The components needed to assemble an end product, their lead times, and the amount of their on-hand inventories are presented in the following table. The product structure tree of the end product is also given as follows:

Given this information:
1. If 15 units of the end product are to be assembled, how many units of M and O are needed?

2. If an order for the end product is to be shipped at the beginning of week 12, what is the latest week by which work on that order has to be started and still be shipped on time? You do not have to develop a material requirements plan to answer these questions.
