Matthew Bailey, as manager of Designs by Bailey,is upgrading his CAD software. The high-performance (HP)software rents for $3,000 per month per workstation. Thestandard-performance (SP) software rents for $2,000 per monthper workstation. The productivity figures that he has availablesuggest that the HP software is faster for his kind of design.Therefore, with the HP software he will need five engineers and
with the SP software he will need six. This translates into a vari-able cost of $200 per drawing for the HP system and $240 per
drawing for the SP system. At his projected volume of 80 draw-ings per month, which system should he rent?

Beth Zion Hospital has received initial certification from the state of California to become a center for liver
transplants. The hospital, however, must complete its first 10 transplants under great scrutiny and at no cost to the
patients with the hospital picking the expenses. The cost per hour of surgery is estimated to be $5,000. The very first
transplant, just completed, required 27 hours. On the basis of research at the hospital, Beth Zion estimates that it will
have an 75% learning curve. Using Table E.3, estimate the time it will take to complete:
a) the 10th transplant
10.40 hours (round your response to two decimal places).
