Recall the definitions of memory access time and memory cycle time. Assume the options of the access time and cycle time of a memory system to retrieve a word (4 bytes) are 10 and 12 nanoseconds, respectively.

1. What would be the transfer rate of the memory system when considering the memory access time (in terms of bytes per second)?

2. If memory cycle time were used, how much time per byte would be wasted?
