An antenna analyzer for checking resonant frequency, impedance, and even feed line characteristics over 1 MHz to

Question:

An antenna analyzer for checking resonant frequency, impedance, and even feed line characteristics over 1 MHz to 170MHz can be produced by either of two processing sequences, S1 or S2. Sequence S1 consists of processing through five workstations: W1, W2, W3, W4, and W5. For sequence S2, there are workstations WA, WB, and WC. The scrap rate for each of these workstations is as follows:W1 = 3 percent,W2 = 5 percent,W3 = 5 percent, W4 = 4 percent, W5 = 4 percent, WA = 5 percent, WB = 3 percent, and WC = 3 percent. Assume a lot size of 1,000 antenna analyzers is to be processed through each sequence. The raw material cost is \($30\) per unit. The processing cost through sequence S1 is \($180\) and through sequence S2 is \($210\), not including raw material cost. Which sequence of processing results in the lowest cost of good final product? Scrap materials have no value.
