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 $ 1,697,400
Cost of goods sold 1,248,612
Gross margin 448,788
Selling and administrative expenses 560,000
Net operating loss $ (111,212 )

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,300 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,600 units of T500 at a price of $39 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 $ 400,600 $ 162,600 $ 563,200
Direct labor $ 121,000 $ 43,000 164,000
Manufacturing overhead 521,412
Cost of goods sold $ 1,248,612

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 $101,000 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) $ 212,392 90,700 62,100 152,800
Setups (setup hours) 147,420 71 280 351
Product-sustaining (number of products) 101,000 1 1 2
Other (organization-sustaining costs) 60,600 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 521,412

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.

2. Create a class called Invoice that a store might use to represent an invoice for an item sold at the store. An Invoice should include four data members—the ID for the item sold (type string), name of item (type string), item description (type string) and the price of the item (type int). Your class should have a constructor that initializes the four data members. A constructor that receives multiple arguments. Example: ClassName( TypeName1 parameterName1, TypeName2 parameterName2, ... ) Provide a set and a get function for each data member. SearchbyNameAndAdd(): Ask the user which item he/she wants to purchase, if the item is found in the list then store the price of the item in a temporary array or variable. This function will keep adding the amount of items being selected by the user. Once the user has selected all the item he/she needs exit from this function and display the total amount by using the function below: o A function named getTotalAmount () that displays the total amount/bill as an int value.

I am working on exercise 5.48 from Introduction to Computing using python (Author: Perkovic).

Problem Question: Let list1 and list2 be two lists of integers. We say that list1 is a sublist of list2 if the elements in list1 appear in list 2 in the same order as they appear in list1, but not necessarily consecutively. For ex, if list1 is defined as [15,1,100] and list2 is defined as [20,15,30,50,1,100]. Then list 1 is a sublist of list 2 because the numbers in list1 (15,1, and 100) appear in the same order. However, list [15,20,20] is not a sublist of list2. Implement function sublist() that takes as input lists list1 and list2 and returns True if list1 is a sublist of list2 and False otherwise.

I've gotten so far with the below code, but the code is not returning anything when I run it. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here. Any hints of next steps would be great!


def sublist(lst1, lst2):
i = 0

for n in lst1:
while i < len(lst2):
if lst2[i] == n:
i+=1
return True
  
return False

  
print(sublist([15,1,100],[20,15,30,50,1,100]))
print(sublist([15,50,20],[20,15,30,50,1,100]))

Exception handling to detect input string vs. int

The given program reads a list of single-word first names and ages (ending with -1), and outputs that list with the age incremented. The program fails and throws an exception if the second input on a line is a string rather than an int. At FIXME in the code, add a try/catch statement to catch ios_base::failure, and output 0 for the age.

Ex: If the input is:

Lee 18 
Lua 21 
Mary Beth 19 
Stu 33 -1

then the output is:

Lee 19
Lua 22
Mary 0
Stu 34

---------------------------------------------------------

#include
#include

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
string inputName;
int age;
// Set exception mask for cin stream
cin.exceptions(ios::failbit);

cin >> inputName;
while(inputName != "-1") {
// FIXME: The following line will throw an ios_base::failure.
// Insert a try/catch statement to catch the exception.
// Clear cin's failbit to put cin in a useable state.
cin >> age;
cout << inputName << " " << (age + 1) << endl;

cin >> inputName;
}

return 0;

FRX set clear conditions to which a steering committee used methods to ensure an answer to the very important question “why this project important?”, and, furthermore, it ensured that we are able to quantify and follow up on the results of their operations in a meaningful way. The model to answer the question itself was not the goal– it is the completion of project that set the standard but also using a simple method to give the project manager and the project organization space to “deliver the goods” in the project and at the same time focus on the realization of process improvement effects which gave credibility to the work, as the conditions and clarifications as for the calculations are qualified to meet the designated budget of $550,000. At the project implementation, the key task for the analysts was to reduce complexity and define roles in the project. With the strong involvement of stakeholders, experts, and the CEO all involved themselves as parts of an organization need to see the value of the planned change.

1. Give three examples of your preferred method implementation tools.

2. Give three examples of how you would quantify the project schedule and plan.

3. Provide an example In your opinion on how would you manage the debt of the company versus the tools to your disposal in the company value of the stock price that is the overhaul capital of the company.
