Question 2: A ten-station automatic assembly

Question 2: A ten-station automatic assembly machine has an ideal cycle time of 20 sec. The average downtime per occurrence is 2.0 min and downtime is occurred due to defective parts jamming at the individual assembly stations. The fraction defect rate is 2.0% and the probability that a defective part will jam at a given station is 0.4 for all stations. The cost to operate the assembly machine is $100.00 per hour and the cost of components being assembled is $0.70 per unit assembly. Ignore other costs. Determine (a) yield of good assemblies, (b) average production rate of good assemblies, (e) proportion of assemblies with at least one defective component, and (d) unit cost of the assembled product
