Chapter AE, Problem AE1.1
The spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel file Ch01Ex01_U10e.xlsx contains records of employee activity on special projects. Open this workbook and examine the data that you find in the three spreadsheets it contains. Assess the accuracy, relevancy, and sufficiency of this data to the following people and problems.
- a. You manage the Denver plant, and you want to know how much time your employees are spending on special projects.
- b. You manage the Reno plant, and you want to know how much time your employees are spending on special projects.
- c. You manage the Quota Computation project in Chicago, and you want to know how much time your employees have spent on that project.
- d. You manage the Quota Computation project for all three plants, and you want to know the total time employees have spent on your project.
- e. You manage the Quota Computation project for all three plants, and you want to know the total labor cost for all employees on your project.
- f. You manage the Quota Computation project for all three plants, and you want to know how the labor-hour total for your project compares to the labor-hour totals for the other special projects.
- g. What conclusions can you make from this exercise?
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
a.
Time taken by employees for completing the special project in Denver plant:
Special project at Denver involves Market Analysis, Quota computation, Sourcing review and Production planning.
- Time taken by employees for Quota computation is “22+30+17+31=100” hours.
- Time taken by employees for Market analysis is “17+21=38” hours.
- Time taken by employees for sourcing review is “9+22+10+21+5=67” hours.
- Time taken by employees for production planning is “12+15+21+35+20+19=122 hours”
Therefore, time taken by employees for completing the special project in Denver plant is “327”hours.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
b.
Time taken by employees for completing the special projects in Reno plant:
Special project at Reno plant involves Quota computation, Sourcing review and Production planning.
- Time taken by employees for Quota computation is “27+42=69” hours.
- Time taken by employees for Sourcing review is “17+23+21+27=88” hours.
- Time taken by employees for Production planning is “19+20+11=50” hours.
Therefore, the time taken by employees for completing the special project in Reno plant is “207” hours.
c.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Time taken by employees for Quota Computation in Chicago plant:
Time taken by employees for special project at Chicago plant for Quota computation is: “27+12+22+29+11+29 = 130” hours.
Therefore, the time taken by employees for computation in Chicago plant is “130” hours.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
d.
Total time taken by employees for Quota Computation for all plants:
Time taken by employees for special project at Chicago plant, Denver plant and Reno plant for Quota computation is:
- Time taken by employees for Quota computation in Denver plant is “22+30+17+31=100” hours.
- Time taken by employees for Quota computation in Reno plant is “27+42=69” hours.
- Time taken by employees for special project at Chicago plant for Quota computation is: “27+12+22+29+11+29 = 130”hours.
Therefore, the total time taken by employees is: “100+69+130=299” hours.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
e.
Total labor cost for all employees in the Quota computation project:
- Suppose the hourly pay of an employee is “$30”.
- The number of hours worked by the employees on Quota computation project is “299” hours.
Labor cost= hourly wage × number of hours = 30 × 299 = $8970
Therefore, the total labor cost for all employees in the quota computation project is “8970$”.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
f.
Comparison of labor hour total for Quota computation with other projects:
- The total time taken by employees for Quota computation is: “100+69+130=299” hours.
- The total time taken by employees for market analysis is “38” hours.
- The total time taken by employees for sourcing review is “67+88+52=207” hours.
- The total time taken by employees for production planning is “122+75+50 =247” hours.
Thus, the ratio of Quota computation with Market analysis = 299/38=7.86 hours, the ratio of Quota computation with sourcing review = 299/207=1.44 hours, and the ratio of Quota computation with production planning = 299/247= 1.21 hours.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
g.
Conclusion:
From the above questions, it can be observed that Quota computation almost takes “37%” of the total time taken to complete all projects as compared to the projects – market analysis, sourcing review and production planning.
Therefore, it can be said that the labor employed in Quota computation project is less efficient as compared to the other three projects.

- Write a C program to calculate the checksum for a given line of an IntelHex file. To get full points, you must be able to explain to the instructor the individual parts of the IntelHex line (see below), as well as any part of your code. Definition:The checksum is calculated as the two's complement of the sum of the individual bytes from the beginning of the line to the checksum. Example:If you enter this string: :10010000214601360121470136007EFE09D21901XX You should get a checksum of 40 instead of XX. Demonstrate the completion of the task by calculating checksums, for example, for the following strings: :100010000C9445000C9445000C9445000C944500xx:100020000C9445000C9445000C9445000C944500xx:100030000C9445000C9445000C9445000C944500xx:100040000C9445000C9445000C9445000C944500xxarrow_forwardWrite a program to calculate the function sin(x) or cos(x) using a Taylor series expansion around the point 0. In other words, you will program the sine or cosine function yourself, without using any existing solution. You can enter the angles in degrees or radians. The program must work for any input, e.g. -4500° or +8649°. The function will have two arguments: float sinus(float radians, float epsilon); For your own implementation, use one of the following relations (you only need to program either sine or cosine, you don't need both): Tip 1: Of course, you cannot calculate the sum of an infinite series indefinitely. You can see (if not, look in the program) that the terms keep getting smaller, so there will definitely be a situation where adding another term will not change the result in any way (see problem 1.3 – machine epsilon). However, you can end the calculation even earlier – when the result changes by less than epsilon (a pre-specified, sufficiently small number, e.g.…arrow_forwardWrite a C program that finds and prints the machine epsilon for the float and double data types. Also print the values of __FLT_EPSILON__ and __DBL_EPSILON__ defined in float.h. Reminder – the phrase data type tells how the compiler “understands” the ones and zeros you are working with. This identifies whether you are working with integers, letters, real numbers, and so on. Another definition:Machine epsilon is the "distance" between the number 1 and its immediate right neighbor. We work in binary (decimal is in parentheses): 1 + 0,1 = 1,1 (1 + 1/2 = 1,5) 1 + 0,01 = 1,01 (1 + 1/4 = 1,25) 1 + 0,001 = 1,001 (1 + 1/8 = 1,125) then, due to the limited accuracy of the computer at a certain number of decimal places, a situation arises where 1 + 0.0…001 = 1 (instead of the correct 1.0…001). Then the previous number 0.0…01 is called the machine epsilon . It is obvious that its value may be different on different computers. However, the machine…arrow_forward
- Write a program that performs a rotational bit shift to the right for a positive integer. The user enters a number, the number of bits to shift (and, if you want, the direction of the shift, but right is enough). Example:The number 9 (in binary form 1001) when rotated to the right by 1 bit becomes 1100. Tip : A bit rotation (also known as a cyclic shift) is an operation in which the bits in a binary number are shifted a certain number of places to the right or left, with bits that “fall out” at one end being returned to the opposite end. So, start with a bit shift operation. Write a few examples on paper before programming.Tip : Use the unsigned int data type.You can get the number of bits of this data type as follows: int bit_count = sizeof (unsigned int ) * 8arrow_forwardI need help resolving the following case problemarrow_forwardClick Here for the Solution 27.
