A cheetah can run at 105 ft/s, but only for 7 seconds. The cheetah is at (0,0) when it sees an antelope which is moving accoording to the parametric equation (x,y)= (-39+40t , 228+30t), where t is in seconds and (x,y) are measured in feet. If the cheetah started to run at t=0 it could catch the antelope. How many seconds can the cheetah afford to wait before starting? Assume that the cheetah does not change direction when it runs.

create a Java application program that will add up the cost of three items, then print the final total with sales tax.

You should begin by prompting the user to enter three separate prices for three items that are being purchased. For each item you should ask for (in this order) the quantity of the product and the price of the product.

The program should compute, and be able to print to the screen:

the subtotal (the total amount due before tax)

sales tax (the amount of sales tax that will be added, assume 7% tax rate)

total due (subtotal + sales tax)

The following is an example of what your MIGHT see on the screen when your program runs. The exact output depends on what values that the user types in while the program runs. The user's values are shown below in italics:

Enter the quantity of the first product: 3
Enter the price of the first product: $5.25
Enter the quantity of the second product: 2
Enter the price of the second product: $1.83
Enter the quantity of the third product: 7
Enter the price of the third product: $0.89

Subtotal: $25.64
Sales Tax: $1.79
Total Due: $27.43

Maglie Company manufactures two video game consoles: handheld and home. The handheld consoles are smaller and less expensive than the home consoles. The company only recently began producing the home model. Since the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining. Management believes that the accounting system is not accurately allocating costs to products, particularly because sales of the new product have been increasing.

Management has asked you to investigate the cost allocation problem. You find that manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For your investigation, you have data from last year. Manufacturing overhead was $1,237,000 based on production of 310,000 handheld consoles and 104,000 home consoles. Direct labor and direct materials costs were as follows.

Handheld Home Total
Direct labor $ 1,154,250 $ 392,000 $ 1,546,250
Materials 700,000 669,000 1,369,000

Management has determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last year are as follows.

Activity Level
Cost Driver Costs Assigned Handheld Home Total
Number of production runs $ 585,000 30 15 45
Quality tests performed 496,000 13 18 31
Shipping orders processed 156,000 80 50 130
Total overhead $ 1,237,000

Required:

a. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product?

b. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if direct labor cost is used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product?

How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? (Round "Total Cost per Unit" to 2 decimal places.)

The data represent measures on a random sample of 25 individuals with high cholesterol levels.

The variables are as follows:

Dependent variable Y: Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)

Independent variable X_1: Body Size, measured by Quetelet (QUET) Index = 100(weight/height2)

Independent variable X_2: Age

1. For an individual of age 51 and QUET 3.30, obtain by hand calculation the predicted level of SBP (remember they should be mean centered). If that individual’s actual SBP was found to be 130, obtain the residual.

2. Using R, obtain the squared semi-partial correlation of Age and SBP and interpret the value.

3. Using R, obtain the squared partial correlation of Age and SBP and interpret the value.

Is the percentage average room rate increase from May to August affected by the number of stars of a hotel? In order to answer this question you are asked to use one way analysis of variance. 1.1 Compute the percentage Average Room Rate Increase from May to August for each hotel in the sample, rounding up to the second decimal. Call this variable PCT_ARR_INCREASE. 1.2 State the null and alternative hypotheses. 1.3 Test the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level. 1.4 What can you conclude from the above findings? 1.5 A friend of yours insists that the data clearly show that 5-star hotels have larger percentage average room rate increases than lesser star hotels so he/she is confident that the number of stars affects the percentage average room increase. What would be your answer to him/her be?
