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 $23.35 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) 7,500 hundred square feet
Travel to jobs Miles driven 81,500 miles
Job support Number of jobs 1,700 jobs
Other (costs of idle capacity
and organization-sustaining costs)
None Not applicable

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $348,000, which includes the following costs:

Wages $ 135,000
Cleaning supplies 32,000
Cleaning equipment depreciation 11,000
Vehicle expenses 30,000
Office expenses 58,000
President’s compensation 82,000
Total cost $ 348,000


Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

Cleaning Carpets Travel to Jobs Job Support Other Total
Wages 72 % 14 % 0 % 14 % 100 %
Cleaning supplies 100 % 0 % 0 % 0 % 100 %

Office expenses 0 % 0 % 63 % 37 % 100 %
President’s compensation 0 % 0 % 30 % 70 % 100 %


Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling
jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.


Required:

1. Prepare the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.


2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)


3. The company recently completed a 4 hundred square foot carpet-cleaning job at the Flying N ranch—a 58.00-mile round-trip journey from the company’s offices in Bozeman. Compute the cost of this job using the activity-based costing system. (Round your intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places.)


4. The revenue from the Flying N ranch was $93.40 (4 hundred square feet at $23.35 per hundred square feet). Prepare a report showing the margin from this job. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Using Bash script,

1. Print the multiplication table upto 10 rows. Ask the user to enter a number. say user enters 10, your output should be :

[srivatss@athena shell]> ./mult.sh
I will be printing the multiplication table
Please enter a number
10
1 x 10 = 10
2 x 10 = 20
3 x 10 = 30
4 x 10 = 40
5 x 10 = 50

6 x 10 = 60
7 x 10 = 70
8 x 10 = 80
9 x 10 = 90
10 x 10 = 100

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.  

[srivatss@athena shell]> ./cmds.sh

Question:

● Derive the class doctorType, inherited from the class personType, with an additional class member variable member to store a doctor’s specialty(string type) Then, implement following class member function prototypes.
doctorType(string,string,string);//Firstname Lastname Specialty
doctorType();//Default constructor
void setSpecialty(string);//Set doctor specialty
string getSpecialty()const;// Get doctor specialty
void print()const;//Display doctor information the same as given output format

● Derive the class patientType, inherited from the class personType, with additional class
member variables to store a patient’s id , age , and dob (Date of birth)(All are integer ).
Then, implement following class member function prototypes.
patientType(string, string, int, int, int);//Firstname Lastname id age dob
patientType();Default constructor
void setId(int);//Set patient id
void setage(int);//Set patient age
void setDob(int);//Set patient DOB
int getId()const;//Get patient id
int getage()const;//Get patient
int getDob()const;//Get patient DOB
void print()const; //Display patient information the same as given output format

● Design a class billType, with class member variables to store a patient’s information
( patientType ), the patient’s doctor’s information ( doctorType ), and the hospital
charges( double ). Then, implement following class member function prototypes.
billType(doctorType &, patientType &); // Constructor
void setCharge(double);//Set hospital charges
double getCharge()const;//Get hospital charges
void print()const;//Display a bill information the same as given output format

Use the provided driver program to test your program. You should get the same output
