You’ve learned that it was important for African-Americans to attempt to retain their African musical traditions in America. In order to do so, they had to compromise, finding ways to blend their musical practices with European values regarding music, religion, and society. You’ve also learned about the incredible hardships Africans faced traveling against their will to America. Unquestionably their journey was frightening beyond belief. Because they were not allowed to take possessions with them, how important do you think their musical traditions became to them on their journey? What did their music mean to them in a foreign land? Have you ever been in an unfamiliar, frightening, or disappointing situation? Did you perhaps seek familiar music for comfort? Did music help you through those moments? Briefly describe a situation in which you may have sought music as an antidote to disappointment, or as magic to enhance a particular moment. What music did you choose? Does that that particular music still have a similar affect when you hear it now? Instructions: Your paper should be a minimum of 2 paragraphs, double-spaced, written in 12 pt font, and must conform to MLA guidelines. Do not use extra spaces between paragraphs.

Problem 16-7AA FIFO: Process cost summary, equivalent units, cost estimates LO C2, C3, C4, P4

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Dengo Co. makes a trail mix in two departments: roasting and blending. Direct materials are added at the beginning of each process, and conversion costs are added evenly throughout each process. The company uses the FIFO method of process costing. During October, the roasting department completed and transferred 26,000 units to the blending department. Of the units completed, 4,900 were from beginning inventory and the remaining 21,100 were started and completed during the month. Beginning work in process was 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. The company has 4,300 units (100% complete with respect to direct materials and 70% complete with respect to conversion) in process at month-end. Information on the roasting department’s costs of beginning work in process inventory and costs added during the month follows.

Problem 16-7A Part 1

Required:
1. Prepare the roasting department's process cost summary for October using the FIFO method. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)

Problem 16-7A Part 2

2. Prepare the journal entry dated October 31 to transfer the cost of completed units to the blending department. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

• Record the transfer of goods from Roasting to Blending.

Instructions:
1. Please use only C as the language of programming.
2. Please submit the following: (1) the client and the server source files each (2) a brief Readme le that shows the usage of the program.
3. Please appropriately comment your program and name all the identifiers suitable, to enable enhanced readability of the code.

Problem:
Write an ftp client and an ftp server such that the client sends a request to ftp server for downloading a file. The server responds
with the contents of the file which is then stored on the client's local directory. The server checks the size of
the file before responding and if the file size is greater than 1024 bytes, instead of sending the file, the server
responds with the message "File size greater than 1 KB" and waits further for another request from the
client. The connection is terminated only when client terminates the same.

Modify the username.py program (see the lecture slide) to generate usernames using the user’s first initial, followed by up to 3 first letters of the user’s last name, and a number of total characters in the last name. User input can be up- or low-case. But the generated usernames contains only low-case characters and a number.

For example, if the person’s name is “Albert Einstein” à the username shall be ”aein8”

Tip: use len() function and string’s lower() method

To create the program(10 points): :

1. Create a module named h02_username2.py from the directory hw

2. Record your name, class number, and date of creation using python comment statement.

3. Write the code to implement the required tasks.

When you have completed the program, run the program and capture and paste the output below:

Profit Center Responsibility Reporting for a Service Company

Thomas Railroad Company organizes its three divisions, the North (N), South (S), and West (W) regions, as profit centers. The chief executive officer (CEO) evaluates divisional performance using income from operations as a percent of revenues. The following quarterly income and expense accounts were provided from the trial balance as of December 31:

The company operates three service departments: the Dispatching Department, the Equipment Management Department, and the Treasurer’s Department. The Treasurer’s Department and general corporate officers’ salaries are not controllable by division management. The Dispatching Department manages the scheduling and releasing of completed trains. The Equipment Management Department manages the inventories of railroad cars. It makes sure the right freight cars are at the right place at the right time. The Treasurer’s Department conducts a variety of services for the company as a whole. The following additional information has been gathered:

Required:

1. Prepare quarterly income statements showing income from operations for the three regions. Use three column headings: North, South, and West. Do not round your interim calculations.

Feedback

1. Determine the dispatching rate per train by dividing service cost by output. For each division's dispatching cost, multiply the dispatching rate by the number of scheduled trains. Repeat this process for the other service department charges. Subtract the service department charges for a division from that division's income from operations before such charges.

2. What is the profit margin of each division? Round to one decimal place.

Identify the most successful region according to the profit margin.
West

3. What would you include in a recommendation to the CEO for a better method for evaluating the performance of the divisions?

1. The method used to evaluate the performance of the divisions should be reevaluated.
2. A better divisional performance measure would be the rate of return on investment (income from operations divided by divisional assets).
3. A better divisional performance measure would be the residual income (income from operations less a minimal return on divisional assets).
4. None of these choices would be included.
5. All of these choices (a, b & c) would be included.
