Christmas Express makes wreaths in batch sizes of $18.$ The cutting and assembly process

takes $6$ minutes per wreath, and the decorating process time is $9$ minutes per wreath. It

takes $3$ minutes to move the wreaths from the cutting and assembly process to the

decorating process.

a$.$ Compute the value$-$added, non$-$value$-$added, and total lead times of the wreath process.
