The determined Wile E. Coyote is out once more to try to capture the elusive roadrunner. The coyote wears a new pair of power roller skates, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15 m/s2. The coyote starts off at rest 70 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips by in the direction of the cliff.
(a) If the roadrunner moves with constant speed, find the minimum speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote.
_______ m/s
(b) If the cliff is 100 m above the base of a canyon, find where the coyote lands in the canyon. (Assume that his skates are still in operation when he is in "flight" and that his horizontal component of acceleration remains constant at 15 m/s2.)
__________ m from the base

Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts—the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:
| Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc. Income Statement |
|||
| Sales | $ | 1,768,000 | |
| Cost of goods sold | 1,250,070 | ||
| Gross margin | 517,930 | ||
| Selling and administrative expenses | 560,000 | ||
| Net operating loss | $ | (42,070 | ) |
Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,000 units of B300 at a price of $21 per unit and 12,700 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:
| B300 | T500 | Total | ||||
| Direct materials | $ | 400,200 | $ | 162,300 | $ | 562,500 |
| Direct labor | $ | 120,800 | $ | 42,200 | 163,000 | |
| Manufacturing overhead | 524,570 | |||||
| Cost of goods sold | $ | 1,250,070 | ||||
The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $51,000 and $108,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:
| Manufacturing Overhead |
Activity | |||||
| Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) | B300 | T500 | Total | |||
| Machining (machine-hours) | $ | 207,630 | 90,900 | 62,900 | 153,800 | |
| Setups (setup hours) | 154,440 | 71 | 280 | 351 | ||
| Product-sustaining (number of products) | 102,000 | 1 | 1 | 2 | ||
| Other (organization-sustaining costs) | 60,500 | NA | NA | NA | ||
| Total manufacturing overhead cost | $ | 524,570 | ||||
Required:
1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.
2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system.
3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.

Create a program that has an App Class which holds your main() method and create a Band class.
Create an array of 5 Band objects in your main() method.
Each band should have it's own compete() method along with a a drummer, vocalist, and piano player.
Each band should have the names of the drummer, vocalist, and piano player.
The complete method() assigns a random score between 0 and 20 to to each band.
Create a method to calculate the top 2 winners from highest score to least and write each band's information to a "winners.txt" file.
A grabInfo() method should be called to display a band's information.

Discussion: Patents & Copyrights
Article 8 of the US Consitution empowers Congress, in part, "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."
Some economists consider that patents & copyrights (what is called "intellectual property" or "intangible property") in their current form contribute to stifling innovation and to the unequal distribution of income by taking advantage of monopoly profits. Here is a short discussion of the benefits and costs of patents & copyrights. And here is a discussion of the effects of monopolies on income & wealth (Links to an external site.).
In several paragraphs, discuss whether in your view the patent & copyright system in the United States is perfect as it is, or if it should be modified, and in what way. Please justify your response with evidence from an academic-level outside source.
