A copper wire manufacturer traditionally offers distributors a 30% trade discount off of suggested retail price. This month, the price of copper is down so the manufacturer offers an additional 10% discount. Large orders of a ton or more also receive an additional 5% discount. Assume the suggested retail price is $5,600 for a ton of copper. What would be the total discount if you ordered a ton of copper? (Hint: may want to calculate Selling Price first.) Group of answer choices $2,152.50 $3,847.50 $2,248.40 $3,600.00

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
