In our discussions regarding dispatching, one rule that was mentioned but not visited in detail is the Earliest Due Date rule. Here, jobs are prioritized by which is due soonest. Suppose we have the following jobs awaiting processing at a given work center:

Job Processing Time at this Work Center (hrs) Due Date (hrs from now)
A 17 49
B 14 44
C 12 36

If we use the Earliest Due Date rule (and no other jobs arrive while these are being processed), what will be the second job's finish time (in hours from now) at this work center?
