Making Company manufactures one product that is sold for $40 per unit in two geographic regions—the South and North regions. The following information pertains to the company’s first year of operations in which it produced 20,000 units and sold 17,500 units.

    Fixed selling and administrative expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .      $248,000

The company sold 12,500 units in the South region and 5,000 units in the North region. It determined that $125,000 of its fixed selling and administrative expenses is traceable to the North region, $75,000 is traceable to the South region, and the remaining $48,000 is a common fixed cost. The company will continue to incur the total amount of its fixed manufacturing overhead costs as long as it continues to produce any amount of its only product.

Required:

What is the unit product cost under variable costing?

What is the unit product cost under absorption costing?

There are 2 data sets below, choose which statistic to use and conduct your analysis . This is
completely up to you but note that your data will dictate what test you will run (see the book for examples and then compare to the examples below). Be creative and thorough in your analysis. I will expect 2 write-ups for both data sets.

Note: You will again need to use the tables in the back of the book to determine significance. Which table will be determined by which statistic you choose to use.

In a December 2012 poll of 1002 American adults, 802 thought that if nothing is done to reduce global warming in the future, it would be a serious problem for the United States. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who describe this problem as “serious”.

UNIX ONLY

Write a bash script that will accept a filename as a command line argument. Your script should first check whether the filename has been passed as argument or not (hint: at least one argument has to be provided). If no argument has been provided your script should display appropriate message and exit. If a file name has been provided, your script should check if the file exists in the current directory and display the contents of the file. Otherwise if the file does not exist it should display an appropriate error message

Probability – Bayes Theorem

Orion India manufactures special heavy duty printers which have chips with unique embedded software targeted to different countries. This is a requirement because of the local laws of the importing country. 20% of their production is exported to America, 30 percent to China and the remaining to Britain. Occasionally, the wrong chips are installed in the printers and the local facility in the importing country will have to replace the wrong chip with the correct one. Based on the past data, it was found that 5% of the printers exported to America require replacement of the chip. The corresponding percentages for Britain and China are 10% and 15% respectively. The usual maintenance cost of each printer, on average is Rs. 1200. On the other hand, whenever replacement of the chip is required, it will cost an additional Rs. 3,000.

1. What is the joint probability that a printer is exported to Britain and it requires a chip replacement?
2. What is the probability that a printer requires a chip replacement?
3. What is the probability that a printer is exported to America, given that it required a chip replacement?
4. What should be the amount that the company should charge towards the warranty, if it wants to earn an additional 10% profit on the warranty related costs (including usual maintenance and chip replacement)?
5. In the financial year 2012-13, the company had incurred Rs. 3 million towards maintenance and chip replacement costs. How should this cost be allocated across the three different countries?

America Industries has successfully completed production of its “tip calculators” and would like to perform a break-even profit model analysis. The combination of equipment purchase cost and other resource and facility fixed costs total $550,000. Each calculator costs $12 to produce, but will sell for $38.

a.) How many calculators does Kramerica need to sell in order to achieve a volume break-even point? – (30 points)

b.) What is the corresponding revenue break-even point? – (30 points)

c.) How can America use the volume break-even point value calculated in part (a)? NOTE: The Excel spreadsheet can be very useful for this part as it performs many of these calculations.) – (25 points). In other words:

a.) What types of recommendations would you make to America if the expected number of calculator sales is 22,000 over the next year? (i.e., Are they going to be profitable; if so, by how much?

b.) Is there going to be a loss; if so, how much? If there is a loss, what might you recommend?).

d.) Please sketch a plot of the “Revenues and Costs” versus the “Number of Calculators”, and include both the total revenue and total cost lines, and also the volume and revenue break-even points (you can do this manually). Clearly label the x-axis and y-axis, and indicate the points of Fixed Costs, volume break-even point, and revenue break-even point. – (15 points)

This is unix based server management

Part A

Steps in the exercise:

Write, and verify the operation of, an rsync command that will perform a differential backup in place of the copy command.

Verify that the rsync process is backing up only the incremental files by running it, then running it again, then adding a new file, and running again.

Include the option in rsync to delete any files that do not exist in the destination directory. Verify this by deleting a file and then running the sync process again.

Revise your cron process to use the rsync command.

Completion of this will require:

Installation of rsync (pkg install rsync).

Research into the man pages or other resources on rsync to discover the appropriate control switches to use to achieve the synchronization.

Submit a text document that describes what you have done, and uses screen shots or other evidence, such as a downloaded log file, display of the user cron, etc., to show how this was completed.

Part B

In this part, you will set up a remote backup to your jail.

Craft an rsync command that will backup up all files and directories, recursively, from your home directory to your jail backup location. Propagate deletes to the remote server.

Create a second cron that automates this backup to your jail. Set up the cron to run every hour. Log the output of the process to a log file that you will set up in /var/log.

Submit a text document that describes what you have done, and uses screen shots or other evidence, such as a downloaded log file, display of the user cron, etc., to show how this was completed.

An important part of employee compensation is a benefits package, which might include health insurance, life insurance, child care, vacation days, retirement plan, parental leave, bonuses, etc. Suppose you want to conduct a survey of benefits packages available in private businesses in Hawaii. You want a sample size of 100.

Some sampling techniques are described below. Categorize each technique as simple random sample, stratified sample, systematic sample, cluster sample, or convenience sample. Put your answer in the blank.

a. Assign each business in the Island Business Directory a number, and then use a random number table to select the businesses to be included in the sample. __________________________

b. Use postal ZIP Codes to divide the state into regions. Pick a random sample of 10 ZIP Code areas and then include all the businesses in each selected ZIP Code area. ________________________

c. Send a team of five research assistants to Bishop Street in downtown Honolulu. Let each assistant select a block or building and interview an employee from each business found. Each researcher can have the rest of the day off after getting responses from 20 different businesses. _____________________

d. Use the Island Business Directory. Number all the businesses. Select a starting place at random, and then use every 50th business listed until you have 100 businesses. _____________________

e. Group the businesses according to type: medical, shipping, retail, manufacturing, financial, construction, restaurant, hotel, tourism, other. Then select a random sample of businesses from each business type. ____________________
