Comparison of Methods of Allocation

Duweynie Pottery, Inc., is divided into two operating divisions: Pottery and Retail. The company allocates Power and General Factory department costs to each operating division. Power costs are allocated on the basis of the number of machine hours and general factory costs on the basis of square footage. No effort is made to separate fixed and variable costs; however, only budgeted costs are allocated. Allocations for the coming year are based on the following data: Use the rounded values for subsequent calculations.

Round all allocation ratios to four significant digits. Round all allocated amounts to the nearest dollar.

Required:

1. Allocate the support service costs using the direct method.

Note: Input to two decimal places.

2. Allocate the support service costs using the sequential method. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost.

Note: If an amount is zero, enter "0". Input to two decimal places.

3. Allocate the support service costs using the reciprocal method.

Note: If an amount is zero, enter "0". Input to two decimal places.

PYTHON PLS

1) Create a function search_by_pos. This function only has one return statement. This function returns a set statement that finds out the same position and same or higher skill number. This function searches the dictionary and returns the same position and same or higher skill level. The function output the set statements that include the position only.

For example

input : dict = {'Fiora': {'Top': 1, 'Mid': 4, 'Bottom': 3},'Olaf': {'Top': 3, 'Mid': 2, 'Support': 4},'Yasuo': {'Mid': 2, 'Top': 5},'Shaco': {'Jungle': 4, 'Top': 2, 'Mid': 1}}

def search_by_pos(dict, 4):

#ONLY ONE RETURN STATEMENT ALLOWED

output : {'Mid', 'Support','Top','Jungle'}

2) Create a function search_by_rank this function calculates the average skill level for each champion and returns the champion's name by highest to the lowest average skill level. If two champions have the same average skill level, it must appear in increasing alphabetical order by name. This function needs to have only one return statement.

For example

input : dict = {'Fiora': {'Top': 1, 'Mid': 4, 'Bottom': 3},'Olaf': {'Top': 3, 'Mid': 2, 'Support': 4},'Yasuo': {'Mid': 2, 'Top': 5},'Shaco': {'Jungle': 4, 'Top': 2, 'Mid': 1}}

def search_by_rank(dict):

#ONLY ONE RETURN STATEMENT ALLOWED

output: ['Yasuo', 'Olaf', 'Fiora', 'Shaco']

JAVA - Programming Exercise 10-5.

The developers of a free online game named Sugar Smash have asked you to develop a class named SugarSmashPlayer that holds data about a single player. The class contains the following fields: idNumber - the player’s ID number (of type int) name - the player's screen name (of type String) scores - an array of integers that stores the highest score achieved in each of 10 game levels Include get and set methods for each field. The get method for scores should require the game level to retrieve the score for. The set method for scores should require two parameters—one that represents the score achieved and one that represents the game level to be retrieved or assigned. Display an error message if the user attempts to assign or retrieve a score from a level that is out of range for the array of scores. Additionally, no level except the first one should be set unless the user has earned at least 100 points at each previous level. If a user tries to set a score for a level that is not yet available, issue an error message. Create a class named PremiumSugarSmashPlayer that descends from SugarSmashPlayer. This class is instantiated when a user pays $2.99 to have access to 40 additional levels of play. As in the free version of the game, a user cannot set a score for a level unless the user has earned at least 100 points at all previous levels.

The publisher of an online newspaper knows that there are two types of customers. ‘students’ and ‘non-students’. Although they cannot distinguish what type of buyer is actually making a purchase of a subscription, they know the demand curves for each type of buyer. These are given by the following:

Students: p = 80 - q
Non students: p = 100 - q
where is q is the number of articles that are purchased. Assume that the marginal cost of supplying articles equals zero.
a. What is the maximum willingness to pay for 80 articles for the students?
b. What is the maximum willingness to pay for 80 articles for non students?
c. Assuming that buyers purchase the subscription that gives them the maximum consumer surplus, and they only purchase one subscription, what will student buyers and non-student buyers do if faced with the following choices:
Basic: 80 articles at $32 per month.
Premium: 100 articles at $50 per month
d. Assuming that buyers purchase the subscription that gives them the maximum consumer surplus, and they only purchase one subscription, what will student buyers and non-student buyers do if faced with the following choices:
Basic: 80 articles at $32 per month.
Premium: 100 articles at $35 per month

e. What is the highest price that can be charged for the premium version so that the non- students purchase this rather than the basic subscription, given the price of the basic is $32.

f. What is this pricing behaviour called?

Please answer this two part question. Thank you!

For this assignment you must write the following functions in Scheme:

2.1 Write a recursive function called eval-poly that takes a list of numbers representing the coefficients of a polynomial and a value for ? and evaluates the polynomial for the given value of ?. The list of coefficients should start with the term of lowest degree and end with the term of highest degree. If any term of intermediate degree is missing from the polynomial it should have a coefficient of zero. For example, the polynomial ?3+4?2+2 would be represented by the list '(2 0 4 1). Hint: the polynomial above can be rewritten as 2+?⋅(0+?⋅(4+?⋅1))
> (eval-poly '() 0)

0

> (eval-poly '(5) 0)

5

> (eval-poly '(4 3) 2)

10

> (eval-poly '(2 7 1) 3)

32

2.2 Write a tail-recursive version of the previous problem called eval-poly-tail. It should call a helper function called eval-poly-tail-helper that uses tail recursion to keep a running sum of the terms evaluated so far. You might want to use the expt function to take a number to a power.
> (eval-poly-tail '() 0)

0

> (eval-poly-tail '(5) 0)

> (eval-poly-tail '(4 3) 2)

10

> (eval-poly-tail '(2 7 1) 3)

After yesterday’s board meeting, Albany Construction Limited (ACL) agreed to change its current capital structure. The current capital structure of ACL is based on the view that no debt or a low level of debt is better than a high level of debt. Due to a change in the global business environment, ACL board members now believe that a high level of debt is necessary for the future growth of the company. ACL currently has a $200,000 long-term bank loan paying 9% interest. It also has 80,000 ordinary shares on issue under the current structure. The proposed capital structure will double the amount of the current bank loan to $400,000, but ACL will need to pay 12% interest. With this change, the number of ordinary shares on issue would reduce to 40,000 shares. ACL operates in the construction industry and the proposed capital structure is based on the industry average. ACL pays 28% tax on its income. Required: A. Assuming ACL expects EBIT of $120,000, what are the EPS for the current and proposed capital structures? Explain whether or not the board has made the right decision and justify your answer. [4 marks] B. Calculate the EBIT/EPS indifference point for EBIT. [3 marks] C. If ACL wishes to attain the highest EPS, over which range of EBIT is each capital structure preferred? [2 marks] D. Briefly explain the major shortcoming of EBIT/EPS analysis.

Martin Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 142,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $995,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. You estimate that, in five years, this equipment can be salvaged for $136,000. Your fixed production costs will be $570,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $19.05 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $124,000. Assume your tax rate is 22 percent and you require a return of 11 percent on your investment. a. Assuming that the price per carton is $29.40, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Assuming that the price per carton is $29.40, find the quantity of cartons per year you can supply and still break even. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) c. Assuming that the price per carton is $29.40, find the highest level of fixed costs you could afford each year and still break even.

Management of AG Travel and Tour has identified two groups of individuals that
would be interested in the vacation package consisting of room and board and/or
entertainment. The maximum amount that group 1 is willing to pay for room and
board is GHC 2500 and for entertainment is GHC 500. For group 2, the maximum
amount they are willing to pay for room and board is GHC 1800 and for
entertainment is GHC 750. Although AG Travel and Tour is not able to identify
members of either group, it does know that each group values the components of
the package differently. Assuming there are an equal number of members in each
group and that the total membership in each group is a single individual. If the
marginal cost of providing the service (room and board and/or entertainment) to
each group is GHC 1000.
i. How much will the hotel charge members of each group for the vacation
package if it could identify the members in each group?
ii. How much will the profit for AG Travel and Tour be?
iii. Since AG Travel and Tour is not able to identify members of each group,
what price should it charge for each product?
iv. What will be the profit for AG Travel and Tour in the case of (iii) above?

v. If AG Travel and Tour wants to charge a package price, what is the highest
price it can charge?
vi. What profit will AG Travel and Tour make if it charges the package price
found in (v) above?
