Problem #1
Greydog Bus Company operates buses between Boston and Washington, D.C. A bus trip between these two cities takes 6 hours. Federal law requires that a driver rest for four or more hours between trips. A driver's workday consists of two trips: one from Boston to Washington and one from Washington to Boston. The following table gives the departure times for the buses. Greydog's goal is to minimize the total downtime for all drivers. How would Greydog assign crews to trips? Note: It is permissible for a driver's "day" to overlap midnight. For example, a Washington-based driver can be assigned to the Washington-Boston 3 P.M. trip and the Boston-Washington 6 A.M. trip.

There is no trade-in value when a machine is replaced. Your goal is to minimize the total cost (purchase plus maintenance) of having a machine for five years. Determine the years in which a new machine should be purchased.
