Explanation of Solution

Given Information:The network is given below:

  Introduction to Algorithms, Chapter 26, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  1

Explanation:

The constraints can be covered by splitting the vertex into two then the edge in between two vertices of the network will be the vertex capacity for the graph.

The maximum flow of the network is determined by consider the path so that the graph has maximum capacity.

The steps to determine the maximum-flow is given below:

Step 1: Split the vertex into 2 and formed new network of vertices u and v.

Step 2: The splitting results the new vertices of new network is {0,1}×V so it has some edges (v,u) .

Step 3: Check the graph for edge (v,u) then there exist an edge in the original network as 1×V and 0×u

Step 4: The new network consists of edge as (u,v) such that there are total of 2|V| and total of (V+E) edge comparing to original network.

Step 5: To obtain the maximum flow consider the v as it goes from (0×v) and (1×v) .

Thus, in this way the new flow network is formed having maximum flow.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:The figure with no escape grid is given below:

  Introduction to Algorithms, Chapter 26, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  2

Explanation:

The escape problem can be solved as follows:

Step 1: Built a flow network with unit capacity by considering vertex constraints.

Step 2: Consider the above figure select the unit edge that intersecting the grid lines of adjacent grid.

Step 3: The available network has bidirectional edges with unit capacity so put a unit capacity corresponding to edges going to source s to other vertices.

Step 4: The capacity of the edges is unity so all the augmented paths will be unity.

Step 5: The augmented path defines the path to escape that is escape path is equal to m , where m is vertex disjoint path.

Step 6: Checks the value of maximum flow if it is less than the m then it is not the required escape path.

The path obtained from the above algorithm can be crossed verified by the vertex disjoint path it satisfy the equality then it is required escape path otherwise the flow network cannot have any escape path.

Pastner Brands is a calendar-year firm with operations in several countries. As part of its executive compensation plan, at January 1, 2024, the company issued 480,000 executive stock options permitting executives to buy 480,000 shares of Pastner stock for $38 per share. One-fourth of the options vest in each of the next four years beginning at December 31, 2024 (graded vesting). Pastner elects to separate the total award into four groups (or tranches) according to the year in which they vest and measures the compensation cost for each vesting date as a separate award. The fair value of each tranche is estimated at January 1, 2024, as follows: Vesting Date Amount Fair Value Vesting per Option: December 31, 2024 25% $ 3.90 December 31, 2025 25% $ 4.40 25% $ 4.90 25% $ 5.40 December 31, 2026 December 31, 2027 Required: 1. Determine the compensation expense related to the options to be recorded each year 2024-2027, assuming Pastner allocates the compensation cost for each of the four…
