Lebert, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $380,000 and would last for 7 years. At the end of 7 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $49,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $96,000 per year. Additional working capital of $6,000 would be needed immediately. All of this working capital would be recovered at the end of the life of the machine. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 18% on all investment projects.

The net present value of the proposed project is closest to

10.3. Least-laxity-first (LLF) is a real-time scheduling algorithm for periodic tasks. Slack time, or laxity, is the amount of time between when a task would complete if it started now and its next deadline. This is the size of the available scheduling window. Laxity can be expressed as

Laxity = (deadline time) − (current time) − (processor time needed)

LLF selects the task with the minimum laxity to execute next. If two or more tasks have the same minimum laxity value, they are serviced on a FCFS basis.

1. Suppose a task currently has a laxity of t. By how long may the scheduler delay starting this task and still meet its deadline?
2. Suppose a task currently has a laxity of 0. What does this mean?
3. What does it mean if a task has negative laxity?
