Cortez Company is planning to introduce a new product that will sell for $107 per unit. The following manufacturing cost estimates have been made on 20,000 units to be produced the first year: Direct materials $ 800,000 Direct labor 640,000 (= $16 per hour × 40,000 hours) Manufacturing overhead costs have not yet been estimated for the new product, but monthly data on total production and overhead costs for the past 24 months have been analyzed using simple linear regression. The following results were derived from the simple regression and provide the basis for overhead cost estimates for the new product. Simple Regression Analysis Results Dependent variable—Factory overhead costs Independent variable—Direct labor-hours Computed values Intercept $ 110,000 Coefficient on independent variable $ 5.00 Coefficient of correlation .916 R2 .839 Required: a. What percentage of the variation in overhead costs is explained by the independent variable? 83.90% 92.30% 100.70% 75.50% None of the above b. What is the total overhead cost for an estimated activity level of 60,000 direct labor-hours? $410,000 $420,000 $400,000 $430,000 None of the above c. How much is the variable manufacturing cost per unit, using the variable overhead estimated by the regression (assuming that direct materials and direct labor are variable costs)? $82.00 $90.00 $98.00 $74.00 None of the above d. What is the expected contribution margin per unit to be earned during the first year on 20,000 units of the new product? (Assume that all marketing and administrative costs are fixed.) $25.00 $28.00 $30.00 $23.00 None of the above e. What is the manufacturing cost equation implied by these results? Total cost = $640,000 + ($5.00 × Number of units) Total cost = $110,000 + ($107.00 × Number of units) Total cost = $110,000 + ($16.00 × Number of units) None of the above Next Visit question mapQuestion 3 of 5 Total3 of 5

if a person has 0 withholding allowances do they still get a withholding subtracted from their paycheck?

I'm working with using recursion to find the sum and the min of these two arrays respectively. So far what I have gives the correct answers when they run, however when I use a test code on them they fail because they cannot handle out of bounds points, for example if int[] sumMe = { } or if the position is set to the last number "89" in the array. I kinda know what I'm supposed to tell it but not how to properly implement it, if you could help be adjust the code to catch these out of bounds instances I'd very much appreciate it.
I'll put the failed messages for each of these under the test code I put down in case it helps.


public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] sumMe = { 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 };
        System.out.printf("Array Sum: %d\n", arraySum(sumMe, 0));


        int[] minMe = { 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, -42, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 };
        System.out.printf("Array Min: %d\n", arrayMin(minMe, 0));
    }
    public static long arraySum(int[] data, int position) {
        if (position <= data.length && position >= 0) {
            if (data.length - 1 == position) {
                return data[position];
            }
            else {
                return data[position] + arraySum(data, position + 1);
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }

    public static int arrayMin(int[] data, int position) {
        int min;
        int i;
        min = data[position];
        for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
            if (min > data[i]) {
                min = data[i];
                arrayMin(data, i++);
            }
        }
        return min;
    }
}

Failed test in arrayMin:

java.lang.AssertionError: ArrayMin must be able to handle position of
Expected :89
Actual :1

Failed test in arraySum:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 0 out of bounds for length 0

If a temperature scale were bassed on the freezing point (5.5 degrees Celsius) and boiling point (80.1 degrees Celsius) of benzene, and the temperature difference between these two points was divided into 50 units called degrees X, what would be the freezing and boiling points of water in degrees X?

In addition to the molecular orbital treatment of H2, the ground state can be treated by the so-called valence bond (Heitler-London) approach, where individual covalent bonds are combined to form an antisymmetric wave function with spins up and down. Look up this approach and compare the results with the simple MO treatment in terms of bond energy (kJ/mol) and bond distance (pm).
