One of the many cuts is the community college budget, and our own district & college are going to lose millions of dollars no matter what. One of the many ways to increase income is to raise tuition fees (currently they are $26/unit for residents and $234/unit for non-residents & international students. Proposals range from $36/unit to (in the worst case) $66/unit. TOPIC: What are the most important effects of a tuition fee increase?

...Unit 5 Assignment Student Name: Please answer the following questions. Submit as a Microsoft Word® document to the Dropbox when completed. 1. Do the firms in an oligopoly act independently or interdependently? Explain your answer. Firms in an oligopoly act interdependently because the demand for one firms output depends on the actions of its rival firms and this makes the decisions making difficult regarding price and output levels. 2.

...Managerial Accounting EXAMINATION NUMBER: 06168500 Complete the following exam by answering the questions and compiling your answers into a word-processing document. When you’re ready to submit your answers, refer to the instructions at the end of your exam booklet. Be certain to indicate the proper question number before each of your answers. Remember to show your work if an answer requires a mathematical solution. Part A: Answer each of the following questions. Each answer is worth 20 points. 1. The management of Sharrar Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the estimated amount of activity for the year. The company’s controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 45,000 machine- hours. In addition, capacity is 52,000 machine-hours and the actual activity for the year is 47,100 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $1,029,600 per year. For simplicity, it’s assumed that this is the esti- mated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the manufacturing overhead at capacity and the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. Required: A. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is based on the estimated amount of the allocation...

(Refers back to the questions of interest, problem statement, and/or hypothesis b) Why was the analysis done (Refer back to your background) c) What of value was discovered? (Any unexpected results) 5) References 6) Appendix Executive Summary Based on my analysis I was able to determine that the size of the bill has an effect on the number of days the bill is late. I was also able to determine that commercial and residential bills get paid at different times based on the amount of them. We can also say that with the slope of .0166 (residential) means for each increase of one unit in X, the Y is estimated to increase .0166 units. On the other side the commercial business the slope of -0.191 for each increase of one unit in x, the Y is estimated to increase -0.191. The regression analysis for commercial represents 95.7% of our data, but we cannot say with 95% certainty that for residential customers that the size of the bill depends on when it gets paid. Introduction The background on the problem starts with the Quick Stab Collection Agency (QSCA) which collects bills in an eastern town. The company specializes in small accounts and avoids risky collection, such as those in which the...

...1. Deadlock (“deadly embrace”) is a system-wide tangle of resource requests that begins when 2 or more jobs are put on hold. • Each job is waiting for a vital resource to become available. • Needed resources are held by other jobs also waiting to run but can’t because they’re waiting for other unavailable resources. • The jobs come to a standstill. • The deadlock is complete if remainder of system comes to a standstill as well. • The resources can be categorized into physical and logical resources. The physical resources are printer, disk drive, cpu, memory, scanner etc. The logical resources are files. • Deadlock is more serious than indefinite postponement or starvation because it affects more than one job. • Because resources are being tied up, the entire system (not just a few programs) is affected. • Requires outside intervention (e.g., operators or users terminate a job) to resolved the deadlock. 2. Seven Cases of Deadlocks Case 1 Deadlocks on file requests Case 2 Deadlocks in databases Case 3 Deadlocks in dedicated device allocation Case 4 Deadlocks in multiple device allocation Case 5 Deadlocks in spooling Case 7 Deadlocks in disk sharing Case 8 Deadlocks in a network Case 1: Deadlocks on File Requests | |If jobs can request and hold files for duration of their...
