Freeport Brothers have recently purchased a process management system. Cabling installed in the plant connects data collection nodes to a central server. The costs of this system included the following: Five data collection nodes S4500 each New server Se000 60-metre cable $11.40 per metre Cabling hardware $188 $1190 per node Node software Server software $1950 10 hours of hardware installer time $20 per hour 25 hours of software installer time S60 per hour If Freeport Brothers wanted to calculate a replacement interval for such a process management system, what would be the capital cost for the first year at a depreciation rate of 30 percent?

John is travelling from home in Sydney to a hotel in Perth. Three stopovers on the way a number of choices of towns for each stop only one hotel to choose from in each town, except for Perth, where there are three hotels (J, K, and L) to choose from Each trip has a different distance resulting in a different cost (petrol) (cost is marked by each arc) Hotels have different costs (cost is marked by each node (town)) ● ● ● The goal is to select a route to and a hotel in Perth so that the overall cost of the trip is minimized.
