ALPHA Company makes three types of sunglasses: Nerds, Stars, and Fashions. ALPHA Company presently allocates overhead to products using a rate based on direct labor-hours. A consultant recommended that ALPHA switch to activity-based costing. Management decided to give ABC a try and identified the following activities, cost drivers, and costs for a typical year for each activity center. Use this information to compute the overhead rates for each cost driver.

In addition, there are 2,500 direct labor-hours in a typical year.

Assume the following activities occurred in February of 2011:

Direct labor costs are $15 per hour.

Requirement:

1. Calculate the activity cost rates for (each activity center.

2. Cost out the three products using an activity-based costing system.

Note : the Answers should be computerized Please

Problem in chapter 15 of Java book. Need a solution please! Problem: Standard telephone keypads contain the digits zero through nine. The numbers two through nine each have three letters associated with them (as seen below). Many people find it difficult to memorize phone numbers, so they use the correspondence between digits and letters to develop seven-letter words that correspond to their phone numbers. For example, a person whose telephone number is 686-2377 might use this tool to develop the seven-letter word “NUMBERS.” 2: A B C 3: D E F 4: G H I 5: J K L 6: M N 0 7: P R S 8: T U V 9: W X Y Every seven-letter phone number corresponds to many different seven-letter words, but most of these words represent unrecognizable juxtapositions of letters. It’s possible, however, that the owner of a barbershop would be pleased to know that the shop’s telephone number, 424-7288, corresponds to “HAIRCUT.” A veterinarian with the phone number 738-2273 would be pleased to know that the number corresponds to the letters “PETCARE.” An automotive dealership would be pleased to know that the dealership number, 639-2277, corresponds to “NEWCARS.” Write a program that prompts the user to enter a seven-digit telephone number as input and calculates all possible seven-letter word combinations. After sorting the result, print the first and last 10 combinations.

Burnside Marketing Research conducted a study for Barker Foods on several formulations for a new dry cereal. Three attributes were found to be most influential in determining which cereal had the best taste: ratio of wheat to corn in the cereal flake, type of sweetener (sugar, honey, or artificial), and the presence or absence of flavor bits. Seven children participated in taste tests and provided the following part-worths for the attributes (see section 13.4 ):

1. An instructor in a college biology course wants to test a new method for learning Punnett squares. He begins by pairing students with similar entrance exam scores (ACT scores). Then he randomly selects one student from each pair to receive a new curriculum on Punnett squares, while the other student receives the traditional curriculum. At the end of the semester, he administers a genetics quiz with multiple Punnett square problems and records the number of errors. There are 24 students in this experiment. The data are as follows:

Using a standard table of Wilcoxon signed-rank critical values, determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in the number of Punnett square errors between students exposed to the intervention versus those in the control group. Use a two-tailed test and an alpha = 0.05. Write your brief conclusion for an educated lay person.

Inventory Management

Your company keeps fleets of vehicles at a number of sites around the country. At each site the vehicles can be classified into two types: light and heavy. A heavy vehicle costs more per day, but it can do any task that a light vehicle can do. You would like to determine what mix of vehicles your company should have at each site. If you do not have enough vehicles of the appropriate size to meet the demand on a given day, you must rent the vehicles. Some cost data were collected on the cost of various vehicle types:

Vehicle Type             Daily fixed cost          Daily variable cost (if used)

Owned Light               $32                              $40

Owned Heavy                         $44                              $54

Rented Light               0                                  $175

Rented Heavy             0                                 $225

At a particular site, your company collected demand data for the number of vehicles required on each of seven days:

Day     Lights             Heavies

1          6                      0

2          3                      2

3          5                      4

4          8                      3

5          2                      1

6          4                      4

7          1                      2

Based on just the above data, what is your recommendation for the number of vehicles to own of each type at this site? What is your weekly cost?

1. The number of raisins in buns has Poisson distribution with an average of 5 raisins per bun.

a) Bob buys a bun every day. What is the expected number of buns he buys before he finds a bun with no raisins at all?

b) Joe bought a bun for breakfast and cut it into two equal parts. What is the probability that at least one of these parts has no raisins in it?

c) Emily bought seven buns in the last month. What is the probability that fewer than two of these buns had at least three raisins in them?
