Gary Stevens and Mary James are production managers in the Consumer Electronics Division of General Electronics Company, which has several dozen plants scattered in locations throughout the world. Mary manages the plant located in Des Moines, Iowa, while Gary manages the plant in El Segundo, California. Production managers are paid a salary and get an additional bonus equal to 10% of their base salary if the entire division meets or exceeds its target profits for the year. The bonus is determined in March after the company’s annual report has been prepared and issued to stockholders.

Shortly after the beginning of the new year, Mary received a phone call from Gary that went like this:

The final processing department in Mary’s production facility began the year with no work in process inventory. During the year, 290,000 units were transferred in from the prior processing department and 270,000 units were completed and sold. Costs transferred in from the prior department totaled $60,030,000. No materials are added in the final processing department. A total of $18,012,500 of conversion cost was incurred in the final processing department during the year.

Required:

1. Tom Winthrop estimated that the units in ending work in process inventory in the final processing department were 25% complete with respect to the conversion costs of the final processing department. If this estimate of the percentage completion is used, what would be the cost of goods sold for the year?

2. Does Gary Stevens want the estimated percentage completion to be increased or decreased?

3. What percentage completion would result in increasing reported net operating income by $70,200 over the net operating income that would be reported if the 25% figure were used?

All we have to do is pull a few strings, and we’ll be over the top! Mary: What do you mean?

Those percentage completion figures are supplied by Tom Winthrop, my lead supervisor, who I have always trusted to provide us with good estimates. Besides, I have already sent the percentage completion figures to corporate headquarters. Gary: You can always tell them there was a mistake. Think about it, Mary.

Type into a character array, or copy from an online source, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Write a C Language Program that will search for the following words and then print out the entire sentence from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address for every occurrence of each of the specified words:

            civil                  nation              nobly               people             place               proper

            Your program should search through the Gettysburg Address and find the answers, not pre-load them to print out once a particular word is sought.

This is my current code that I came up with:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
   char address[] = "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.";
   char line[50], word1 = "civil", word2 = "nation", word3 = "nobly", word4 = "people", word5 = "place", word6 = "proper";
   int loc, i, j, k=0;

   puts("Searching for the sentences that contain the words: civil, nation, nobly, people, place, proper\n");

   loc = strstr(address, word1); //searching for 'civil' in the string
   if (loc == NULL)
       puts("No match found.");
   else
       printf("%s", line);

   loc = strstr(address, word2); //searching for 'nation' in the string
   if (loc == NULL)
       puts("No match found.");
   else
       printf("%s", line);

   loc = strstr(address, word3); //searching for 'nobly' in the string

       puts("No match found.");
   else
