Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sequencing the jobs using the earliest due date rule gives the following order:
Job 6, Job 1, Job 4, Job 3, Job 5, Job 2
The sum of processing times for these jobs is 40. Therefore, the past due time of the last job completed is 40. 
The best choice would be to prioritize jobs based on their due dates, as this minimizes the past due time and ensures timely completion of jobs.
