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:
| Price | $720 | per unit |
| Cost of goods sold | 430 | |
| Gross profit | $290 | per unit |
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 | Budgeted Activity Cost | Activity Base | |||
| Customer service | $35,760 | Number of service requests | |||
| Sales order processing | 22,680 | Number of sales orders | |||
| Advertising support | 221,000 | Number of ads placed | |||
| Total activity cost | $279,440 | ||||
Activity-base usage and unit volume information for the three customers is as follows:
| The Warehouse | Kosmo Co. | Supply Universe | Total | ||||||
| Number of service requests | 50 | 10 | 180 | 240 | |||||
| Number of sales orders | 240 | 100 | 500 | 840 | |||||
| Number of ads placed | 20 | 20 | 130 | 170 | |||||
| Unit volume | 640 | 640 | 640 | 1,920 | |||||
Required:
1. Determine the activity rates for each of the three nonmanufacturing activities. Round to the nearest whole dollar.
| Activity Rate | ||
| Customer Service | $ | per serv. req. |
| Sales Order Processing | $ | per bid |
| Advertising Support | $ | per customer design change |
2. Determine the activity costs allocated to the three customers, using the activity rates in (1).
| Activity Costs | |
| The Warehouse | $ |
| Kosmo Co. | $ |
| Supply Universe | $ |
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.

As discussed in the previous question, the second stage of the propulsion system is used to boost the spacecraft from Martian orbit into an interplanetary trajectory and return to Earth.
Knowing that the thrust generated by the second stage is 2620 N and the rocket exhaust velocity is 430 m/s; calculate the minimum amount of propellant needed to have a chance of returning to Earth. Assume that the thruster must be turned on for 2 minutes in order to reach the proper velocity.
Give your answer in kg.

Design a class named Employee. The class should keep the following information in fields: • Employee name • Employee number in the format XXX–L, where each X is a digit within the range 0–9, and the L is a letter within the range A–M. • Hire date Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Next, write a class named ProductionWorker that inherits from the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should have fields to hold the following information: Shift (an integer) Hourly pay rate (a double) The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The shift field will be an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1, and the night shift is shift 2. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Demonstrate the classes by writing a program that uses a ProductionWorker object. In a particular factory, a shift supervisor is a salaried employee who supervises a shift. In addition to a salary, the shift supervisor earns a yearly bonus when his or her shift meets production goals. Design a ShiftSupervisor class that inherits from the Employee class. The ShiftSupervisor class should have a field that holds the annual salary, and a field that holds the annual production bonus that a shift supervisor has earned. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. In a particular factory, a team leader is an hourly paid production worker who leads a small team. In addition to hourly pay, team leaders earn a fixed monthly bonus. Team leaders are required to attend a minimum number of hours of training per year. Design a TeamLeader class that inherits from the ProductionWorker class. The TeamLeader class should have fields for the monthly bonus amount, the required number of training hours, and the number of training hours that the team leader has attended. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Demonstrate the classes by writing a program that uses a TeamLeader object and a ShiftSupervisor object, as well as an Employee object. Be sure that all methods defined are called.

Case Scenario: A teenage baseball player gets hit in the head with a fast- hard ball. Paramedics rush him to the hospital. Upon arrival to the ED, you find he is disoriented, he has sporadic respiratory changes, and his pupils are dilated but respond to light. He can tell you his name but not what has happened. During the exam, he vacillates between being somnolent and hyper aroused. The doctor tells parents of the boy that their child has a focal brain injury. He has no prior health conditions.

2- a. What is the price of a European put option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is $69, the strike price is $70, the risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, the historical volatility is 35% per annum, and the time to maturity is six months?
b. WITHOUT using the B-S-M formula, please calculate the call option price on the same stock with $70 strike price and a time to maturity of 6 months? Explain how and show the process. (Simply showing a number without explanation and process is not a valid answer.)
c. For the same put option, if the actual market trading price is $5, what is the implied volatility?

Problem 14.71 IP Standing Waves in the Human Ear The human ear canal is much like an organ pipe that is closed at one end (at the tympanic membrane or eardrum) and open at the other (Figure 1) . A typical ear canal has a length of about 2.4 cm.
Part A What are the fundamental frequency and wavelength of the ear canal? Express your answer using two significant figures. f1 =_______ Hz
Part B Express your answer using two significant figures. λ1 = _____cm
Part C Find the frequency and wavelength of the ear canal's third harmonic. (Recall that the third harmonic in this case is the standing wave with the second-lowest frequency.) Express your answer using two significant figures. f3 =_______ Hz
Part D Express your answer using two significant figures. λ3 =_____ cm
Part E Suppose a person has an ear canal that is shorter than 2.4 cm. Is the fundamental frequency of that person's ear canal greater than, less than, or the same as the value found in part A? Explain.
