Primrose yard receives 15,000 large trees each year that they process into 15,000 rough logs. currently, primrose sells the rough logs for $50 each. primrose is considering processing the logs further into refined lumber.
each log can be processed into 350 feet of refined lumber at an additional cost of $0.20 per foot. the refined lumber can be sold for $0.80 per foot.

assume that the cost of getting the 15,000 large trees falls by half.

should primrose sell the rough logs at split-off or process it further?

a. it should sell at split-off because the decrease in cost price will increase the selling price of the logs.

b. it should sell at split-off because the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant.

c. it should process further because the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant.

d. it should process further because the reduction in the cost of trees makes that option more profitable than it was before.

e. it should process further because the cost reduction will decrease the processing cost.

Problem 3: access control pokeygram, a cutting-edge new email start-up, is setting up building access for its employees. there are two types of employees: managers and engineers, and there are three departments: security, networking, and human resoures. each employee works in a single department, and each department is housed on a different floor. managers are allowed access to any floor, while engineers are allowed access only to their own floor. there are three badge-operated elevators, each going up to only one distinct floor. every employee has one badge. pokeygram wants to use the best possible access control method in order to minimize delay for the elevators (a) access control matrix, 1. which of the following would you recommend that pokeygram use: (b) access control lists, or (c) capabilities? make sure to justify your answer. 2. what, if any, would be the benefits (and/or disadvantages) of using rbac (role-based access control) in this situation? keep your solution for this problem limited to 10-12 lines of text.
