You are to construct a production possibilities frontier from 2 grocery stores based on the available milk and eggs (you choose which particular milk product and which particular egg product you use). Use the total quantity of milk as the intersection for the vertical axis and the total quantity of eggs as the intersection for the horizontal axis. Connect those points to form your production possibilities frontier, one graph for each store. Determine the opportunity costs of milk in terms of eggs from your production possibilities graph. Describe your production possibilities frontier. Identify on the curve and then explain the unattainable, efficient, and inefficient areas of production. Discuss the concept of increasing opportunity costs and identify whether the opportunity costs from your graph exhibit increasing opportunity costs. Illustrate, based on the opportunity costs for each store, how specialization and trade can lead to a mutually beneficial outcome.

How have your thoughts on leisure changed because of this course? Identify at least one change that you have made or plan on making in regards to your own approach to leisure and well-being. In addition, please read the paper and watch the video “This is Water” by David Foster Wallace and give three points, which struck you as important in regards to leisure and how you think about it at the end of the course, opposed to prior to the course.

University Printers has two service departments (Maintenance and Personnel) and two operating departments (Printing and Developing). Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
| Maintenance | Personnel | Printing | Developing | |||||||||
| Machine-hours | − | 640 | 520 | 2,840 | ||||||||
| Labor-hours | 399 | − | 357 | 1,344 | ||||||||
| Department direct costs | $ | 11,000 | $ | 22,000 | $ | 30,000 | $ | 18,000 | ||||
Required:
Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. (Matrix algebra is not required because there are only two service departments.) (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amounts.)

Did this paper make you realize something that you had not before?
Is the paper making any strong assumptions that you disagree with? If yes, what, according to you, will be a more plausible alternative assumption?
If there was one thing you could change about the model, what would that be? Will that make the model intractable?

Write a program that processes numbers, corresponding to student records read in from a file, and writes the required results to an output file (see main ( )). Your program should define the following functions:
|
double read_double (FILE *infile) — Reads one double precision number from the input file. Note: You may assume that the file only contains real numbers. |
|
|
int read_integer (FILE *infile) - Reads one integer number from the input file. |
|
double calculate_sum (double number1, double number2, double number3, double number4, double number5) - Finds the sum of number1, number2, number3, number4, and number5 and returns the result. |
|
|
double calculate_mean (double sum, int number) - Determines the mean through the calculation sum / number and returns the result. You need to check to make sure that number is not 0. If it is 0 the function returns -1.0 (we will assume that we are calculating the mean of positive numbers), otherwise it returns the mean. |
|
|
double calculate_deviation (double number, double mean) - Determines the deviation of number from the mean and returns the result. The deviation may be calculated as number - mean. |
|
|
double calculate_variance (double deviation1, double deviation2, double deviation3, double deviation4, double deviation5, int number) - Determines the variance through the calculation: ((deviation1)^2 + (deviation2)^2 + (deviation3)^2 + (deviation4)^2 + (deviation5)^2) / number and returns the result. Hint: you may call your calculate_mean ( ) function to determine the result! |
|
|
double calculate_standard_deviation (double variance) - Calculates the standard deviation as sqrt (variance) and returns the result. Recall that you may use the sqrt ( ) function that is found in math.h. |
|
double find_max (double number1, double number2, double number3, double number4, double number5) — Determines the maximum number out of the five input parameters passed into the function, returning the max. |
|
|
double find_min (double number1, double number2, double number3, double number4, double number5) — Determines the minimum number out of the five input parameters passed into the function, returning the min. |
|
void print_double (FILE *outfile, double number) — Prints a double precision number (to the hundredths place) to an output file. |
|
A main ( ) function that does the following (this is what the program does!!!): Opens an input file "input.dat" for reading; Opens an output file "output.dat" for writing; Reads five records from the input file (input.dat); You will need to use a combination of read_double ( ) and read_integer ( ) function calls here! Calculates the sum of the GPAs; Calculates the sum of the class standings; Calculates the sum of the ages; Calculates the mean of the GPAs, writing the result to the output file (output.dat); Calculates the mean of the class standings, writing the result to the output file (output.dat); Calculates the mean of the ages, writing the result to the output file (output.dat); Calculates the deviation of each GPA from the mean (Hint: need to call calculate_deviation ( ) 5 times) Calculates the variance of the GPAs Calculates the standard deviation of the GPAs, writing the result to the output file (output.dat); Determines the min of the GPAs, writing the result to the output file (output.dat); Determines the max of the GPAs, writing the result to the output file (output.dat); Closes the input and output files (i.e. input.dat and output.dat) |
Expected Input File Format (real numbers only):
For this assignment you will be required to read five records from the "input.dat" file. Each record will have the following form:
Student ID# (an 8 digit integer number)
GPA (a floating-point value to the hundredths place)
Class Standing (1 - 4, where 1 is a freshmen, 2 is a sophomore, 3 is a junior, and 4 is a senior --> all integers)
Age (a floating-point value)
Example data for 1 student record in the file could be as follows:
12345678
3.78
3
20.5
IV. Expected Results:
The following sample session demonstrates how your program should work.
Assuming input.dat stores the following records:
12345678
3.78
3
20.5
87654321
2.65

19.25

11112222
3.95

22223234
2.45

Your program should write the following to output.dat: NOTE: you only need to output the numbers, the text is for demonstration purposes only.
3.19 -- GPA Mean
2.60 -- Class Standing Mean
19.92 -- Age Mean
0.60 -- GPA Standard Deviation
