                          George Harry, CEO of Red Ball Express, was frustrated and upset with the latest quarterly report on profit margins and overall level of profit for the company. Increased fuel prices were a concern for several of the previous quarters during the current year, but George thought that this quarter would be better since fuel prices had declined somewhat; however, Red Ball’s operational costs were approximately the same this quarter as the previous three quarters. Just then, Dave Smith, one of his newest hires, came into his office without knocking, which was unusual. George could tell that Dave was excited and then Dave exclaimed, “Wow, George, did you see the latest issue of Motor Carrier News?” George indicated that he had not had the opportunity to review the magazine, and asked, “What is so dam exciting about it?Well, our biggest competitor, Roadway Carriers, was featured in an article for their cost-saving initiatives. They are expected to make a significant improvement in their profit for the last quarter. Our shareholders are really going to be upset when they see our quarterly results.” George wondered how Roadway did it and immediately asked Dave that question. Dave indicated that the article discussed some new technology that they were using to improve equipment and driver productivity. Specifically, he mentioned RFID tags and GPS systems. George was not familiar with the new technologies and asked Dave to prepare a report on technology that Red Ball could employ to help them address their challenges with equipment management.

Question1- Help Dave prepare this report by providing some information on the benefits of RFID tags and GPS systems in the transportation industry.

Quesiton2- Are there additional technologies that Red Ball could implement to help them improve efficiency? Explain

At least 2 pages or just long enough to get your point across.

B. Explain the importance of distinguishing between variable and fixed costs. 

C. The budgeted income statement, assuming 600 units to be produced and sold, a per unit selling price of $85, an income tax rate of 28% and the following information.

a.    Cost of goods sold of $35 per unit

b.    Labor = $400/month

· One part-time employee will be hired to take care of packaging and shipping. This employee will be paid $10 per hour. He or she is estimated to work 40 hours total per month.

c.     Advertising fees = $3,000

h.    Office Supplies = $900

i.      Conference Exhibitor Fee = $3000

j.      Travel Expenses for Conference (e.g. airfare, meals, taxi) = $1200

Define a class named TaxReturn that contains a tax ID number, last name, first name,

  • annual income, number of dependents, and amount of tax owed for a taxpayer. Include
  • constant static fields that hold the tax rates for the situations shown in the following
  • table.
  • Income ($)
  • 0 dependents
  • 1 dependent
  • 2 or more dependents
  • 0-10,000
  • 0.10
  • 0.08
  • 0.07
  • 10,001-30,000
  • 0.12
  • 0.11
  • 0.09
  • 30,001-60,000
  • 0.18
  • 0.15
  • 0.13
  • 60,001 and up
  • 0.25
  • 0.22
  • 0.19
  • Include a static function that displays the tax table. Write a main() function that contains a single statement that displays the tax table. Save the file as TaxReturn.cpp.

TaxReturn2.cpp

  • Add two public functions to the TaxReturn class: setAll(), which can set the field values and display(), which can display them. The setAll()function accepts arguments USING CLASSES for the tax ID number, last and first names, annual income, and number of dependents. The setAll()function should then call a private function that computes the tax owed. Create an array of 10 TaxReturn objects. In a loop, prompt the user for ID number, first and last name, annual income, and number of dependents, then use these values to set a TaxReturn’s fields. At the end of the loop, display all the values for all 10 TaxReturn objects, including the tax owed. Save the file as TaxReturn2.cpp.
