Radisys, is a (physical) products company. They plan to develop three products A, B and C concurrently. If the engineers implement each product on its own, the respective PMs have converged to the following budgets: Project A: $2M Project B: $8M Project C: $4M Luckily, the CTO found platform X from another company. Such platform can be acquired for $5M. Leveraging this common platform, the PMs now estimate that their effort will be reduced between 40%-50%, per project, that is: Project A drops to: $1M Project B drops to: $3.2M Project C drops to: $2M But to be able to pay for this common platform, each PM should account for an indirect cost proportional to the savings of their project. a.(2pts) What is the total cost to the company using and not using the platform X? b.(10pts) What is the loaded cost (i.e. direct and indirect) of each project if platform X is used
