Answer:

The smallest value of x is 5 which leads to a safe state.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Process Available Maximum Request = Max-Available

A         [2 ,1 ,0 ,2, 2] [4, 2,2, 3, 3]          [2,1,2,1,1]

B         [3 ,1, 1, 0 ,2] [3 ,3 ,6 ,1 ,2]          [0,2,5,1,0]

C         [2 ,1 ,0 ,2 ,1 ] [3 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,1]          [1,1,3,1,0]

D         [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ]          [0,1,3,1,1]

Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.

Now

consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3

It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2

Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3

It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3

Thus

consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3

It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5

Then

consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3

It can satisfy A,B,C,D

Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.

= $‭6,438,000‬

Failing to respond to the needs of internal customers will diminish the confidence these users have in purchasing, and they may
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is Maverick buying.

Explanation:

Maverick, is a wayward, a dissident, a rebel, someone who refuses to abide by the rules or resists joining a group. The term originates from Samuel A. Maverick (1803-1870), a Texas rancher, who refused to mark his cattle.

The "maverick buying", refers to purchases out of contract or channels established by an organization. For example, the Corporate Supply department negotiates a competitive price for certain particular models of laptops with a distributor. Days later, someone from the Human Resources department requests the purchase of a much more expensive model, for which a discount has not been negotiated.

Another example: traveling in an airline and staying in a hotel other than those with which the company has signed agreements.

The impact of bypassing the preferred purchasing channels and systems can vary from operational inefficiency, to missing out on the advantages of corporate contract negotiation, large fines and even jail time.
