1. A company has a production at a rate of 200 units per day. 80 units will be sold daily. The production will take place five days a week, 48 weeks a year. It usually takes a full day to get the machine ready for another production run, at a cost of $300. Inventory holding costs will be $10 a year. (calculate to2 decimal places)

a. What is the optional run size and lowest annual cost for carrying and setup?

b. What are the cycle time and run time for the optimal run quantity?

c. If the company wants to run another production for a new product between runs of this item, and needs a minimum of 10 days per cycle for the other work, will there be enough time?

Write a program that uses a structure to store the following weather data for a particular month: Total Rainfall High Temperature Low Temperature Average Temperature.

The program should have an array of 12 structures to hold weather data for an entire year.

When the program runs, it should ask the user to enter data for each month. (The average temperature should be calculated.)

Once the data are entered for all the months, the program should calculate and display the average monthly rainfall, the total rainfall for the year, the highest and lowest temperatures for the year (and the months they occurred in), and the average of all the monthly average temperatures. Input Validation: Only accept temperatures within the range between –100 and +140 degrees Fahrenheit.

9. A 60 kg football receiver starts from rest, accelerating at a rate of 0.36 g’s for 1.42 seconds until he runs as fast as he can. A ball of mass 0.25 kg is thrown, and the player catches the ball 3.35 seconds after the play starts. If the ball is travelling at 16 m/s when the player catches it, (a) how far down field did the player catch it, (b) what will the player’s final speed be after catching the ball, (c) what are the kinetic energies of the ball and player separately before the catch, and (d) what is the kinetic energy of the ball – player system after the catch? (e) Compare your results of (c) and (d) and explain.

JAVA PROGRAM, Create the game "Rock, Scissor, Paper":

1. Make the AI pick randomly. You need to look up Random numbers in Java.
2. First ask the user what language they want to play in. Choice 1 is English, but choice 2 can be whatever real language you want.
3. Your first loop is making sure they enter good input.
4. If there is a tie you don't give them the option to play again. They have to.
5. Outer loop runs until they say they don't want to play again.
6. Display how many wins and losses the player had only after they quit. Remember, variables are free. If you need the computer to keep track of something, make a variable.

2. Interpret the error term in this model. What does it represent?

3. Identify the least squares point estimates of b₀, b₁, b₂, b₃, and b₄ from your software output. Approximate these to four decimal places when necessary.

4. Write a multiple regression equation that relates sale price to square footage, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, and age.

5. Does the model explain a substantial portion of the variability in sale prices? Explain.

6. Do the signs and magnitudes of the estimated coefficients appear to be reasonable? Explain.

7. Write the multiple regression hypotheses to be tested.

8. Use F test to test the adequacy of the model with a = .05. Interpret the result of this test.

9. Use the p-value from your software output to test the importance of each of the independent variables x₁, x₂, x₃, and x₄ at a= .05. Which variables are not important? Explain.

10. Use the residential sales estimated equation to predict sales price of a residence that has 1700 square feet, seven rooms, and three bedrooms and is 15 years old.

Suppose there are two beer companies. One produces a beer that has a high alcohol content (ABV 10%), while the other company produces a light beer that has a low ABV (5%). Assume there are 50 consumers whose preferences for alcohol content (ABV) are uniformly distributed between 5% and 10%. Consumers all value drinking a beer their ideal beer at $10 but dislike a beer with a different ABV than their ideal ABV by $1 per percentage point. That is, if I prefer a beer with 6% ABV and I drink the light beer, my utility will be $1 lower. If I prefer a beer with 5.5% and I drink the light beer my utility will be $0.50 lower. Marginal cost is the same for both companies and is equal to $1. The two companies compete by choosing prices simultaneously.

1. What is the utility of purchasing the low ABV beer for a consumer whose preferred beer contains x ABV?

2. What is the utility of purchasing the high ABV beer for a consumer whose preferred beer contains x ABV?

3. Find an expression for the “location” of marginal consumer given pl and ph. In other words, given prices, what is the ABV preference for a consumer who is indifferent between consuming the light beer and the heavy beer. Call this function x m(pl , ph).

4. What happens to the “location” of the marginal consumer as the price of the heavy beer increases?

5. Using this expression, what is the demand curve for the two beers?

6. What is the profit function for each firm?

7. What is the best response function of each firm?

8. Solve for the pure strategy Nash Equilibrium in prices. What are profits in this equilibrium?

You are an Audit Senior currently planning the 30 June 20X9 audit of Technology Limited, an Australian-owned company that produces and exports computer chips to China. At a recent planning meeting with Technology Limited’s senior staff, you obtained the following overview of this year’s operations:

Tight checks by Australian custom officials have delayed several shipments of computer chips. These delays have angered Chinese customers who are threatening to deduct 20% from the amounts owing as compensation for lost production time.

One of Technology Limited’s customers, Blue Chip Limited, is claiming that the latest batch of computer chips it received was found to be faulty. Blue Chip Limited is refusing to pay its account, which is allegedly seven months overdue. Technology Limited has claimed to have launched an investigation into the allegations, but as yet not been able to substantiate them. Technology Limited has suffered significant cash flow problems because another major customer, Creative Limited (Creative), is experiencing financial difficulties. As a result, Creative is taking well over 120 days to pay outstanding amounts, despite Creative’s terms of trade being payment within 30 days. Creative makes up 40 per cent of Technology Limited’s sales and the board has been reluctant to take any action that might adversely affect those sales. Consequently, Technology Limited has had to increase its dependency on its line of credit, and this has caused it to temporarily breach the debt to equity ratio required in its loan covenant with Big Bank Limited.

One of Technology Limited’s major suppliers went bankrupt one month ago, causing major product shortages. To overcome the problem, Peter James, the husband of the finance director, Natalie James, provided electronic components used in the production of computer chips to Technology Limited through his private company Norton Limited. Norton Limited demands payment in $US prior to the electronic components being supplied. There is no formal agreement in place with Peter James, however, the goods are being provided at competitive prices. You are concerned about the electronic components that Peter James’ company is supplying, because his products are new to the market and you have heard some of Technology Limited’s staff complaining that they are of poor quality.

Due to increased competitive pressure, Technology Limited has recently moved the manufacture of some of its computer chips to Bangladesh. Technology Limited saves around 25 per cent in costs compared to the equivalent Australian made items. However, the manufacturing process takes longer and on a few occasions late delivery from Bangladesh has resulted in lost sales.

Last month, a protester suffered a broken leg, allegedly because he was hit by a company truck. The protester is now suing Technology Limited for damages, claiming the contractor was in fact an employee of Technology Limited at the time of the accident, and was acting on Technology Limited’s instructions. Technology Limited is fighting the case and appears to have a reasonable chance of winning; however, the adverse publicity being generated is making the company nervous about its sales in the future.

During the period, the Australian dollar has remained steady against the Chinese Yuan, although it fell by about 3% against the US dollar. Debtors are invoiced in $US at the time of shipment, and payment is received in $US one month after the shipment is delivered. It takes around six weeks for the charter vessels to travel from Technology Limited’s shipyard at Bigmantle Bay to China. A recent downturn in the Chinese economy is affecting forward orders, which have fallen by 15%.

Prepare a memorandum to the audit manager, outlining your risk assessment relating to Technology Limited. When making your risk assessment:

(a) Identify two (2) balance sheet accounts from the information provided that are subjected to an increase in audit risk.
