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.

Objective you will:
1. Implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) from scratch, including the Big Five (Rule of Five)
2. Implement the TreeSort algorithm using a in-order traversal to store sorted elements in a vector.
3. Compare the performance of TreeSort with C++'s std::sort on large datasets.
Part 1: Understanding TreeSort How TreeSort Works TreeSort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that leverages a Binary Search Tree (BST):
1. Insert all elements into a BST (logically sorting them).
2. Traverse the BST in-order to extract elements in sorted order.
3. Store the sorted elements in a vector.
