A Florida lottery machine and printer at Store #8302 operates 360 days a year. If the machine does not work and breaks down, it costs the Florida Lottery Commission $2,160 per day. If store employees are trained to perform local tests on the machine each day plus the costs of machine repairpersons, these preventive maintenance costs average $850 per day. If preventive maintenance is performed daily, the probability the equipment fails is zero. The probability of store lottery machine breakdown is as follows.

The warehouse management system (WMS) of RoyaTech's Delaware Valley warehouse tracks service level at the warehouse. A service level failure at the warehouse is an event where a customer's order could not be shipped out in full by the promised shipping time. RoyalTech's ordering system prevents customers from placing orders on products that are not in-stock at the warehouse. Therefore, we can make the statement that "the WMS is guaranteed to show 100% service level at the warehouse." Choose the most appropriate statement in response: O True, because orders will be placed only for products that are available. O False, because service level can never be 100%. O False, because resource constraint or human error may delay the shipping even though inventory is available in the system. O False, because WMS calculations are faulty.

A product engineer has developed the following equation for the cost of a system component: C = (10P) 2, where C is the cost in dollars and P is the probability that the component will operate as expected. The system is composed of two identical components, both of which must operate forthe system to operate. The engineer can spend $173 for the two components. To the nearest two decimal places, what is the largest component probability that can be achieved?

An injection molding system has a first cost of $90,000, and an annual operating cost of $42,000 in year 1, increasing by $5000 per year thereafter. The salvage value of the system is 30,000 if you sell after 1 year of use. The salvage value decreases by $5,000 each year thereafter. The maximum useful life of the machine is 4 years. Using a MARR of 20% per year, determine the ESL and the corresponding Equivalent Annual Cost of the system.
