Tree Traversals It should be noted that, in class, all traversal methods were written as recursive algorithm (i.e. at some point, the method called itself). It is possible to implement non-recursive versions of preorder, inorder, and postorder traversal methods mentioned in class. One intuitive way is by using a stack.
1) Give written pseudocode/explanation of :
a) How to build the tree such that a given non-recursive traversal method can be used.
b) Your algorithm for a non-recursive preorder, inorder, OR postorder traversal method (You only have to pick one)
2) Implement the above mentioned algorithms. Traversals should print out nodes in their required order.

what is meant by the term data consolidation

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 produced and sold 60,400 units of B300 at a price of $19 per unit and 12,600 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:

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $57,000 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:

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.

Golf and Chi-Square Tests

Discussion

Introduction

This discussion provides a simulated exercise using two of the most popular Chi-Square statistical tests. You are strongly encouraged to complete the textbook reading and start the MyStatLab Homework assignment before beginning this discussion. You need to be familiar with the Chi-Square distribution, its interpretation, and how results are typically calculated and reported together.

In this discussion, you are required to calculate and interpret your findings.

Review the information in each section and participate in the discussion.

Golf Rounds Scenario

As the Director of Golf for the Links Group, you are trying to determine if there is a significant difference in the number of rounds of golf played based on the day of the week. So far, you've gathered the following sample information for 520 rounds.

Now, you need to use the sample to answer these questions. For each question, the null hypothesis is that the cell categories are equal, and the significance level is .05.

• Is there a significant difference in the rounds of golf played during the week? Why is your choice appropriate?
• What is the critical value and number of degrees of freedom for the Chi-Square statistic?
• What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? Why is your decision appropriate?

Golf Ball Quality Scenario

In addition to determining if there is a significant difference in the number of rounds of golf played based on the day of the week, you also have to determine which brand of "range balls" to buy for use at the driving range. You are looking for the most durable ball that will hold up for an extended period. You obtained samples of 100 golf balls from four different manufacturers, and your teaching professionals tested them for durability. The table shows the numbers of unacceptable and acceptable golf balls by manufacturer.

At the .05 significance level, is there a difference in the durability of the range balls? Why is your decision appropriate?

Additional Instructions

Use Excel or Statdisk to answer the questions posed in both scenarios. Remember, the focus of this discussion is understanding and interpreting two different Chi-Square tests.

To get around the problem presented in question 2, the internal standard technique is used. An internal standard is a volatile compound that does not interfere with the GC analysis.

• 10.0 mg of internal standard compound (Std) added to 50.0 mg of the mixture of A, B, and C (problem 2) to give a mixture with a total mass of 60.0 mg.

• The sample is analyzed by GC.

• Relative Peak Areas: Std (1.00), A (0.75), B (3.00). Remember C does not elute.

• Based off of the 10.0 mg of internal standard added to the sample, what are the weight percentages of A and B in the original sample?

a): Suppose we have developed the following rules and facts for our system.
Rule 1: If X is an animal then X is living spices
Rule 2: If X is living spices then X is a life form
Rule 3: If X is a life form then X is mortal
Fact: Dog is an animal.
Goal: Is Dog a mortal?

Problem: Using forward chaining, try to conclude that Dog is mortal.

b)The following is the rule set of a simple weather forecast expert system:

Rule 1. IF cyclone THEN clouds
Rule 2. IF anticyclone THEN clear sky
Rule 3. IF pressure is low THEN cyclone
Rule 4. IF pressure is high THEN anticyclone
Rule 5. IF arrow is down THEN pressure is low
Rule 6. IF arrow is up THEN pressure is high

Problem: Use backward chaining to reason about the weather if the working
memory contains the fact: clouds. Show your answer in a table naming the
rules matching the current working memory (conflict set), which rule you
apply, and how the working memory contents changes on the next step after a
rule has fired:

Allocating Selling and Administrative Expenses using Activity-Based Costing

Shrute Inc. manufactures office copiers, which are sold to retailers. The price and cost of goods sold for each copier are as follows:

In addition, the company incurs selling and administrative expenses of $279,440. The company wishes to assign these costs to its three major retail customers, The Warehouse, Kosmo Co., and Supply Universe. These expenses are related to its three major nonmanufacturing activities: customer service, sales order processing, and advertising support. The advertising support is in the form of advertisements that are placed by Shrute Inc. to support the retailer's sale of Shrute copiers to consumers. The budgeted activity costs and activity bases associated with these activities are:

Activity-base usage and unit volume information for the three customers is as follows:

Required:

1. Determine the activity rates for each of the three nonmanufacturing activities. Round to the nearest whole dollar.

2. Determine the activity costs allocated to the three customers, using the activity rates in (1).

3. Construct customer profitability reports for the three customers, dated for the year ended December 31, 2016, using the activity costs in (2). The reports should disclose the gross profit and income from operations associated with each customer. Enter all amounts as positive numbers, except for a negative income from operations.
