Comprehensive Problem 2

The purpose of the comprehensive problems is to have students solve problems generally more detailed than the Connect homework and without a step-by-step template in which to input data. Thus, a clear and logical presentation of your solutions is part of the assignment NO credit will be given for answers without supporting computations.

Additionally, while you are welcome to discuss strategies, ideas, etc. with others, each student is required to complete their own assignment. To facilitate this, everyone will use the LAST 5 digits of their student ID as the number of units in ending work in process (see highlight below). NO credit will be given for a solution that does not correspond to your ID.
