Explain the purpose of Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002

Your assignment consists of different question styles including discussion questions, reports, exercises, problem questions and spreadsheet questions. It assesses learning outcomes as listed in the assignment rationale below.

The purpose of this assignment is to continue to develop skills in costing systems with an emphasis on the role of control in managing the production of goods and services efficiently in the workplace. Each question builds on the knowledge gained through the first assignment to develop the concepts of management accounting control through costing. Each question uses realistic data and professional practices similar to that found in workplaces.

Question 1: Budget (20 marks in total)

Resort Island University is preparing its budget for the upcoming academic year. This is a specialised private university that charges fees for all degree courses. Currently, 15,000 students are enrolled on campus. However, the university is forecasting a 5 % growth in student numbers in the coming year, despite an increase in fees of $3,500 per subject. The following additional information has been gathered from an examination of the university records and conversations with university managers:

• Resort Island is planning to award scholarships to 150 students, which will cover their fees.
• The average class has 80 students, and the typical student takes 4 subjects per semester. Resort Island operates 2 semesters per year.
• The average academic staff salary is $120,000 per annum including on-costs.
• Resort Island's academic staff are evaluated on the basis of teaching, research administration and professional/community service. Each of the academic staff teaches the equivalent of three subjects during the academic year.

Required:

1. Prepare a revenue budget for the upcoming academic year
2. Determine the number of staff needed to cover classes.
3. Assume there is a shortage of full-time academic staff. List at least five actions that Resort Island might take to accommodate the growing student numbers.
4. You have been requested by the university's deputy vice chancellor (DVC) to construct budgets for other areas of operation (such as library, grounds, cafeteria, and maintenance). The DVC noted: 'The most important resource of the university is academic staff. Now that you know the number of staff needed, you can prepare the other budgets. Academic staff are indeed the key driver - without them we don't operate.' Does the DVC really understand the linkages with the budgeting process? Explain.

he upper boundaries for a distribution of waiting times (in seconds) in a grocery store aisle are 49, 60, 71, and 82. List the value for each lower boundary in this distribution.

Let C be the boundary of the quarter circle with radius 1, oriented counterclockwise (Figure 1). Evaluate H C(ex + y2) dx + (ey + x2) dy

Describe the following cloud computing principles:  

• Organizational boundaries (to include the trust boundary)
• Cloud delivery models (Iaas, PaaS, SaaS)
• Multi-tenant and resource pooling

Find the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the following boundary value problem.

y"+6y'-(L-8)=0, y(0)=0, y(2)=0 L == Lambda

Determine the amount of axial force (in N) to cause buckling-failure for a Long or Intermediate Column. (Hint: Only two buckling methods, Euler or Johnson, but determine which method you need to use first using determining equation)

Data:

Cross-Section is a hollow rectangle with a base of 40 mm, height of 40 mm, and a wall thickness of 10 mm.

Length of the column is 0.5 meters.

Material is a Steel with a young's modulus of 207 GPa.

Yield strength of 390 MPa

Boundary Constraint: Fixed on one end and Fixed on the other end

For boundary constraints, use the Theoretical value from table 4-2.

What's the difference between numerical method to calculate differential (backward, central, forward)? At what condition do I have to use forward over central and backward, etc? If there's boundary condition that permits the complete use of central method, what will happen if I still use forward, backward, and central regardless there's boundary condition that permits the use of central method?
note: I'm not used to describe pure mathematical problem in english, so I'm sorry if my question is hard to understand. feel free to add comment under this question and I'll explain it again, hopefully in clearer manner. thank you

A viscous incompressible fluid is between two parallel plates (that are along the x-z plane), one of them is at y = 0 and the other at y = d.

1. a) Considerthecasewheretheflowisstationaryinthezˆdirection, driven by a pressure gradient. Write down the Navier-Stokes equations and solve for the velocity field after imposing the relevant boundary conditions. [10 points]

2. b) The pressure gradient is now removed, but the plate at y = d is moved in an oscillatory fashion with velocity ue−iωt in the zˆ direction, while the other plate remains stationary. Write down the Navier-Stokes equations and solve for the velocity field after imposing the relevant boundary conditions. [15 points]
