Question:
Mr. Hassan deals in chair manufacturing. He got an order to manufacture 3000 chairs of a specific design for a school lab. It requires a cutter costing Rs.50, 000 to design the chair that is useless after completing this order. Wood used for this order is of Rs.200, 000, nails costing Rs.60, 000, furniture polish costing Rs.90, 000 and miscellaneous factory overhead charges Rs.25,000. Labor charges are Rs.50 per chair. He has appointed a supervisor at Rs.10,000 per month only for the completion of this order. (Time required to complete the order is 2 months).
Calculate the following for the whole order:


Prime cost
Total factory cost 


Note:
 

Read the instructions mentioned in announcement carefully before attempting it.
 

Use the following format to answer:
Prime cost: _____________________
Total factory cost: ________________


Solution:

According to costing methods and techniques it is divide into 2 categories.
DIRECT Cost.
INDIRECT Cost.
Direct costs are the costs directly charged to produce any product.
These costs must be traceable.
...Indirect costs are the costs which are not directly involve in producing any product but are supporting costs to produce any product.
These costs are not traceable.
In this GDB of manufacturing furniture from woods, wood is the direct material used in production and cost incurred in manufacturing will be DIRECT Cost and it can be traced at per unit.
But nails and polishing material used in furniture is not traceable at per unit, so it will be treated as INDIRECT Cost.

Determine without solving, whether the following sets of vectors are linearly independent or dependent. Justify your answer with appropriate reason.
                                                                                                      

Question: 3                                                                                                      Marks: 10

If  is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system then find the value(s) of ‘’ using the Row Echelon Form method.                                                                      
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Question 1:

is mein aap ko yeh show karna hai k kia ham a ko x aur y k linear combination mein likh saktay hain..
i.e. aap ko yeh wali 2 equations solve karni hain row reduced echelon form ki madad se...

x+3y=5 and 2x+4y=10

agar in equations ka solution exist karta hai, tou answer YES hai, otherwise NO

Question 2

(a) Dependent (because if we write given vectors in matrix form and row reduce the given matrix, then two free variables will always exist because of the fact that variables are 4 but number of rows are 2. Therefore, at most two basic variables can exist and at least 2 free variables will always exist, and when free variable exists, then it is linearly DEPENDENT

(b) Remember, jab koi bhi aik vector ALL ZERO ho tou us case mein linearly DEPENDENT hota hai.... yahan par third vector ALL ZERO hai, tou is liay DEPENDENT answer aaye ga

(c) independent because none of the vectors is a constant multiple of another

Question (3)

yeh bahut straight forward hai, agar aap ko row reduced echelon form theek tarah samajh aayi hooi hai, tou aap yeh aasani se kar saktay ho...aap ko given augmeted matrix ko row reduce karna paray ga...aur phir aakhir mein equations ko combine karna paray ga, aur wahan se h ki value nikalni paray gi..

Q.NO.1
Progressive elaboration is the characteristic of the project. Progressively means "developing thoroughly in steps and continuing steadily by increments" while elaborated means “worked out with care and detail, developed thoroughly” Considering the above definition, give progressive elaboration of Motorway construction project.

Solution:
A highway is any public road. In American English, the term is common and almost always designates major roads. In British English, the term (which is not particularly common) designates any road open to the public. Any interconnected set of highways can be variously referred to as a "highway system", a "highway network", or a "highway transportation system". Each country has its own national highway system.

A highway is designed exclusively for high-speed vehicular traffic, with all traffic flow and ingress/egress regulated. They are known by various terms worldwide such as motorway, parkway, expressway, etc.

Highways provide an unhindered flow of traffic, with no traffic signals and intersections (where two roads meet). They are free of any at-grade crossings with other roads, railways, or pedestrian paths. 

A highway is also known as Motorway. So don’t get confused. 

Construction techniques

The most frequent way freeways are laid out is usually by building them from the ground up after things such as forestry or buildings are cleared away. Sometimes they deplete farmland, but other methods have been developed for economic, social, and even environmental reasons.

Full freeways are sometimes made by converting at-grade expressways or by replacing at-grade intersections with overpasses; however, any at-grade intersection that ends a freeway remains. Often, when there is a two-lane undivided freeway or expressway, it is converted by constructing a twin corridor on the side by leaving a median between the two travel directions. The opposing side for the old two-way corridor becomes a passing lane.

Other techniques involve building a new carriageway on the side of a divided highway that has a lot of private access on one side and sometimes has long driveways on the other side since an easement for widening comes into place, especially in rural areas.

When a "third" carriageway is added, sometimes it can shift a directional carriageway by 50–200 ft (or maybe more depending on land availability) as a way to retain private access on one side that favors over the other. Other instances involve constructing a service drive that shortens the long driveways typically by less than 100 m.

Environmental effects:

Environmental effects are related to curiosity of the project and work with care and develop thoroughly. 

Controlled-access highways have been constructed both between urban centers and within them, leading to the sprawling suburban development found near most modern cities. 

They ideally serve to reduce travel times and accident rates, though the higher speeds have increased the severity and death rates of the collisions that do occur.

Q.NO.2

Why project procurement management is most important? Give an overview.

Solution:

Project Risk management is the systematic process of identifying, analyzing, and responding to project risk. It includes maximizing the probability and consequences of positive events and minimizing the probability and consequences of adverse events to project objectives.

Project procurement management is important because of the following factors:


  • Risk Management Planning—deciding how to approach and plan the risk management activities for a project.
  • Risk Identification—determining which risks might affect the project and documenting their characteristics.
  • Qualitative Risk Analysis—performing a qualitative analysis of risks and conditions to prioritize their effects on project objectives.
  • Quantitative Risk Analysis—measuring the probability and consequences of risks and estimating their implications for project objectives.
  • Risk Response Planning—developing procedures and techniques to enhance opportunities and reduce threats to the project’s objectives.
  • Risk Monitoring and Control—monitoring residual risks, identifying new risks, executing risk reduction plans, and evaluating their effectiveness throughout the project life cycle.
  • These processes interact with each other and with the processes in the other knowledge areas. Each process generally occurs at least once in every project.

Problem Statement: Rent A CAR

You are required to write a program for RENT A CAR SYSTEM. The basic idea is that user will provide customer information, Car Model, and number of days. Upon this information your program will calculate the Amount for the Car. Rent Amount will be calculated on the Basis of Type of Model he / she is going to take on Rent and of Days on Rent. There are Types of Models available “2009”, “2010” and “2011”. For Model 2009 Minimum Rent per day is Rs. 5000/- for Model “2010” Amount is Rs. 8000/- and for “2011” Amount is Rs. 10,000/- Per Day.

Detailed Description:

1. The program should display Please provide customer Name: Please provide Car Model. Enter ‘A’ for Model 2009. Enter ‘B’ for Model 2010. Enter ‘C’ for Model 2011. Then your program should take these inputs, 2. Depending upon the choices that user has entered, your program will further display the prompt 3. If user has entered Car Model, then your program should prompt the user to enter the Car Number and No. of Days for which car is required.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Model Name :
Number of Days:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4. After getting all this information, now write a function which will calculate rental/charged amount on the basis of this information.

To calculate rental/charged amount we will use this formula: Rental Amount = charged amount * number of days Charged amount will be different for different Car Models as described above.

After calculating Rent Amount for Car display it on the screen.

Sample Output

Please provide customer Name: Ahsan Please provide Car Model Description. Enter ‘A’ for Model 2009. Enter ‘B’ for Model 2010.Enter ‘C’ for Model 2011

Please provide following information:

Car No. : LWQ234

Number of day’s: 3

Final output should be like this :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Customer Name: Ahsan
Car Model : 2009
Car No. : LWQ234
Number of days: 03
Your Rental Amount is: 15000
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Note:
Your assignment must be uploaded/submitted on or before April 18, 2011. Make it sure to submit only Cpp file of your Assignment. Assignment in notepad format or MS Word format will not be accepted.
