The company uses the step method to allocate support department costs to production departments. The overhead cost of the human resource department is allocated first based on square metres occupied. The overhead cost of the finance department is allocated based on the number of employees. Predetermined overhead rates in both the production departments are based on machine hours.
The product Nora Manha Company produces requires 4 machine hours per unit in the cutting department and 2 machine hours per unit in the assembly department. Prime cost for product is $10 per unit. Orange Company prices its product at full production cost plus 450% as profit margin.

Type of care provided
Care in this capacity can range from a short-term to long-term based upon the changing needs of the patient. Patient age can range from pediatric to elderly. Care can be provided in the patient’s private home, group home, or assisted living setting. Medical homes fall into this category and are a new focus of Accountable Care Organizations through the Affordable Care Act of 2010.
Scenario
As the Director of Human Resources within a home care environment, you are responsible for the ad- ministration of the organization’s labor budgets. Your Director of Clinical Services, who has a MSN, has presented some challenges regarding the compensation of her staff.
This specific assisted nursing facility focuses on long-term care, providing approximately 500 nursing and support personnel who deliver direct and indirect care to approximately 225 patients representing various stages of acuity and need for nursing care. Your overall labor budget represents approximately 60% of expense revenue.
The Director of Clinical Service complains that several of her registered nurses are threatening to leave the organization, allegedly because a competitor nearby pays their nurses higher wages. In fact, Direc- tor of Clinical Service asks for an across-the-board immediate pay adjustment of an additional $5.00 an hour for the nurses. She is awaiting a response from you before the day is over.
Question 1
What steps would you, as the Director of Human Resources, take to rectify this issue?
Instruction
In your capacity as the Director of Human Resources, develop a plan for how you would conduct an internal and external wage analysis of your organization and respond to the impact this would have on the organization.

An electronic company in the recruitment of employees, conducts two stages of selection, namely the interview stage and psychological testing. But because the cost of psychological testing is increasingly expensive, the company plans to cancel the psychological testing process if the results of the interview are good enough. For this reason, the company assumes a positive correlation between interviews and psychological tests. This means that workers who are hired usually have high scores on interview tests and psychological tests. For this reason, human resource managers are instructed to test whether the hypothesis is correct. Therefore, the Human Resources Manager took interviews and psychological tests from 35 applicants. Help these human resource managers by using the Spearman Correlation Test with an error rate of 0.01 !

What is the human resource cost of hiring and maintaining employees in a company? Studies conducted by Saratoga Institute, Price-Waterhouse-Coopers Human Resource Services, determined that the average cost of hiring and employee is $3,270, and the average annual human resource expenditure per employee is $1,554. The average health benefit payment per employee is $6,393, and the average employer 401(k) cost per participant is $2,258. According to a survey conducted by the American Society for Training and Development, companies annually spend an average of $955 per employee on training, and, on average, an employee receives 32 hours of training annually. Business researchers have attempted to measure the cost of employee absenteeism to an organization. A survey conducted by CCH, Inc. showed that the average annual cost of unscheduled absenteeism per employee is $660. According to this survey, 35% of all unscheduled absenteeism is caused by personal illness.

ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS
Using C++, you will implement a class called Tool. It should
have an int field called strength and a char field called type. You
may make them either private or protected. The Tool class should
also contain the function void setStrength(int), which sets the
strength for the Tool.
Create 3 more classes called Rock, Paper, and Scissors, which
inherit from Tool. Each of these classes will need a default
constructor that sets the strength to 1 and a non-default
constructor which will take in an int used to initialize the
strength field. The constructor should also initialize the type
field using 'r' for Rock, 'p' for Paper, and 's' for
Scissors.
These classes will also need a public function bool fight(Tool)
that compares their strengths in the following way:
Rock's strength is doubled (temporarily) when fighting scissors,
but halved (temporarily) when fighting paper.
In the same way, paper has the advantage against rock, and
scissors against paper.
The strength field shouldn't change in the function, which
returns true if the original class wins in strength and false
otherwise.
**A design choice that returns a type other than a bool for a win,
loss, or tie will not be penalized**
You may also include any extra auxiliary functions and/or fields in
any of these classes.
In addition, you will create a class called RPSGame, which allows a
human to play the rock, paper, scissors game against the computer.
Your RPSGame must have two Tool * for the human and computer tool
because you don’t know the new tool they’ll select with each round.
The RPSGame should also have three int fields to keep track of the
number of human_wins, computer_wins, and ties.
You can choose the strategy for the computer guesses, but it cannot
be based on what the human selected for a tool in the current
game!!! Example of a novice and veteran computer AI:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/science/rock-paper-scissors.html?_r=0
After the human selects the tool for the current game, display the
computer’s tool, a message describing who won, the current stats
for the wins and ties, and then ask the user if he/she wants to
play again.
Example Play of Game:
Welcome to Rock, Paper, Scissors! Do you want to choose different
strengths for the tools? (y-yes, n-no) n
Choose your tool (r-rock, p-paper, s-scissor, e-exit): r
Computer chose scissor.
You win!!!
Human wins: 1
Computer wins: 0
Ties: 0
Choose your tool (r-rock, p-paper, s-scissor, e-exit): r
Computer chose paper.
Computer wins! :-(
Human wins: 1
Computer wins: 1
Ties: 0
Choose your tool (r-rock, p-paper, s-scissor, e-exit): e
Things to consider:
If you choose to set different strengths for the tools, then you
need to prompt the user for his/her specific strength for their
tool, and you will need to select a specific strength for the AI
choice.
**If you selected one non-default strength for both, then you will
not be penalized**
You must have the proper constructors, destructors, and assignment
operator overload for the Tool, Rock, Paper, Scissor, and RPSGame
classes.
Your member variables in all classes must be private or protected
for encapsulation rules.
You must have your class definitions in a .h file and your
implemented classes in .cpp files.
You must also have your main function in a play_game.cpp file,
separated from the class implementations.

Hercules Exercise Equipment Co. purchased a computerized measuring device two years ago for $62,000. The equipment falls into the five-year category for MACRS depreciation and can currently be sold for $26,800. A new piece of equipment will cost $152,000. It also falls into the five-year category for MACRS depreciation. Assume the new equipment would provide the following stream of added cost savings for the next six years. Use Table 12–12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
