Research a U.S. company in the service industry with e-commerce activities.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

Describe the company you researched in one to two (1-2) paragraphs.

Discuss how a time-driven Activity-Based Costing (ABC) system can be implemented in the company you researched and the benefits that the use will yield to the business performance.

Assess how using an ABC system can provide a competitive advantage to the company in the market space it operates and the resulting impact to the business performance.

Examine the potential impact of time-driven ABC costing on services provided online with those provided through traditional channels, considering how this knowledge will impact decisions made by management about these services.

12a. Alaska Career College is in the process of selecting a new Academic Dean. Before making a final selection it wants to know how its staff feels about the final prospective candidate. Nielson Corp takes a random sample of 100 faculty members, with the following results: Reaction Full-time Part-time Tenured Staff In Favor 15 20 25 Against 10 10 20 At a one percent significance level test the claim that Full-time Professor’s, Part-time Adjunct’s and Tenured–Staff are not uniform in their opinion of the new Academic Dean.

An argument is distinguished from a report or descriptive essay in that

A) Use the Clapeyron equation to estimate (in bar/K) the slope of the solid-liquid phase boundary of water given the enthalpy of fusion is 6.008 kJ/mol and the densities of ice and water at T=0^oC are 0.91671 and 0.99984 gm/cm³ respectively.

B) In the preceding problem, what is the pressure required to lower the melting point of ice by 1C, in bars?

C) The standard molar entropy of rhombic sulfur is 31.80 J/K mol and that of monoclinic sulfur is 32.6 J/K mol. At what temperature will the transition occur at 1 bar? Assume the enthalpy and entropy do not depend on the temperature within the temperature range of interest. Give answer in Kelvins. Note you will need data on the enthalpy of the transition. To get that, you will have to use the table data that the standard Gibbs formation energy and density of rhombic and monoclinic sulfur, at T=25C, are equal to 0 kJ/mol, 2.070 g/cm3 and +0.33 kJ/mol, 1.957 g/cm3 respectively.

An economy's production possibility boundary is given by the mathematical expression  110 =  2 A + B,   where A is the quantity of good "a" and B is the quantity of good "b".  [Hint: To help you answer this question, use the formula Y = mX + b and have good "a" quantities correspond to X-axis values and good "b" quantities correspond to Y-axis values.]

Dilemma zone is a real world problem existed at signalized intersections. The zone boundary is defined by two measures, maximum passing distance (X_p) and minimum stopping distance (X_s). X_p is the maximum distance that the driver travels from the onset of yellow light to clear the intersection. X_s is the minimum distance that the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop at or before the stop line.

If X_s>X_p, the dilemma zone type I is presented where the driver at this zone has no option. If the driver decides to go, will run red light violating the traffic signal. If deciding to stop, the driver would stop the vehicle after the stop line, again violating the traffic rules. The vehicle at this zone should be X_s> vehicle distance to stop line> X_p

If X_p>X_s, Option zone is presented where the driver at this zone has two options either to go or stop but they are equal which caused a hesitation for the driver. This hesitation delays the decision taken by the driver. The vehicle at this zone should be X_p> vehicle distance to stop line> X_s.

X_s and X_p is described by the following equations:

X_p= 0.278VY+ 0.5a(Y-t) ²

X_s= 0.278Vt+ (0.278V) ² / 2d

Where,

V= Vehicle’s speed at the yellow light onset in km/h.

Y= Yellow interval in seconds assumed 3s.

a= Acceleration in meter per squared second, assumed, 0 m/s²

t= Perception reaction time in seconds, assumed 1s

d= Deceleration in meter per squared second, assumed, 5 m/s².

1- You are asked to create a script file in MATLAB that graphs these two equations at the same plot with distance to stop line on x-axis and speed on y-axis including labels. Note: the speed must be ranging from 40 to 110 km/h increasing at 10 km/h. (5 pints)

2- Given the vehicle speed, 50 km/h and the distance to stop line, 36 m at the yellow light onset, plot this point at the same figure and identify whether or not in dilemma zone and which type; type I or option zone. Note: write the answer in the script file as documented line. (2.5 Points)

3- Given the vehicle speed, 100 km/h and the distance to stop line, 95 m at the yellow light onset, plot this point at the same figure and identify whether or not in dilemma zone and which type; type I or option zone. Note: write the answer in the script file as documented line. (2.5 Points)
