Monson& Company is an architectural firm specializing in home remodeling for private clients and new office buildings for corporate clients. Monson charges customers at a billing rate equal to 128%
of the client's total job cost. A client's total job cost is a combination of(1) professional time spent on the client $64 per hour cost of employing each professional) and (2) operating overhead allocated to the client's job. Monson allocates operating overhead to jobs based on professional hours spent on the job. Monson estimates its five professionals will incur a total of 10,000 professional hours working on client jobs during the year.

All operating costs other than professional salaries (travel reimbursements, copy costs, secretarial salaries, office lease, and so forth) can be assigned to the three activities. Total activity costs, cost drivers, and total usage of those cost drivers are estimated as follows: |

AnnikaLaughlin hired Monson to design her kitchen remodeling. A total of 2020 professional hours were incurred on this job. In addition, Laughlin's remodeling job required one of the professionals to travel back and forth to her house for a total of 160 miles. The blueprints had to be copied four times because Laughlin changed the plans several times. In addition, 19 hours of secretarial time were used lining up the subcontractors for the job.

Blue Star Airline provides passenger airline service, using
small jets. The airline connects four major cities: Charlotte,
Pittsburgh, Detroit, and San Francisco. The company expects to fly
170,000 miles during a month. The following costs are budgeted for
a month:
| Fuel | $2,120,000 |
| Ground personnel | 788,500 |
| Crew salaries | 850,000 |
| Depreciation | 430,000 |
| Total costs | $4,188,500 |
Blue Star management wishes to assign these costs to individual
flights in order to gauge the profitability of its service
offerings. The following activity bases were identified with the
budgeted costs:
| Airline Cost | Activity Base |
| Fuel, crew, and depreciation costs | Number of miles flown |
| Ground personnel | Number of arrivals and departures at an airport |
The size of the company's ground operation in each city is
determined by the size of the workforce. The following monthly data
are available from corporate records for each terminal operation:

Using Java,
Ask for the runner’s name
Ask the runner to enter a floating point number for the number of miles ran, like 3.6 or 9.5
Then ask for the number of hours, minutes, and seconds it took to run
A marathon is 26.219 miles
Pace is how long it takes in minutes and seconds to run
1 mile.
Example Input:
What is your first name? // user enters Pheidippides
How far did you run today? 10.6 // user enters 10.6
miles
How long did it take? Hours: 1 // user enters 1 hours
Minutes: 34 // user enters 34 minutes
Seconds: 17 // user enters 17 seconds
Example Output:
Hi Pheidippides
Your pace is 8:53 (minutes: seconds)
At this rate your marathon time would be 3:53:12
Good luck with your training!
After your program tells the user what their pace is,
your program will build a table showing the following columns. The
pace table should start with the fastest man time which is Eliud
Kipchoge.
Example:
Pace Table
Pace Marathon
4:37 2:01:04 ←- Eliud Kipchoge
5:17 2:18:41
5:57 2:36:18
6:37 2:53:55
7:18 3:11:32
7:58 3:29:09
8:38 3:46:46
8:53 3:53:12 ← Pheidippides
The table should start with the World Record pace and time which is 4:37, 2:01:04.
Then continues in 17 minute and 37 second intervals until you reach the marathon time of the user.
Use a static function to print the pace table, introduce a while loop.
For the first person it should call a printTable function
Example : printTable (pace, “<--- Eliud Kipchoge”) something like that
The pace table continues until it reaches the user
printTable (myPace, name) something like that
For the marathon and pace time, make sure the format has 0’s if the time is 9 seconds, it should be 09.
Use the printf statement for formatting output (“02d %f%s”)

A retaining wall against a mud slide is to be constructed by placing 1.2 m-high rectangular concrete blocks (ρconcrete = 2700 kg/m3 ) side by side, as shown in Figure 1. The friction coefficient between the ground and the concrete blocks is f = 0.3, and the density of the mud is about 1800 kg/m3 . There is concern that the concrete blocks may slide or tip over the lower left edge as the mud level rises.
a) Determine the minimum width w of the concrete blocks at which the blocks will overcome friction and start sliding. Plot the results over the mud height ranging from zero to the top of the retaining wall in 0.2 m-increments.
b) Determine the minimum width w of the concrete blocks at which the blocks will tip over. Plot the results over the mud height ranging from zero to the top of the retaining wall in 0.2 m-increments in the same graph as a).
c) Briefly comment on the results.

Your company has the sales for year 1 below. You want to select
from one of three models for forecasting: a three-month moving
average, a weighted moving average (you believe that the weights
should be 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5), and an exponential smoothing average
in which you use an alpha of 0.2 and an assumed forecast for
January of year one of $35,000. Determine sales forecast for
January year 2 and calculate MAD.

1) A nutritionist claims that the proportion of females who consume too much saturated fat is lower than the proportion of males who consume too much saturated fat. In interviews with 513 randomly selected females, she determines that 300 consume too much saturated fat. In interviews with 564 randomly selected males, she determines that 391 consume too much saturated fat.
Do the data support the claim that the proportion of females who consume too much saturated fat is less than the proportion of males who consume too much saturated fat? Use α = 0.05 and the 4-step process.

The developer of a new filter for filter-tipped cigarettes claims that it leaves less nicotine in the smoke than does the current filter. Because cigarette brands differ in a number of ways, he tests each filter on one cigarette of each of nine randomly selected brands and records the difference in nicotine content. His results are given in the table below.

An investor with a stock portfolio worth several hundred thousand dollars sued his broker and brokerage firm because lack of diversification in his portfolio led to poor performance. The following data lists the rates of return, in percent, for a random sample of 39 months that the account was managed by the broker.
