Describe three ways in which lower socioeconomic status can lead to worse health outcomes.

Hickory Company manufactures two products—13,000 units of Product Y and 5,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:

1. What is the company’s plantwide overhead rate

2. Using the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to Product Y and Product Z?

3. What is the activity rate for the Machining activity cost pool?

4. What is the activity rate for the Machine Setups activity cost pool?

5. What is the activity rate for the Product Design activity cost pool?

6. What is the activity rate for the General Factory activity cost pool? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

9. Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

10.

Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product Z? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

11.

Using the plantwide overhead rate, what percentage of the total overhead cost is allocated to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places. (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

12. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the Machining costs is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places. (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

13. Using the ABC system, what percentage of Machine Setups cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places. (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

14. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the Product Design cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places. (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34)).

15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost is assigned to Product Y and Product Z? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your "Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places. (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

Special-Order Decision

Smooth Move Company manufactures professional paperweights and has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 15,000 units at a per-unit price of $9.00. The new customer is geographically separated from Smooth Move's other customers, and existing sales will not be affected. Smooth Move normally produces 95,000 units but plans to produce and sell only 65,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $15 per unit. Unit cost information is as follows:

If Smooth Move accepts the order, no fixed manufacturing activities will be affected because there is sufficient excess capacity.

Required:

1. What are the alternatives for Smooth Move?
Accept or reject the special order

2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Should Smooth Move accept the special order?
Yes

By how much will profit increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Increase  $

3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Briefly explain the significance of the statement in the exercise that “existing sales will not be affected” (by the special sale).

It indicates that there will be no product-line cannibalization; in other words, there is sufficient excess capacity such that the acceptance of the special sales will not decrease Smooth Move’s regular sales.

32. Refer to Figure 5-1. What is the amount of overhead applied for January?

33. Refer to Figure 5-1. If the actual overhead for January is $41,000, what is the overhead variance and is it overapplied or underapplied?

Mr. Kent doesn't care about almost anything ... but himself and his money. So, when his power plant leaked radioactive goo that caused several species of wildlife to go extinct, he was only concerned with the public perception as it might affect his income and possible jail time.

Many rumors surfaced around the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. One of them is high concern over the mutation rate of the rare Springfield molted platypus. With barely more than 500 left in the wild, the word "extinction" has been tossed around. So, to quell the media, Mr. Kent had 30 of them captured, dissected, and analyzed to check for signs of mutation. He found that the mutation rate is 2% each month, but when they do mutate, they become sterile and cannot reproduce. With this information, he wants to create one of those newfangled computer simulations that the press loves so much. That's where you come in!

Specifications:

In this assignment, you will create a class called Animal_Category.

Your Animal_Category class is to contain the following data members:

• A string for appearance ( hair/fur/scale/feathers)
• a bool for nurse (true/false)
• a bool for cold_blooded (true/false)
• a bool for live_on_land (true/false)
• a bool for live_in_water (true/false)

Your Animal_Category class is to contain the following member functions:

• a constructor with arguments
• a print function

You will also create a class called Platypus. Below, we will describe what will define a platypus. You will also create a main function in which you will create objects of type platypus to test the functionality of your new user-defined type.

Your Platypus class is to contain the following data members:

• a static int for platypus_count (to increment upon creation of a new platypus and decrement upon destruction of a platypus)
• a float for weight
• an int for age (months)
• a string for name
• a char for gender
• a bool to indicate whether alive (or not)
• a bool to indicate whether mutant (or not)
• an Animal_Category for animal_type
• a constant mutation rate that is 2%

Member functions:

• a constructor with no arguments that creates a dead platypus
• a constructor that you can pass values to so as to establish its gender, weight, age, and name; it will default to alive and not mutant.
• a constant print function that will output to the screen the attributes of that platypus in a nice, easy to read format.
• an age_me function that returns nothing but increments the object's age. It will also calculate the chance that the object will become a mutant and when needed changes the value of the corresponding data member (remember that the mutation rate is 2% each month and it should become 100% for the platypus to become mutant).

Further, the platypus has a chance of becoming dead each time it ages. This chance is ten times the platypus' weight. A 5 pound platypus has a 50% chance of death. A 10 pound platypus (or heavier) has a 100% chance of death. Again here update the value of the corresponding data member when needed.

• a fight function that accepts another platypus object as a parameter. It will have the calling platypus attack the other (passed in) platypus. The survivor is based on a "fight ratio": it is calculated as (calling_platypus_weight/other_platypus_weight) * 50. A random value from 1 to 100 is generated. If it is less than the fight ratio, the calling platypus survives; otherwise the other platypus survives. You must to be able to have a statement like p1.fight(p2).print() (where p1 and p2 are objects of this class)
• an eat function that increases the weight of the platypus by a random amount from 0.1% to 5.0% of the platypus' current weight.
• A friend hatch function that will randomly set up a newborn platypus with alive=true, mutant=false, and age=0. Gender will randomly be 'm' or 'f' with equal probability. Weight will randomly be between 0.1 and 1.0 pounds. Name will default to “plipo”.

Think very carefully about writing the above functions and how they should be used. There are indeed circumstances when some functions should not execute. For example, a dead platypus shouldn't eat anything.

Your program should fully test your platypus class. It must call every member function in the platypus class. It must print to the screen what it is doing and show the changes that appear when the member functions are called. The fight function will require two platypuses: one to call the fight function and one to be a parameter in the fight function.

The Baldwin Company is considering investing in a machine that produces bowling balls. The cost of the machine is $100,000 and production is expected to be 8,000 units per year during the five-year life of the machine. The expected resale value is $5,000 (in real terms).
Since the interest in bowling is declining, the management believes that the nominal price of bowling balls will increase at only 2% per year. The nominal price of bowling balls in the first year will be $20. On the other hand, plastic used to produce bowling balls is rapidly becoming more expensive. Because of this, production costs are expected to grow at 10% (nominally) per year. First-year nominal production costs will be $10 per unit.
The company's nominal cost of capital is 15%. The rate of inflation is 5%. Ignore taxes. Should the project be undertaken?

Please give me a answer with equations and step by step solutions so that I can understand.
