Larry London (LL) buys a computer with his new store credit card at Greatest Get (GG). GG immediately sells the right to receive monthly payments from LL to a finance company, Friendly Finance (FF). Unfortunately for LL, the computer stops working three months after he purchased it. As GG won’t return his calls regarding his broken PC, LL stops making payments. Long story short, all stakeholders (LL, GG, and FF) are fed up with each other’s behavior; they all lawyer up.

If your last name begins with A-H, you are LL’s lawyer. If your last name begins with I-P, you are GG’s lawyer. If your last name begins with Q-Z, you are FF’s lawyer. For your initial post, explain to your client all the possible issues you’ve learned in this week’s material that help and hurt his or her chances of winning a potential lawsuit. Remember to “keep your eye on the ball”. Limit your discussion to this week’s material. For example, you may want to consider whether the parties have a negotiable instrument. If so, what kind? What defenses might there be on that instrument?

In this case, you will be GG's lawyer.

List the seven stages in the ONLINE consumer decision-making process.

JCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, HP, and others. In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching.

• Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip.
• Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built.
• Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures.

The following table lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later stage.

Note: A setup can only begin once the batch has arrived at the machine.

(a) What is the process capacity in units per hour with a batch size of 100 wafers?

Looking for a table like:

Deposition ____ units/hour

Patterning _____ units/hour

Etching _______ units/hour

(c) Suppose JCL Inc. came up with a new technology that eliminated the setup time for step 1 (deposition), but increased the processing time to 0.42 minute/unit. What would be the batch size you would choose so as to maximize the overall capacity of the process? (Round your intermediate computations to 2 decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)

Batch size is ____ units.
