question 8
Enormous State University's Business School is buying computers. The school has two models from which to choose, the Pomegranate and the iZac. Each Pomegranate comes with 400 GB of memory and 80 TB of disk space; each iZac has 300 GB of memory and 100 TB of disk space. For reasons related to its accreditation the school would like to be able to say that it has a total of at least 34,000 GB of memory and at least 9,200 TB of disk space. If the Pomegranate and the iZac cost $2,000 each, how many of each should the school buy to keep the cost as low as possible? HINT [See Example 4.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

After doing some research, you have learned that you can upgrade your disks for $8,000 to make them 2.5 times as fast as they are currently. You have also learned that you can upgrade your CPU to make it 1.5 times as fast as the current CPU for $5,000. Which upgrade option would give a faster system? Which upgrade option would give the best return of investment for each percent of speed improvement? Show your calculation to support your conclusion.arrow_forwardHello.
