  1. In the Microsoft Excel program, fill in data based on the table below. Make sure you start in Cell A1 (meaning “Season” is in Cell A1 and that “Fall” is in A5 and “Total” is in D1) 
    Season Quantity Price Total
    Winter 1,500 $200.00 =B2*C2
    Spring 750 $175.00 =B3*C3

gambler company produces a product by way of three consecutive processes. the following data relates to Process 3 for the month of April.
During April, 30,000 units valued at $29.55 each were transferred from Process 2 to Process 3.
Other costs incurred during the month were:
Direct Materials added $309,000
Direct Labour $458,600
Manufacturing Overhead $391,400

Normal losses are estimated to be 5% of the units transferred in from Process 2. Inspection takes place during the processing operation, at which point bad units are separated from good units and sold as scrap at $40 each.

At inspection, 4,000 units were rejected as scrap. These units had reached the following degree of completion:

Transfer from Process 2 100%
Direct material added 80%
Conversion costs 60%

Work-in-progress at the end of April was 5000 units and had reached the following degree of completion:

Transfer from Process 100%
Materials added 55%
Conversion costs 50%

There were no incomplete units in Process 3 at the beginning of the period.

Materials added and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process.

Required:
a) Complete the template given to determine the equivalent units for direct materials (From Process 2 & Materials added) and conversion costs.

b) Compute:

The total cost of the units completed and transferred out
Cost of the unexpected losses
Cost of ending work in process inventory in Process 3

d) Prepare the Work in Process Inventory-Process 3 T-account, claerly showing the ending balance.

e) State the journal entries to record the assignment of direct materials, and direct labour, the allocation of manufacturing overhead to the process and to record the cost of the units completed and transferred out to Finished Goods.

Naturalistic Observations and Evaluation ( second part kern)

Assignment 2: Naturalistic Observations and Evaluation

Conducting an ethnographic study is a fun way of gathering research about your social environment. You may have done an ethnography before without really being aware of it. In a small way, this assignment recreates what ethnographers do when they visit a new community to conduct research.

Complete the following:
Observation

  • Choose a restaurant, library, mall, dining hall, coffee shop, or similar public location. Plan to spend a minimum of two hours at the location. You will visit this location twice, for a minimum of four hours total. Keep in mind that if you should find one of your peers in the establishment at the same time when you are there, do not interrupt him/her and do not do the assignment at the same time.
  • Document what occurs at this chosen location:
    • Describe the establishment.
    • Analyze the interactions between people.

Next, write a paper documenting and analyzing your observations of the location.

Observation Notes

Your observation notes should specifically include the following:

  • Name and location of the establishment
  • Dates and times you were there
  • Place where you stood/sat and when you did your research
  • Description of the physical characteristics of the inside and outside of the establishment (e.g. brick or concrete structure, paint color, seating arrangements)
  • Number and types of people visiting the establishment while you were there (age, sex, type of clothing, probable occupations, ethnicity, etc.)
  • Document interactions such as:
    • specific nature of the interactions that take place in the establishment among customers, between customers and staff, and among staff
    • types of languages used in the establishment and by whom
    • any strange or unusual behavior

Analysis Summary

Include the following in your analysis:

  • Comparison of similarities and differences of this establishment and other similar establishments you know about
  • Nature of the treatment of customers in the establishment
  • Relationships between customers and workers
  • Any behavior that surprised you or was contrary to your expectations
  • How it felt to do the research
  • Most difficult aspects of the research
  • What you found most interesting about the research

In your analysis, be sure to draw upon your observations to support your conclusions.

Appendix

In the appendix of your paper, include the following:

  • A sketch of the layout of the establishment (You can draw in a computer program, like Paint that comes preloaded on most PCs and insert it into your Word file.)
  • Transcription of your notes

Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc.

By Wednesday, November 6, 2013, deliver your assignment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Java – Reading Data

 

For this assignment, you will use the data files you created in assignment 8 and read the data back into the running application and display the data in the report windows.  You can use a simple text area to display the data or if you are feeling up to the challenge, you can create a table of data.  I will leave this choice up to you.

 

 

Assignment 8 reference – already done in program:

In order to do this,  you will need to write an output method in the back end classes for all of the UI windows you creating that allow the user to enter data. Specifically, the following backend classes will need an output method:

Faculty

Student

BaseClass

Classroom

Select 1 of the output methods – .PrintWriter or XML Formatted Output

 

Make sure that whatever methods you choose, you write out all the data in the class, including any lists, even if there is no data in the lists, they should be part of the output in the event that there is data in a list.

 

Although it’s not necessary to create data objects to store the data, I would like to see data persistence done via the back end classes.

Critical Infrastructures Indiviual Assignment

Critical Infrastructures

In terms of critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR), an asset is a person, structure, facility, information, material, or a process that has value. For example, in the transportation sector, a bridge would be an asset.

network is a group of related components that interact with each other or share information to perform a function. For example, a light rail system that crosses multiple jurisdictions in a large metropolitan area would be considered a network.

system is any combination of facilities, personnel, equipment, procedures, and communications integrated for a specific purpose. For example, the U.S. interstate highways comprise a system within the transportation sector.

sector consists of a logical collection of interconnected assets, systems, or networks that provide a common function to society, the economy, or the government. For example, the transportation sector consists of vast, open, accessible, interconnected systems, which include the aviation, maritime, pipeline, highway, freight rail, and mass-transit systems.

 

  • Address the following in 3–4 pages:
    • For each of the 18 CIKR sectors, identify 12 local examples of critical infrastructure.
      • Briefly describe the examples, and explain how they are operated and utilized.
      • Provide any information that you feel is unique to each sector.
    • In your local community, research the infrastructure, and identify one particular element that may be of particular interest to a terrorist or vulnerable to natural or manmade disaster.
      • Are there any protective measures in place to ensure its safety?
