    QUESTION 2:

    Which of the following is/are true regarding penalty cost? (Here D(t) and R(t) are instantaneous
    demand and resources at time t.)

    a. Penalty cost ∝ ∫|𝐷(𝑡)/𝑅(𝑡)|𝑑𝑡

    b. If demand is flat, penalty is equal to 0.


    c. If demand is exponential (D(t)=et), any fixed provisioning interval (tp) according to the current
    demands will fall linearly behind.
    d. The penalty cost for exponential demand is exponential.

    Correct Answer: b, c
    Detailed Solution:

    Penalty cost ∝ ∫|𝐷(𝑡) − 𝑅(𝑡)|𝑑𝑡. . If demand is exponential (D(t)=et), any fixed provisioning

    interval (tp) according to the current demands will fall exponentially behind.
