Gallatin Carpet Cleaning is a small, family-owned business operating out of Bozeman, Montana. For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $23.40 per hundred square feet. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers—particularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time. The owner’s daughter, home for the summer from college, has suggested investigating this question using activity-based costing. After some discussion, a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools seemed to be adequate. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Activity for the year
Cleaning Carpets Square Feet Cleaned (00s) 9,000 Hundred Square Feet
Travel to Jobs Miles Driven 354,000 Miles
Job Support Number of Jobs 1,900 Jobs

Other (Costs of Idle

capacity and organization-sustaining costs

None Not Applicable

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $352,000, which includes the following costs:

Wages $136,000
Cleaning Supplies $34,000
Cleaning equipment depriciation $14,000
Vehicle expenses $26.000
Office expenses $61,000
President's Compensation $81,000
Total Cost $352,000

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

2. Create a Simple Calculator [ 20 points , 5 points for each operator]

Ask the user for the first operand, second operand and the operator. You output the result to the user based on the operator. Here is the sample output

[srivatss@athena shell]> ./calc.sh
Welcome to my Simple calculator
Please enter the first operand
2
Please enter the second operand
3
Please enter the operator
+
2 + 3 = 5


[srivatss@athena shell]> ./calc.sh
Welcome to my calculator
Please enter the first operand
4
Please enter the second operand
2
Please enter the operator
-
4 - 2 = 2
[srivatss@athena shell]> ./calc.sh
Welcome to my calculator
Please enter the first operand
4
Please enter the second operand
5
Please enter the operator

4 * 5 = 20
[srivatss@athena shell]> ./calc.sh
Welcome to my calculator
Please enter the first operand
6
Please enter the second operand
3
Please enter the operator

6 / 3 = 2

3. Using RANDOM function and touch command , create a file with prefix =BatchJob followed by the random number.  

For instance, I ran my script, it created a file with random number 10598.
