The Lightning Rod is a fishing rod being introduced by Castaway Sports. At a preliminary meeting with its agency, the president of Castaway Sports mentions that the rod can improve casting distance for an average individual by more than 20 percent. The account executive asks if the president has data to support this, and the president says "Yes." The agency proceeds to produce a series of television spots featuring a well-known sports celebrity using the rod and rating it as excellent. The spots run on network television and trumpet the improved casting distance that the rod provides. The slogan of the spots is "Lightning Rod—The Finest Rod Ever Cast." After about a week, a competitor questions whether the rods really offer the improved performance Castaway Sports claims, and decides to file a complaint with the FTC. The slogan for the spot, "Lightning Rod—The Finest Rod Ever Cast," would most likely be considered by U. S. courts to be:A) a false and misleading statement, which needs to be retracted. B) a superlative, which must be provable. C) unethical, but not truly deceptive. D) puffery, which doesn't need to be proved or disproved.

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.
