Paula's Pralines produces pralines in a highly, but not perfectly, competitive market. Paula rents her commercial kitchen for $150/day. Each 100 pralines costs Paula $65 for ingredients and one hour of labor. Paula pays her workers $10/hour. Demand for Paula's Pralines is given in the demand schedule below.

  1. Fill in a table like the one below showing Paula's costs and revenues for one day. Included the values given for price and quantity, as well as total revenue (TR), marginal revenue (MR), total fixed cost (TFC), total variable costs (TVC), total cost (TC), marginal cost (MR), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC), and profit.
  2. Graph Paula's demand, MR, MC, ATC, and AVC curves. Indicate on your graph Paula's profit-maximizing price and quantity.
  3. Write an analysis of Paula's firm, including the answers to the following questions, remembering to craft your response as a paper rather than as the answers to a series of short answer questions.
    • Identify Paula's fixed and variable expenses.
    • Explain what happens to ATC and AC as output increases and why this happens.
    • Explain what happens to MR as output increases and why this happens.
    • Explain how you determined the profit-maximizing price and quantity.
    • Illustrate why this is profit-maximizing by explaining what would happen if Paula tries to raise or lower her price while still producing the same quantity.
    • What is most likely to happen in the handmade candy market in this town?
  4. Paula's town is growing rapidly and a shortage of spaces to rent develops, so Paula's landlord, like most in town, doubles her rent.
    • Complete a new table of costs with the rent now $300/day. (Hint: Copy and paste your table from #3, then change only the numbers which will be different now.)
    • At what price and quantity should Paula operate now? What are the long-run implications for Paula's business?
  5. Because of the increase in rents, the city decides to implement a minimum wage of $15/hour.
    • Complete a new table of costs with the cost of labor now $15/hour.
    • At what price and quantity should Paula operate now? What are the long-run implications for Paula's business?
    • What will probably be happening in the industry now?

Given an array of integers, implement (in Java) the moveAllNegativeOne method to

move all -1 present in the array to the end. The algorithm should maintain the relative

order of items in the array and worst-case running time complexity must be linear.

Example:

Input: [6, -1, 8, 2, 3, -1, 4, -1, 1]

Output: [6, 8, 2, 3, 4, 1, -1, -1, -1]

Important Notes:

• You must add the main method in your program in Java in order to test your

implementation.

• You can use the array of the previous example to test your program, however, I

suggest that you also use other input arrays to validate the correctness and

efficiency of your solution.

• Your program MUST be submitted only in source code form (.java file).

• A program that does not compile or does not run loses all correctness points.

  • Comment on all functions purposes

GHI Ltd. manufactures two different chairs, Trippo and Trappo, for which the following information is available:

Costs per unit                              Trippo                Trappo

                                                                                                      

Direct materials                               75                     90

Direct labour                                  60                     80

Variable overhead                              105                    128

Fixed overhead                                 90                     112

Total costs per unit                          330                    410

Price                                          360                    450

Units sold                               1,500 units            1,000 units

The average wage rate including fringe benefits is 20 per hour. The plant has a maximum capacity of 10,000 direct labour hours for each period. The current production uses only 8,500 direct labour hours of the capacity. GHI Ltd. can hire additional direct labour up to its maximum capacity of 10,000 labour hours.

a)    A new customer has offered to buy 400 units of Trippo if GHI Ltd.     lowers its price to 300 per unit. How many labour hours will be required to produce 400 units of Trippo?

b)    How much will GHI’s profit increase or decrease if it accepts this

proposal? (Assume all other prices will remain as before.)

c)    The next period the same customer wants to buy 600 units of Trippo    at the same price (300 per unit). He underscores that he will find      another supplier if GHI is not able to deliver 600 units to that      price. How much will the profits increase or decrease if it accepts this proposal?

The sales manager of GHI Ltd. wants to keep this new customer because this is a well-known business. Thus, he thinks that the prices to the other customers could be increased a little in order to compensate for the lower price that is achieved regarding the new customer. He wants to have a piece of advice from you.

d)    What is your advice? Please underpin your suggestions.

Nouveaux Toys Inc., manufactures plastic rubber ducks. In June, Nouveaux reported the following data:

  1. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process.
  2. Beginning work-in-process consisted of 3,000 units, 30 percent complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. Costs in beginning inventory included direct materials, $450; and conversion costs, $138.
  3. Costs added to production during the month were direct materials, $950; and conversion costs, $2,174.50.
  4. Inspection takes place at the end of the process. Malformed units are discarded. During normal operations, 0.5% of the units started will end up being malformed and discarded.
  5. During the month, 7,000 units were started and 8,000 good units were transferred out to Finishing. All other units finished were malformed and discarded. There were 1,000 units that remained in ending work in process, 55 percent complete.
  6. Remember to round your decimal points to four places for cost/EU rates.

Required:

  1. Prepare a physical unit flow schedule.
  2. Calculate the 1) cost of goods transferred out, 2) ending work-in-process, and 3) loss due to spoilage using the weighted average method.
  3. Prepare the journal entries to record 1) and 3) above. Reconcile these journal entries with beginning work in process to ensure that ending work in process matches 2).
  4. Calculate the 1) cost of goods transferred out, 2) ending work-in-process, and 3) loss due to spoilage using the FIFO method.
  5. Prepare the journal entries to record 1) and 3) above. Reconcile these journal entries with beginning work in process to ensure that ending work in process matches 2).
  6. Assume instead that inspection takes place when units are 40 percent complete. How does this change the number of units spoiled? How does this change the number of units that were abnormal spoilage v. normal spoilage?

Using the above code please do it to me following

  1. #1: Study Programming at the Kernel Level
    Write a program that creates an array of 100 random numbers from 0-99. The program sums the random numbers and prints the sum. It then writes the numbers to a new file using open, close and write.
    Other requirements:
  1. Input—The program has no input data (it uses standard function to generate sequence of random numbers).
  2. Output—The program prints the sum of the array. The program creates a file called numbers.XXXX where XXXX is the sum of the numbers in the file.
  3. Program structure—The program has needs only one function: int main(void)

Hints:

Remember to initialize any sum variable to 0

rand() will return a random number too big for 0-99. Use modulo to reduce the range.

rand() needs to be initialized with a seed. You can use: srand(time(0));

  1. #2: Write a program that looks in the current directory for files that match the pattern “numbers.XXXX”. For each file, open the file and read the file. You can assume that the file will contain 100 integers. Sum the integers. Print the filename and the sum of the integers.

Hints:

Make a function to deal with open/read/sum/print/close.

opendir() requires a starting directory. You want to start where in the current directory.

You need to loop over the directory entries. This is similar to walking a linked list.

You want to check every file entry to see if it starts with “numbers.”

1) Alexandra Kollontai --a hypothetical person with extraordinary sensibilities--views one graphic novel to be a perfect substitute for two comic books. If a graphic novel costs $30, a comic book costs $10, and Alexandra allocates Y = $60 per year for graphic novels and comic books, what bundle does she buy? If the price of graphic novels falls to $20, how will Alexandra’s behavior change? Show the utility-maximizing bundles on diagrams with bud- get line and indifference curves (with comic books on the horizontal axis)

2) Suppose that you are asked to conduct a study to understand the behavior of students in college who are performing to some minimum acceptable standard. In this context, is util- ity maximizing behavior a good assumption? What would this assumption imply in the context of school performance? Can you think of another/good assumption that you can use to understand school performance behavior? Explain --If you cannot think of another assumption to be used to conduct such a study, explain why you cannot do so.

Learning Objective: The final statistics project will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the applied aspect of this course. In fulfilling this objective, you will fulfill the written statistical component requirement of the BBA program. You will decide on two valuable options. Option 1 will focus on making your own mini statistical study.

OPTION 1 First, brainstorm a problem (e.g., health, debt, student success, work, stress, happiness, customer satisfaction, etc.) that you're interested. It can be anything relevant to business, economics, management, etc.

Second, at least two different research questions and/or hypotheses. Note: The null and the alternative hypotheses count as ONE hypothesis. You need TWO different hypotheses/research questions. Sample question: Do students that drink energy drinks have higher GPAs? (Correlation)

Sample question: Do women experience more conflict at work than do men? (Independent Sample T-Test)

Sample question: Are there differences in degree choice satisfaction among freshman, sophomore, juniors, and seniors? (ANOVA)

Sample research hypothesis: H1: Men and women differ in their workplace stress levels. (Independent Sample T-Test)

Sample research hypothesis: H1: Drinking coffee impacts students' scores on exams. (Simple Linear Regression)

Sample research hypothesis: H1: Watching the news too often is correlated with being pessimistic about the world. (Correlations)

Third, develop at least a 5-10 question survey relevant to the research question or research hypothesis of your choice.

Sample survey questions. i. What's your sex? Male (1) ____ Female (2) ___ ii.

What is your age? ____ iii.

Have you ever experienced workplace conflict? Yes (1)___ No (0) ____ iv.

On a scale of 1-7, how stressed are you at work? Not stressed out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Very stressed out v.

How many times do you watch the news per week? ____ vi.

Do you experience stress due to conflict? Yes (1) ___ No (0) ___

vii. What is your perception of the current political leaders in the U.S.?

Fourth, collect the data from at least 10+ different people. (online or face-to-face) a a free online survey software system like Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey. Share the public hyperlink to at least 10 people (your target audience) through texts, social networking sites, emails, etc.... Then, download the responses as an Excel spreadsheet.

Fifth, select an analytical approach as a key word (e.g., percentages, frequencies, means, standard deviations, t-tests, ANOVA, linear regression, regression analysis, correlational analysis, multiple regression, etc...). Select the approaches according to your personal research question/hypothesis interests.

Sixth, design two visual graphical displays of the data (e.g., pie chart, bar graph, histogram, etc.) and/or analyze the data (e.g., correlation, t-test, ANOVA, regression) to share.

Seventh, interpret the results of your mini study. What's the answer to your questions and/or hypotheses? Share the visual results in your statistical report.

Eighth, find two credible references that support your study to enhance the professionalism and the credibility of your study. Make sure to cite them in your managerial report.

Ninth, complete the managerial report worksheet to help you draft your final managerial report.

Discuss the Data that was Selected and Where you got it from:

What data were selected? Why is this data interesting to you? Why is this issue important?

What data set was selected and why? What was the target audience who responded to the data set?
