In a sawmill, boards and pellets are produced (of the remains that do not become boards). The joint costs of the sawmill before the split point in production (for drying, storage and handling) amount to $ 400,000 per year. In total, 2000 tonnes of boards and 900 tonnes of pellets are produced during the year. The selling price per ton of sawn timber is $ 7000 and $ 1200 per ton of pellets.

a)Distribute the common costs according to the division method.
b)Distribute the common costs according to the sales value.

a) Discuss two basic forms of compression. Given the following data string, present the result using run-length encoding. By what percentage is the data compressed? 0000011000000001000000000100001100000000 [5 Marks]

b) Sam wants to send 2000 8-bit characters of data. Find the total number of bits he will transmit using asynchronous transmission. Now, if he decides to use the synchronous connection, how many bits will be transferred if 1000 characters fit within one synchronous transmission frame?

Lev, Beaver, Revsine and Watts each discuss the nature of the capital market and stakeholders relevant to the firm in conjunction with different approaches to financial reporting disclosures.   Based on their discussion, the knowledge that earnings management occurs (Dechow and Skinner, 2000 and Nelson et al, 2003) and other readings you have done, what are the benefits and drawbacks to have more or less rigid financial reporting rules? In which direction should standard setters move (more or less rigid) over the next several years?

1. In the pine tree forest, the probability that a randomly chosen tree is a high producer, that is, it has more than 60 cones, is 0.46.

1. If a forester selects trees until he finds one that is a high producer, what is the probability that he selects more than 2 trees?
2. Suppose the forest contains 2000 trees, use a normal approximation to find the probability that fewer than 950 of them are high producers.
3. Use software ( a calculator) to find the probability in b exactly. Compare your results.

A two-year project has been evaluated and has an NPV on an after tax basis of -$2000. On reviewing the analysis the Finance Manager found that depreciation had been omitted from the tax analysis. The allowable depreciation for tax purposes is $5000 for each year. Using a tax rate of 30% and and a discount rate after tax of 12% pa, determine the correct NPV for the project (to the nearest dollar).

Can someone help me to solve this and explain the method to me?

Thanks!

let r1 and r2 be the relations represented as r1 (ABC) and r2 (ADE) .Assume the corresponding domains of both the tables are same.r1 has 2000 tuples and r2 has 4500 tuples
1.common tuples between r1 and r2 are 500, what would be the resultant number of tuples for r1-r2, justify your answer
2.assuming 500 as the common tuples between r1 and r2,what is the maximum number of tuples that results in ]] A( r1) U ]] A r2. justify your answer.

The table shows the relationship between the production and the export of rice in vietnam from 1985 to 2000.

How much rice would you expect Vietnam to export in 2015 if the production that year is 4225000 tonnes?
