Design an Essay class that is derived from the GradedActivity class: class GradedActivity{ private: double score; public: GradedActivity() {score = 0.0;} GradedActivity(double s) {score = s;} void setScore(double s) {score = s;} double getScore() const {return score;} char getLetterGrade() const; }; char GradedActivity::getLetterGrade() const{ char letterGrade; if (score > 89) { letterGrade = 'A'; } else if (score > 79) { letterGrade = 'B'; } else if (score > 69) { letterGrade = 'C'; } else if (score > 59) { letterGrade = 'D'; } else { letterGrade = 'F'; } return letterGrade; } The Essay class should determine the grade a student receives on an essay. The student's essay score can be up to 100, and is made up of four parts: Grammar: up to 30 points Spelling: up to 20 points Correct length: up to 20 points Content: up to 30 points The Essay class should have a double member variable for each of these sections, as well as a mutator that sets the values of these variables. It should add all of these values to get the student's total score on an Essay. Demonstrate your class in a program that prompts the user to input points received for grammar, spelling, length, and content, and then prints the numeric and letter grade received by the student.

1. Single Plantwide Rate and Activity-Based Costing

   Whirlpool Corporation conducted an activity-based costing study of its Evansville, Indiana, plant in order to identify its most profitable products. Assume that we select three representative refrigerators (out of 333): one low-, one medium-, and one high-volume refrigerator. Additionally, we assume the following activity-base information for each of the three refrigerators:

   Three Representative Refrigerators	Number of Machine Hours		Number of Setups		Number of Sales Orders		Number of Units
   Refrigerator—Low Volume	120		21		63		600
   Refrigerator—Medium Volume	310		20		140		1,550
   Refrigerator—High Volume	960		14		210		4,800

   Prior to conducting the study, the factory overhead allocation was based on a single machine hour rate. The machine hour rate was $600 per hour. After conducting the activity-based costing study, assume that three activities were used to allocate the factory overhead. The new activity rate information is assumed to be as follows:

   	Machining Activity		Setup Activity		Sales Order Processing Activity
   Activity rate	$580		$900		$200

   a. Complete the following table, using the single machine hour rate to determine the per-unit factory overhead for each refrigerator (Column A) and the three activity-based rates to determine the activity-based factory overhead per unit (Column B). Finally, compute the percent change in per-unit allocation from the single to activity-based rate methods (Column C).

   If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent. Round percents to one decimal place. For column C, use the minus sign to indicate a negative or decrease.

   	Column A	Column B	Column C
   Product Volume Class	Single Rate Overhead Allocation Per Unit	ABC Overhead Allocation Per Unit	Percent Change in Allocation
   Low	$	$	%
   Medium	$	$	%
   High	$	$	%

   
   b. Why is the traditional overhead rate per machine hour greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method?

   The machine hour rate is greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method because 100% of the factory overhead is is allocated by machine hours under the single rate method. However, only a portion of the factory overhead is allocated under the machine rate method using activity-based costing. The remaining factory overhead is allocated using the . Thus, the numerator for for determining the machine hour rate under activity-based costing must be less than the numerator under the single machine hour rate method.

   c. Interpret Column C in your table from part (A).

   Column C indicates that under activity-based costing the low-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. In contrast, under activity-based costing the high-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. This result will occur when there are activities that occur in proportions different from their volumes. In this case, volume products have setups and sales orders occurring in higher proportions of total setups and sales orders than their proportion of machine hours to total machine hours. The opposite is the case for the volume product. Thus, the lower-volume products are produced and ordered in batch sizes compared to the higher-volume product. This implies that Whirlpool may wish to simplify its product line by eliminating some of the volume products or by attempting to reduce the overall cost of setup and sales order processing activities.

Data Structures Homework – Singly Linked Lists

Create a singly linked that represents a school. The school has multiple classes. Each class has a different number of students.

class student

{

Long ID;

string Name;

string Address;

float grades[3];

student *below;

};

class Node // the node represents a class in school

{

int ID;

int NoOfStudents;

int NoOfQuizes;

student *t;// a linked list of students is allocated dynamically

Node *Next;

};

class school {

string Name;

Node *Head;

int n;//number of classes in school

};

First, you need to implement the following constructors and destructors:

1- School constructor: Creates an empty school. It takes the school name as a parameter and sets the number of classes to zero.

2- Class (Node) constructor: Sets the class ID, sets the number of students to zero, the NoOfQuizes to zero and the pointers to NULL.

3- Student constructor: Sets the student’s ID, Name and address which are passed as parameters once a student is created.

4- Student destructor: contains the cout statement: ”student destructor is called”

5- Class (Node) destructor: deletes all students in class.

6- School destructor: deletes all the classes in the school.

In your main function create an empty school by entering the name of the school from keyboard (this calls the school constructor), then display the following menu to the user and perform tasks accordingly.

In addition to constructors and destructors, you need to define a function to perform each of the following tasks.

Your program must keep on displaying this list until the user chooses Exit (12).

1. Create a class: This function creates a new class in the school by reading the class information from a text file that has the following format. The class is added to the end of the school linked list. Note that this will call the Node constructor (once)+ the student constructor (multiple times).

Class ID

NoOfStudents

Student ID Student Name Student Address

Student ID Student Name Student Address

Student ID Student Name Student Address

……..

2. Read quiz grades: This function takes the class ID and the number of the quiz (first:0, second:1, Final:2) from keyboard and reads the grades for all students in the class in a certain quiz. Sort the students alphabetically then read their grades (this calls the function sort students (8)).

3. Compute student’s average: Take a student’s ID and return his average

4. Add student: Enter class ID, read a student’s information (ID & name & address from keyboard), add a student to the beginning of the class list. Note that this calls the student’s constructor. Also, read (NoOfQuizes) grades for this student.

5. Delete student: Enter student’s ID, search for the student in the school and delete the student from his class (if found).

6. Delete class: Enter class ID, find the class, delete the list of students in the class (this uses class destructor) then delete the class node from the list (the rest of the school list should remain intact).

7. Sort students: Enter class ID and sort the students of that class based on their names in alphabetical order.

8. Find the student with maximum average in a certain class: Enter class ID, find student with maximum average, then display the student (name + ID).

9. Display student given his name: enter student’s name, find the student and display his ID, grades and average.

10. Display a class given its ID: enter a class ID, find the class and neatly display the information of all the students in that class.

11. Display school: Display all classes in a school. Display each class ID together with its students (ID, name and address of each student).

12. Exit .

In your main function, create a school and test all your work above.

A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 4.6%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are:   

The correlation between the fund returns is .0800.

Suppose now that your portfolio must yield an expected return of 14% and be efficient, that is, on the best feasible CAL.

a. What is the standard deviation of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

b-1. What is the proportion invested in the T-bill fund? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

b-2. What is the proportion invested in each of the two risky funds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Create a C++ project called RobberyLanguage. Ask the user to enter a word. Write a function that will receive the word, use the word to compile a new word in Robbery language and return the new Robbery language word. In the function: Use a while loop and a newline character (‘\0’) to step through the characters in the original string. How to compile a word in Robbery language: Double each consonant and put the letter ‘o’ between the two consonants. For example:" ENTER THE WORD: Welcome

original word is welcome , Robbery language: wowelolcocomome

process returned 0 (0*0) execution time :

press any key to continue "

Example of the definition of the function: string compileRobLanWord(char word[50]) Hints: Declare a new character string for the Robbery language word. A word in Robbery language has more characters than the original word. Therefor the new string must have its own index value. How it looks like in memory: Original word: S a m \0 2 0 1 2 3 Robbery language: S o S a m o m \0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Note: Remember to add the \0 character as the last character of the new word. In the main function: Example of the call statement in the main function: newWord = compileRobLanWord(word); Display the original word and the Robbery language word.
