage Handing Department has evaluated two proposals for baggage delivery conveyor systems. A present worth analysis at i = 15% per year of estimated revenues and costs resulted in PWA = $460,000 and PWB = $395,000. In addition to this economic measure, three more attributes were independently assigned a relative importance score from 0 to 100 by the department manager and a senior team supervisor. Importance Scores Manager 45 Attribute Economics Durability Safety Maintainability 35 30 20 Attribute Economics Durability Safety Maintainability Separately, you have used the four attributes to value rate the two proposals on a scale of 0 to 1.0 as shown in the following table.

(Q1) Many software companies, after years of providing unlimited free telephone technical support for their products, began to charge for these services (typically after an initial start-up period of 90 days). Most companies offer two pricing plans. For instance, Lotus Development offers users of their spreadsheet software the option of paying either (i) $2.00 per minute for telephone support or (ii) a $129 flat charge for a year of unlimited toll-free calls. Question 1: Consider a customer with a yearly (expected) demand for service support of P = 11 – 0.1Q, where P is the price per minute and Q is the number of minutes of calls made per year. How many calls would this customer make under plan (i)? Why? How many calls would he or she make under plan (ii)? What would be the annual cost to this customer under each plan? Explain your answer. Question 2: Which plan would this customer choose? Explain your answer.
A-Z Technologies, a manufacturer of amplified pressure transducers, is trying to decide between a dual-speed and a variable-speed machine. The engineers are not sure about the salvage value of the variable speed machine, so they have asked several different used-equipment dealers for estimates. The results can be summarized as follows: there is a 35% chance of getting $18,000, a 41% chance of getting $24,000, and a 13% chance of getting $29,000. Also, there is an 11% chance that the company may have to pay $5000 to dispose of the equipment. Calculate the expected salvage value.

Im working on a study guide for our midterm and I am stuck on the last question. My value of B is .81 and I got 3.69946 for question b. I don't know where to go from there and I'm confused on how to use the value of 3.69946 to write a new equation only in terms of L and K. I'm also confused on how I would approach part d. when it asks to solve for K as a function of L.
