Australia is a great place to live, but it is also a land of high taxes. In 2002, individual citizens and residents of Australia paid the following income taxes:Taxable Income (in A%)Tax on This Income$0 -$6,000Nil.$6,001 -$20,00017ȼfor each $1 over $6,000$20,001 -$50,000$2,380 plus 30ȼfor each $1 over $20,000$50,001 -$60,000$11,380 plus 42ȼfor each $1 over $50,000Over $60,000$15,580 plus 47ȼfor each $1over $60,000In addition, a flat 1.5% Medicare Levy is charged to income. Write a program to calculate how much income tax a person will owe based on this information. The program should accept a total income figure from the user, and calculate the income tax, Medicare Levy, and total tax payable by the individual.Use total income $7000 and $70000 as examples, calculate the medicare levy, income tax, and total tax. Save the output in the word or pdf file.Requirements: 1.You must use an if-elseif-...-else-endconstruct.2.When the program is run the following should appear:This program calculates the taxes for Australia.Enter the person’s total income:(calling the input function)3.Output should be as follows:For an income of $#.## the taxes are:---------------------------------------Medicare Levy => $#.##Income Tax => $#.##---------------------------------------Total Tax => $#.##

Scenario # 2 : Chicken International Group

You are the CEO of a chicken-processing company. The Vice President of marketing informs you that if you label your chicken as “free range” you can charge 20% more and greatly improve profit margins.

You find out that all that needs to be done to legally use the term “free range” is to open the door to the hen house for 5 minutes a day. This provides the chickens with access to the outdoors when, in fact, very few chickens will wander out when the door is open for 5 minutes. Moreover, the term “free range” may be used regardless of space per chicken, number of chickens, or amount of time spent outside.

• Phone cost: $1,079 each
• Phone RRP: $1,199 each
• Net weight: 163 g each
• Tare weight: 277 g each
• Annual inventory holding cost: 15%
• Cost per order to replenish inventory: $75
• Annual in-transit holding cost: 10%
• Freight rate: $7.50 per kg
• Time to process order for freight: 1 days
• Freight transit time: 3 days

Solve this problem using a non-linear programming (NLP) model to determine the followings:

a. Economic order quantity for the phone in units and in kg
b. The total cost for purchasing the phones
c. The total cost for ordering
d. The total cost for holding the inventory
e. The total cost for transportation
f. The total cost for holding the phones during transit
g. The total cost for this inventory plan

Individuals experience various mood states or emotions at varying times every day, both subtle changes and obvious changes, that can result in attitude alternations with both negative and positive effects and impair or facilitate performance. The connections in the brain between emotion and memory have been particularly interesting to researchers given that neural networks that are activated by mood states are linked with neural networks that process basic perceptual functions such as word processing. Dr. Siebert has conducted a number of research experiments inducing various mood states through the use of music and then studying the effects of mood on lexical processing. In this study, higher scores on the Mood State measure reflect higher levels of lexical processing. The average Mood State score is μ = 3. (Dr. Pennie S. Siebert)

1. Write null and alternative hypotheses (in words and notation) appropriate for this research scenario.

2. Compute a single sample t-test to test the hypotheses, use an α = .05, two-tailed.

3. Calculate Cohen's d measure of effect size and 95% confidence interval.

4. Write a results paragraph that interprets and explains the results of your tests.

Cost Comparison Analysis Economic issues are always to be considered during the process of program planning and evaluation. Economic evaluations are analyses that center on the cost of a program and the relationship of the cost to the outcome or impact of the program. A cost comparison analysis compares the costs of at least two programs. CEA, CBA, and CUA are examples of cost comparison analyses. Use the South University Online Library or the Internet to research on cost comparison analysis. Create a report in a 4- to 5-page Microsoft Word document that includes the following:

An analysis and explanation of the pros and cons of a CEA. Describe how health program planners would use a CEA to assist them in making decisions about their programs.

An analysis and explanation of the pros and cons of a CBA. Describe how health program planners would use a CBA to assist them in making decisions about their programs.

An analysis and explanation of the pros and cons of a CUA. Describe how health program planners would use a CUA to assist them in making decisions about their programs.

Select two public health programs that you would like to compare by means of an economic evaluation. Analyze, identify, and describe the type of economic analysis that you would use in the evaluation.

QUESTION 1

1. You are advising the management at the company ABC regarding their pricing decisions in relation to a new product. Existing information is as follows:

Direct materials $4 per unit; direct labor $3 per unit; variable manufacturing overhead $5 per unit; variable selling and administrative expenses $2 per unit; fixed manufacturing overhead expenses $$40,000; and fixed selling and administrative expenses $70,000.

There is an expectation that company will sell 20,000 units.

Required: (Please note that you should answer the questions in Word offline and please do NOT answer in the Blackboard!!!)

1. Determine the unit product cost if company uses an absorption costing approach in its cost-plus pricing.
2. Determine the target selling price given that company uses a 40 percent markup percentage.
3. It has been brought to your attention that company is making an investment of $100,000 in the making, marketing, and distribution of the 20,000 units of their new product. The management require a 50 percent return on this investment. Calculate the markup percentage on absorption costing given this information.
4. If the company only sells 15,000 units at $21 per unit what would be the return on investment?
5. Describe a limitation of the absorption costing approach to costing.
