California Dreamin' manufactures 1960’s style clothing and accessories. The company produces two main products: Floral and Tie-Dye. Currently the company uses a traditional overhead rate in which Manufacturing Overhead is allocated to products based on direct labor hours logged. The projected production levels for the period are 1,000 units of Floral and 500 units of Tie-Dye.
Due to profitability concerns, management is considering switching to Activity Based Costing (ABC). Management has divided Manufacturing Overhead Costs into three activities and cost pools: Assembly $32,000; Machine Setup $12,000; and Product Movement $102,600. Management has identified the following cost drivers for each overhead activity: direct labor hours for assembly, number of setups for machine setup, and number of moves for product movement.
The following information has been compiled for each product line:
|
Floral |

Parametric Equations Project (Launch Angle)
A 90mph fastball can leave a player’s bat at the speed of
110mph. Suppose a
batter hits such as fast ball at a height of three feet above the
ground to dead
center field where the distance of the 12 foot high outfield fence
is 410 feet
from home plate. The “launch angle” is the vertical angle at which
a ball leaves
a player’s bat after being hit.
Assuming the only force acting on the ball is gravity (−??
??/?
?
), determine
whether the batter hit a home run if the launch angle is ??°. Round
all
calculations to three decimal places.
Submission: You will be graded on both your math and writing
skills.
Therefore, all your written responses should be given in complete
sentences, and
all mathematical expressions should be well-defined and include
proper notation.
MS Word provides an equation feature under “Insert” which will
allow you to
format the mathematical expressions.
Your submission must include the title of the project and
underneath it your name.
The project will have three sections that must be titled
“Approach”, “Solution”
and “Reflections”. The format and grading of these sections is as
follows.
Approach: (5 points)
Write two or three paragraphs describing your approach to solving
this problem.
This should include the steps you will take as well as how you will
determine
whether your solution is reasonable.
Solution: (30 points)
In this section, you will provide your mathematical solution to the
problem. Each
mathematical expression you provide as part of your solution must
be described
or explained in writing. The manner in which your textbook presents
solutions to
word problems is a good model for this section. Be sure to provide
a sufficient
number of steps in detailing your solution. The textbook often
skips step in order
to limit page count; you are not under such a restriction; so don’t
skip steps. It
will count against you.
Reflections: (5 points)
Write a paragraph or two reflecting on this assignment. What did
you learn from
the assignment? Were there any calculations that were surprising to
you? What
changes might make the project more realistic?

Write a Python program for the following:
A given author will use roughly use the same proportion of, say, four-letter words in something she writes this year as she did in whatever she wrote last year. The same holds true for words of any length. BUT, the proportion of four-letter words that Author A consistently uses will very likely be different than the proportion of four-letter words that Author B uses. Theoretically, then, authorship controversies can sometimes be resolved by computing the proportion of 1-letter, 2-letter, 3-letter, ..., 13-letter words in the writing and then comparing it with the same statistics from known authors.
Your task is to write a Python program that computes the above statistics from any text file. Note that apostrophes do not count in the word length. For example, "he's" is a three-letter word. Words like hard-hearted should be replaced with two words with a space between them (hard hearted).
Name of input file: romeo_and_juliet.txt
Proportion of 1- letter words: 4.8% (1231 words)
Proportion of 2- letter words: 16.1% (4177 words)
Proportion of 3- letter words: 20.3% (5261 words)
Proportion of 4- letter words: 24.3% (6295 words)
Proportion of 5- letter words: 15.0% (3889 words)
Proportion of 6- letter words: 7.9% (2048 words)
Proportion of 7- letter words: 5.2% (1352 words)
Proportion of 8- letter words: 3.7% (953 words)
Proportion of 9- letter words: 1.5% (378 words)
Proportion of 10- letter words: 0.7% (190 words)
Proportion of 11- letter words: 0.3% (71 words)
Proportion of 12- letter words: 0.1% (20 words)
Proportion of 13- (or more) letter words: 0.0% (12 words)
Here the program is tested on the full text of Romeo and Juliet but it should work for any file. The sample run above shows the actual proportion and count of different sized words in the file. Hint: make sure to replace each character in ",.!?;:][-\"" in the text with a space before doing any splitting.
