1. The following data resulted from a study taken on a horizontal milling machine:

Pieces produced per cycle: 8.

Average measured cycle time: 8.36 minutes.

Average measured effort time per cycle: 4.62 minutes

. Average rapid traverse time: 0.08 minutes.

Average cutting time power feed: 3.66 minutes.

Performance rating: 115 percent.

Allowance (machine time): 10 percent

. Allowance (manual time): 15 percent.

The operator works on the job a full eight-hour day and produces 380 pieces. How many standard hours does the operator earn? What is her efficiency for the eight-hour day?

2. An analyst has estimated that there will be an 84% learning curve for an assembly operation. The first assembly takes 48 minutes and the standard time is set at 6 minutes.

a. How long will it take the operator to reach the standard time?

b. Unfortunately, the operator falls ill after the first week on the new assembly operation and returns after one week. What will be the estimated time for the operator to reach standard time now?

Briefly explain four different types of Use-Cases in terms of the purpose and the amount of information

Perfect Lawns and Gardens is a small lawn equipment manufacturer. The company is analyzing a proposed project. It expects to sell 3,000 push lawn mowers, give or take 15 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $95 and the expected fixed costs are $125,000 per year. Both cost estimates are considered accurate within a plus or minus 5 percent range. The sale price is estimated at $180 a unit, give or take 2 percent. The project requires $240,000 of fixed assets, which will be worthless when the project ends in four years. The assets will be depreciated according to the 5-year MACRS depreciation schedule. Also required is $65,000 of net working capital investment to start the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required rate of return is 12 percent. What is the net present value of the worst-case scenario? What is the IRR of the worst-case scenario?

I have solved the question two different ways and I keep getting thosee answers above and it says they are wrong please help me!

Max Wholesaler borrowed $5,000 on a 12%, 120-day note. After 45 days, Max paid $1,750 on the note. Thirty days later, Max paid an additional $1,500. Use ordinary interest.

a. Determine the total interest using the U.S. Rule. (Round your intermediate balances and interest amounts to the nearest cent. Round your final answer to the nearest cent.)

Total interest amount            $

b. Determine the ending balance due using the U.S. Rule. (Round your intermediate balances and interest amounts to the nearest cent. Round your final answer to the nearest cent.)

A U.S. Treasury bond will pay a lump sum of $1,000 exactly 3 years from today. The nominal interest rate is 6%, semiannual compounding. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

By the INITIAL POST date in the course Calendar you should write a post that answers these questions, using information from the textbook and other reputable sources.

By the FINAL POST date in the course Calendar you must reply to AT LEAST two other posts on the board, using the "yes and..." format. This means that in each of your responses to others, be sure to include some additional thoughts, comments, or information that further the discussion.

IN ALL posts (both your initial posts and your final posts) be sure to support your points with information from the textbook and other reputable sources. Include links or citations for where you found the information -- that way we can look at it ourselves if we'd like to.

DISCUSSION INSTRUCTIONS

Neuroscience for Kids is a wonderful website with a large amount of information on the brain and related topics...all written at a very understandable level. Below are the "Table of Contents" links from the website. For this discussion, select *THREE* links (each should come from a different section on this table of contents list....so you could pick one from "Brain Basics", one from "Drug Effects", and one from "Sensory Systems") from each of the following sections, and write a brief review of how these pages help to explain or expand on information from the Biopsychology chapter.   At the end of this discussion, we should have some additional study tools for that first test! :)

. [9 marks] Assume that Alice has chosen a large RSA modulus n such that factorization is impossible with reasonable time and resources. She also then chooses a large random public exponent e < n for which the RSA problem is also not practical. However Bob decides to send a message to Alice by encrypting each alphabet character (represented by an integer between 0 and 25) separately using Alice’s public key < n, e >.

(a) Describe an efficient attack against this method.

(b) Suggest a countermeasure to this attack.

In a bief and concise maner outline and describe the main components of long term memory, to include declarative, episosodic,and semantic memory on the one hand and the two categories of nondeclarative memory on the other hand. Provide simple examples of each component.

The following were selected from among the transactions completed by Babcock Company during November of the current year:

Required:

Journalize the transactions.

Journalize these transactions from the buyer's point of view. Using the perpetual inventory system, purchases of inventory on account are recorded by increasing both the merchandise inventory account and the accounts payable account. Recall that FOB shipping point freight is the buyer's cost, while FOB destination freight is the seller's expense. Often freight must be prepaid for the carrier to deliver.

Nov. 3: Calculate any trade discount before the purchase or sale amount is recorded.

Nov. 5: Using the perpetual inventory system, purchases of inventory on account are recorded by debiting the merchandise inventory account and crediting the accounts payable account. Freight expense added to the invoice increases the cost of the merchandise.

Nov. 6: A return of merchandise that had a trade discount is recorded without the trade discount. Using the perpetual inventory system, any discounts or returns are recorded directly by the buyer who debits Accounts Payable and credits Merchandise Inventory, basically reversing what was done in recording the purchase.

Nov. 13 and 15: Returns are not eligible for discounts. Since the invoice is paid within the discount period, the cash paid on account is the difference between the invoice and the discount.

Journalize these transactions from the seller's point of view. Keep in mind that the sales discounts are given on the outstanding balance of the sale transaction, except for any freight costs.

Nov. 4: Two entries are required for (1) the cash sale and (2) the cost of the merchandise sold and inventory decrease on the seller's records.

Nov. 14: Remember that credit card transactions are recorded as cash sales. Two entries are required: (1) the sale for cash and (2) the cost of the merchandise sold and inventory decrease on the seller's records.

Nov. 23: Since no discount is allowed, no discount is recorded. The cash paid is equal to the receivable on the seller's books.

Nov. 24: Two entries are required for: (1) the sale on account and (2) the cost of the merchandise sold and inventory decrease on the seller's records.

Nov. 28: Record the service fee as an expense.

Nov. 30: Customer Refunds Payable is debited while the credit is to Cash. A second entry increases Merchandise Inventory and credits Estimated Returns Inventory for the return cost.

a. Use the U.S. Rule to solve for total interest cost. (Use 360 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Total interest cost            $   

b. Use the U.S. Rule to solve for balances. (Use 360 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

c. Use the U.S. Rule to solve for final payment. (Use 360 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
