Assignment Question(s):                                                               

Q1. Differentiate between routine operating decisions and non-routine operating decisions with suitable examples. List all non-routine operating decisions and explain any two decisions with suitable examples.

Note: Your answer must include numerical examples for each method along with qualitative consideration.

Q2. Suppose that you are working in a company as a cost manager that has two support departments and two operating departments. Determine the total department cost and allocation base for these departments and allocate the support department cost to the operating department based on the following methods:

Note: You are required to assume values of your own and they should not be copied from any sources.                                                                                                

Q3.  SFC Company is in the manufacturing process of wooden products and makes several wooden items. The following is the information related to three products manufactured by SFC company: Product X, Y, and Z. The joint costs of the three products in 2015 were SAR 110,000. The total number of units for each product and the selling price per unit is given below:

 

Products Units Selling Price per unit
X 5,000     SAR 150

Showcasing Your Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Locate a job posting on indeed.com, glassdoor.com, monster.com, or other job boards and read the description of the position. This can be the same one you identified in the discussion for this week. What skills do they specifically call for in your area of expertise? These should sound familiar. This will give you an idea of what real employers are looking for now in your discipline.

Spare a 1–3 page memo to the Project Manager showcasing the knowledge, skills, and abilities you are bringing to the team. Be sure to provide the following:

A high-level overview of the key requirements and duties from the job you have just taken with the new company. This can be taken from the job posting you identified in the discussion for this week. The overview you provide should be consistent with what is emphasized in the job posting.
A URL to the job posting for your position. Be sure that this is a persistent link and a current posting—not one you have used in a previous assignment. Again, this can be the same one you posted as part of the discussion for this week.

Explanation of why you are a good fit for this project. You can expand on what you submitted in the discussion for this week. This is your opportunity to reference specific experiences that make you uniquely qualified for this role on the team. Be sure you also include an explanation of why those experiences are relevant to the position.
A list of any certifications you have. If none, list any specific accomplishments you have achieved relevant to the project or that would demonstrate the skills that a certification might demonstrate. Be sure to include a brief explanation of why the certification or accomplishment is relevant to the job and/or your role in the project.
Write the memo as if you are responding to questions from the PM on what they can expect from you on the project.

If you’re the cybersecurity expert, what concerns do you have, and which methods will you use to secure the network and the cloud solution? What does the partner service provide and what will we need to do/know in the company, and what training will be needed for users?

Project Recommendations

For this assignment, you will create a response to the following memo from your Project Manager:

Part 1
The first part of your response is based on the research you complete determining whether to go with a company to manage cloud services or to rent space with one of the well-established cloud services. Include the following:

A list of the pros and cons to both options. You should have at least two pros and cons for each option.
Your recommendation that is supported by your research.
A list of the sources that informed your recommendation. Be sure that these sources are varied and from a variety of relevant perspectives. They should also be credible sources. For example, what Google claims their cloud service will do may not be the experience of a business using their service. In the same way, a small business may have a different experience with the same service a large business uses.

Part 2
The second part is the additions needed to the Gantt chart in your area of expertise. Consider what steps will need to occur in your area in order to make this project possible. Consider also the time it will take to complete each of the subtasks, keeping in mind the overall timeline of the project. Include the following:

A list of subtasks that need to be added to your area of the Gantt chart. (For example, if you’re a networking specialist, you’ll need to decide what you’re going to do with the network to support the project. Are you going to hire an outside company to expand your network? Do you have the bandwidth you’ll need now that the system is going to be located in the cloud? How much time do you need to purchase equipment like an additional router or a better firewall?)
A breakdown of any equipment that will be needed for each subtask and when it will need to be installed.

If you’re the cybersecurity expert, what concerns do you have, and which methods will you use to secure the network and the cloud solution? What does the partner service provide and what will we need to do/know in the company, and what training will be needed for users?

Common Core Core Performance Task

Road Maintenance A county’s Department of Transportation is repainting the lane lines on Main Street. Several streets that intersect Main Street are shown in the diagram below.

At 1 P.M., the work crew starts at the intersection of New Street and Main Street and moves toward the intersection of Main Street and Wilson Street, painting lane lines at an average speed of 5 mi/h. The work crew will take its afternoon break when it is 3 mi from the intersection of Main Street and Wilson Street.
Task Description Determine what time the work crew will take its afternoon break .

Connecting the Task to the Math Practices As you complete the task, you’ll apply these Standards for Mathematical Practice.
• You’ll use a coordinate plane to model the streets in the diagram. (MP 4)

• You’ll write equations of lines to represent streets, and you will write and interpret a function modeling a distance that changes over time. (MP 2)
