Soap Makers International

Several years ago, Ingrid Krause wanted some international expertise and applied for a transfer to her company’s soap division, which is located south of Warsaw, Poland. The soap division manufactures hand soap for use in a large number of settings, from hospitals to luxury hotels. Ingrid was awarded the transfer to the soap division and was assigned to the accounting department. She is responsible for overseeing the costing and probability analysis of the various soaps and soap-making processes. During her tenure in the soap division, there were numerous changes in the number of soaps manufactured and the processes to make the different soaps. Consequently, Ingrid’s position required her to consider changes in the accounting processes to reflect the changes in the soap division’s business.

For several decades, the company’s soap-making process required a large labour force that manufactured and packaged the soap mainly by hand. Local economic changes meant that the labour force that the factory required was not as available as it had been in the past. As a result, the division was experiencing slower processing time, and more snap being rejected during inspections because of quality concerns. To address the issues related to the lack of labour availability, the division’s management decided three years ago that automation was the way to go. Consequently, over the last three years, the soap making processes have changed with the implementation of automation.

The automation of the soap making processes have allowed for a much larger variety of soap and packing, a reduced direct labour force and direct labour costs, and a higher level of traceability of costs to the various soaps because of technological improvements. Soaps made for industrial applications require different ingredients, less time in processing, less time in finishing, and less time in and cheaper packaging than do soaps for the hotel industry. The costs of materials and packaging are directly traceable to the various types of soaps through new software that uses bar codes and counters to trace material costs to the various soaps directly.

Ingrid feels that the current costing system should be revisited. The cost driver for allocation of the overhead costs (such as supervisory salaries and plant utilities) have always been direct labour hours cost. However, given the decline in the use of labour due to automation, Ingrid is questioning its suitability as a basis of allocation. Ingrid would like to explore activity based costing to allocate overhead costs.

Ingrid has gathered cost data for two representative soaps: one sold to hospitals and one sold to hotels. Further, Ingrid has gathered data from the automated system on the amount of time each type of soap spends in the three manufacturing processes: processing, finishing, and packaging. The soap is produced in large batches, consequently, the data are adjusted to reflect the average cost per 100g of soap. The data for type of soap for one month’s production are in Exhibit 1.

REQUIRED

1. Calculate the costs (of direct material, direct labour, and overhead) for each of the two representative types of soap using direct labour as the basis for the allocation of overhead.

Java Programming Project 6: File I/O

Purpose: To practice reading from as well as writing to text files with the help of Scanner class methods, and PrintStream class methods. You will also learn to implement some simple Exception Handling.

Carefully examine and follow ALL the program specifications.

Take a look at the PPT slides for Chapter 7 File I/O for examples that will help with this program.

Hotel Expense Recording Keeping:

A hotel bookkeeper enters client hotel expenses in a text file. Each line contains the following, separated by semicolons: client name, service sold (i.e., Dinner, Conference, Lodging, etc.), the sales amount, and the date.

1. Your program should first query the user for the name of the input file and read it in. Display an error if the input file is not found (does not exist).
2. Then the program should read the file (line by line), keep a running tally of the total amount for each kind of service,
3. Finally display the total amount for each service category. In addition to displaying totals on the screen, the totals should also be written to an output file.
4. Additionally your program should include some exception handling. An Exception that should be checked (and handled) would be a FileNotFoundException.

Attached (and below) is an example input file that your program will be tested with, so you will need to make sure that you program will run correctly using this file. Since this may be your first experience reading from an input file, you will likely find it easiest if you store the input file in the same folder with your Java program file so that they can easily communicate with one another. The easiest way to store this file is as a plain text file in Notepad (do not use MS word or any other sophisticated word processor or you will be processing embedded text commands, which is not at all recommended). Here is what the input file looks like:

Jason Inouye;Conference;250.00;11/10/2016

Jason Inouye;Lodging;78.95;11/10/2016

Mary Ryan;Dinner;16.95;11/10/2016

Mark Twain;Dinner;25.50;11/10/2016

Mark Twain;Spa;50.00;11/10/2016

Steven Hawking;Conference;250.00;11/10/2016

Steven Hawking;Room Service;45.00;11/11/2016

Steven Hawking;Lodging;78.95;11/11/2016

Ayrton Senna;Room Service;23.20;11/10/2016

Ayton Senna;Dinner;22.50;11/10/2016

Ayton Senna;Lodging;78.95;11/10/2016

One feature of the input file, is that it uses a semicolon (;) to delimit the tokens on each line of input, rather than whitespace. You will need to use a delimiter statement after you construct your line scanner object.

To see how to construct a line scanner object, go to Chapter 7 PowerPoint slide in the Week 13 folder. So for example, if you create an object called lineScan of type Scanner to process tokens on a given line of input, then you could call the useDelimiter method on your lineScan object, as follows:

lineScan.useDelimiter(";");

This will allow you to tokenize each input line based, not on white space delimiters, but using the semicolon as a delimiter instead.

This is what should be in your Output file after you run your program (this file will most likely be located in the same folder as your Java program).

Dinner expenses : 64.95
Lodging expenses : 236.85
Conference expenses : 500.00
Room Service expenses : 68.20
Spa expenses : 50.00

Submission Requirements:

1. Please be sure to use appropriate prologue comments at the top of your program, Javadoc formatted comments for your methods, as well as inline comments within the body of your code (as needed).

The patient you took care of today, Sharon Cole, was subsequently transferred to a psych hospital involuntarily because she declined to sign voluntary consents. She states that she is going to sue you and the hospital for involuntarily admitting her, restraining her, and forcing medication on her. You begin to prepare your defense in case it does go to court. For your defense, explore the following points. Be sure to include sources and a reference list using APA format.

• Cole states that you held her against her will in the hospital when she was involuntarily admitted. What behaviors/mental status concerns was she exhibiting that justified an involuntary admission? What are the legal standards that exist for involuntary admission?
• Cole states that you assaulted her when you restrained her and administered IM injections. What behavior concerns could she exhibit that would justify restraints? What are the legal standards that exist for restraining a patient?
• Cole does not want to continue to take her lithium after discharge. What recourse does Mr. Cole or her provider have to enforce compliance with her medications?
