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 $22.60 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, she designed a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below:

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $379,000 which includes the following costs:

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

Job sup 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 200 square foot carpet-cleaning job at the Flying N Ranch—a 52-mile round-trip journey from the company’s offices in Bozeman. Compute the cost of this job using the activity-based costing system.

The Following Information Applies to Questions 21-25:

Johnson Corporation plans to obtain financing with a $1,000,000 bond issue that has a term of 10 years. Payments will be made semi-annually.

21. If the bond (payment) rate is stated at 7%, and the bonds call for semi-annual payments, what is the amount of those payments?

22. Completely ignore number 21. Assume that the semi-annual cash payments have already been correctly computed to be $45,000. Given this number, and remembering that the face value of the bonds ($1,000,000) will be paid out at the end of the 10 years, what is the total issue price (present value) of the bonds if the market rate for bond issues of similar risk is 8%, compounded semi-annually? Choose from among the following factors in making your computations. (PVS=Present Value Single, and PVA=Present Value Annuity):

PVS:                         4%      8%                                         PVA:                        4%       8%

10 periods             .676        .463                                        10 periods             8.111      6.710

20 periods             .456        .215                                        20 periods             13.59      9.818

23. Completely ignore numbers 21 and 22. Assume that the market rate for bond issues of similar risk is 6%, compounded semi-annually, and that the total issue price for these bonds has already been correctly calculated to be $1,149,120. Given this number, and the market rate of interest, how much interest expense will accrue and be recorded at the end of the first 6 month period?

24. Completely ignore numbers 21 - 23. Assume that the semi-annual cash payments on the bonds are $50,000, and that the accrued interest on the bonds for the first 6 month period is only $48,700. The carrying value of the bonds will change by an amount of:

25. Completely ignore numbers 21-24. Assume the total issue price for these bonds has already been correctly calculated to be $1,020,000, and that the semi-annual cash payment made at the end of the first 6 month period exceeds the accrued interest expense for the period by $2,700. What is the new carrying value of the bonds?

The Marco family—comprising Mrs. Marco aged 40, Mr. Marco, aged 39, and their three young children— relocated to Barcelona in January 2020 when Mrs. Marco received a job offer from an international firm. They rented a three-bedroom condominium in Barcelona for 2.100€ per month, which included parking and fees.

While renting made life easy, the Marco family began weighing the pros and cons of purchasing a flat, in the same building, that became available in June 2020. The idea of home ownership as a form of long-term investment appealed to the couple. The preliminary rental payments could be used for mortgage payments instead.

While searching for the right property they found a nice apartment at one of the best locations of the city. The apartment was owned and had been promoted by a state-owned construction company and was offering two alternatives:

Option I: renting the apartment with a perpetual contract, meaning forever.

The family was very happy living in that area, and they had the chance to live there forever at an offered price of 1,650 EUR the first month, and the rent price will be growing by a 0.125% monthly. This option would prevent the Marco family from applying for a loan, which represented a heavy burden off the family’ budget.

Option II: consisted in acquiring the property with a mortgage scheme for 35 years. The total price of the apartment is 875.000€. The family can pay an initial down payment of 275,000 EUR and the rest (600,000 EUR) to be paid in constant monthly payments with an annual interest rate of a 2.75% compounded monthly.

Mrs. Marc establishes the maximum amount they can pay monthly as 2.250€.

In this case (yearly payments) what is the total amount the Marco family will have paid in total after 35 years? (again, just find how much has Mrs. Marconi paid in total)

1)In this case (yearly payments), how much has the family saved (if any) by paying yearly instead of monthly installments?

2)In case that the Marco family pays the pending amount in yearly payments, the owner can only grant them 2.75% interest during the first 10 years.

3) There is the possibility that, after the first 10 years the interest rate increases to a 3.25% for the remaining 25 years. How much should the Marco family pay per year from year 11 onwards if this occurs?

Zero Defects & On-target: There are two manufacturing philosophies of manufacturing. Zero-defects is primarily practiced by American manufacturers and on-target is generally adopted by Japanese companies. Taking an example for an assembly, show how you will choose the target dimensions if you want to be close to the ideal by one SD, two SDs, and three SDs for both manufacturing philosophies. You may assume any adequate SD dimension.

Example: Say the dimension and tolerance given to you is 100 mm (+2 mm / -0 mm). This means the dimension will have the lower specification limit (LSL) of 100 mm and the upper specification limit (USL) of 102 mm, with a needed target of 100 mm. Now say you ran the parts on the machine and found the SD for a set of 30 parts to be 0.03 mm.

With this information you can now attempt to find what target you should aim the machine at.

Ideally the target will be 100 mm but because of the variation in the process, it cannot be 100 mm, but we can be as close to it as possible. The distance we can be away from it for 68% of the output to be good will be 1x SD, for 95% it will be 2 x SD and for 99.73% it will be 3 x SD.

Hence the targets will be as follows:

1) 68% will be 100 + 1x SD = 100 + (1 x 0.03) = 100.03 mm

2) 95% will be 100 + 2x SD = 100 + (2 x 0.03) = 100.06 mm

3) 99.73% will be 100 + 3x SD = 100 + (3 x 0.03) = 100.09 mm

We had to make a "multipath adventure" for our C++ class. I chose to do one on the basic steps to go through if your car doesn't start. (I did it before I found out we would have to code it. Big mistake.) Here's the code to mine:

#include
#include
using namespace std;

int main() {
string userChoice;

cout << "You wake up one morning to go to school, and you're car won't start. Do you: " << endl;
cout << "a) Check for electrical problems, " << endl;
cout << "b) Check for fuel problems, " << endl;
cout << "c) Check for ignition problems, " << endl;
cout << " or d) Check for air flow problems? " << endl;


cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "Electrical: Do you start by trying to turn the engine over? Type \"a\" for yes and \"b\" for no." << endl;
  
cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "The engine does not turn over at all. There is only a clicking noise. Type \"a\" to use the multimeter" << endl;

cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "Using a multimeter, you check the battery charge. It's dead. Do you \"a\" replace the battery or \"b\" try a jump start?" << endl;

cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "You replace the battery. The car runs fine on the way home, but when you come back to start it again, it's dead. Type \"a\" to test the alternator" << endl;

cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "You test the alternator. You see that it is most likely bad, or there is parasitic draw. Do you \"a\" replace the alternator, or \"b\" test for parasitic draw?" << endl;
  
cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "You replace the alternator. Good for you! Your car starts up every time now. The end." << endl;
}
  
  
}
else if (userChoice == "b") {
cout << "You test the wiring, but there is no draw. At least you know that your wires are in good condition! Type \"a\" to replace the alternator." << endl;

cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "You replace the alternator. Good for you! Your car starts up every time now. The end." << endl;
}
}

}
}
else if (userChoice == "b") {
cout << "You jump start the car, but as it runs, you see the voltage dropping again. Game Over. Try again!" << endl;
}
}
  
}
else if (userChoice == "b") {
cout << "You immediatley check the battery to see if it's dead. It seems to be that way. Maybe you should've tried starting the engine just to be sure. Game over! Try again." << endl;
}

else if (userChoice == "b") {
cout << "You turn the key and hear the fuel pump whine. That means the issue most likely isnt the fuel pump." << endl;
cout << "To check the injectors, type \"a\". To check the fuel lines, type \"b\". " << endl;

cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "You check the injectors using a screwdriver. You hear them clicking, meaning they are probably functioning properly. The engine is getting fuel. This isnt the problem. Try again!" << endl;
}
  
else if (userChoice == "b") {
cout << "Well, you just added another 30 minutes disassembling and reassembling your fuel. No problems here. If you had just check the injectors you would've known that...." << endl;
cout << "Game Over! Try again!" << endl;
}
}

else if (userChoice == "c") {
cout << "You pull each spark plug one by one. Each of them are sparking. None of them are rusted. No issues here. Game over! Try Again!" << endl;
  
}

else if (userChoice == "d") {
cout << "Do you start with the intake manifold? Type \"a\" for yes and \"b\" for no." << endl;

cin >> userChoice;
if (userChoice == "a") {
cout << "You spend another 30 minutes pulling the intake manifold apart. Nothing blocking here. Try again!" << endl;
}
else if (userChoice == "b") {
cout << "You instead check the air filter. It's still looking clean. The problem isnt air flow! Try again!" << endl;
}
  
}

else {
cout << "Invalid Entry" << endl;
}

return 0;
}

Now its telling us to add other things into it:

"Modify your Multipath Adventure from the previous lab to include loops. The criteria by which you will be graded are listed under "Deductions Graded by TAs". We suggest that you fulfill the requirements by doing the following:

• Use a while loop to enable the player to play your game multiple times
• Create an input function that utilizes a loop to prompt for and validate user input
  • Takes a prompt (string) as the argument
  • Returns the valid input (string)
• Use at least 1 for loop
  • Consider using for loop(s) to draw box or stars around prompt in your input function (see above)
• Use at least 1 instance of rand()

(If your code already fulfilled these, then you are done!)

If you need to, you can adjust the decision tree as you are programming. Resubmit the final decision tree with the lab submission quiz.

Note that you are allowed to use concepts we have not covered in class if you would like to. This might also help you in preparing for future labs.

As part of grading your lab, the TAs will randomly pick 2 paths through your decision tree to check your work. They will reference your submitted decision tree to choose the paths and make sure that when they run your code it takes them through the path as specified in your decision tree.

To make your game easier to play (and thus make it easier for the TAs to grade) you should provide prompts before each input that make clear what inputs are valid.

• You must adhere to the style guidelines. (up to 10 points)
• Your code must meet all of the Special Requirements from the previous Multipath Adventure Lab
  • It is fine if you re-organize your code and have different paths or functions than you did in Lab 4, but make sure that you still meet the requirements as listed in Lab 4.
  • If you re-organize your code, make sure to also update your Decision Tree
  • Make sure to review the deductions listed in the previous lab and any feedback you received to avoid losing points here.
• You must have at least 1 for loop in your code (15 points)
  • The for loop must actually be used as a loop, and it must have real effect in your program (it is theoretically possible to use the for loop syntax without actually using it as a loop or creating any real effect, but if you do this you will lose points)
• You must have at least 1 while loop in your code (15 points)
  • The note on for loops above applies equally to this deduction regarding while loops
• You must have at least 1 instance of rand() in your code (5 points)
  • Your use of rand() must have real effect in your program (it is possible to use rand() to generate a random number without actually using the random number, but if you do this you will lose points)"

Im so lost...

I made the decision tree before I had to code it. We can cut down on the number of decisions and branches if needed, just as long as it fulfills the above requierments.
