Question: Newark Liberty airport has two runways. Runway 1R serves only large jets, while runway 1L serves only smaller jets. Large jets wishing to use runway 1R arrive at the average rate of 20 per hour, while the smaller jets using runway 1L arrive at the average rate of 30 per hour. Each runway can handle an average of 60 jets per hour. Unfortunately, it is rather expensive to keep aircraft airborne while waiting to land. The large jets incur a cost of $25 per minute, while the small jets cost $10/minute while circling to land. Calculate the total hourly waiting cost for all jets at the airport.
