Essay

Armidale University offers only high-tech graduate-level programs.Armidale has two principal operating departments,Engineering and Computer Sciences,and two support departments,Facility and Technology Maintenance and Enrollment Services.The base used to allocate Facility and Technology Maintenance is budgeted total maintenance hours.The base used to allocate Enrollment Services is number of credit hours for a department.The Facility and Technology Maintenance budget is $500 000,while the Enrollment Services budget is $1 200 000.The following chart summarises budgeted amounts and allocation-base amounts used by each department:
$\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$$\text { Services Provided (Annually) }$
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline& \text { Budget } & \text { Engineering } & \begin{array}{c}\text { Computer } \\\text { Sciences }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { F\&T } \\\text { Maintenance }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Enrollment } \\\text { Services }\end{array} \\ \hline \begin{array}{l}\text { Engineering } \\\end{array} & \$ 3500000 & & & & \\\hline \begin{array}{l}\text { Computer } \\\text { Sciences }\end{array} & \$ 1400000 & & & & \\\hline \begin{array}{c}F \& T \\\text { Maintenance } \\\text { (in hours) } \\\end{array} & \$ 500000 & 2000 & 1000 & \text { Zero } & 5000 \\\hline \begin{array}{l}\text { Enrollment } \\\text { Services }\end{array} & \$ 1200000 & 24000 & 36000 & 2000 & \text { Zero } \\\hline\end{array}$
Required:
a.Set up algebraic equations in linear equation form for each activity.
b.Determine total costs for each department by solving the equations from part (a)using the reciprocal method.
(Engineering = Eng;Computer Sciences = CS;Facility and Technical Maintenance = FTM;Enrollment Services = ES)

Definitions:

High-powered Objective

An objective lens used in microscopy with high magnification capabilities, allowing for the detailed observation of minute specimens.

Micrometers

Units of length in the metric system equal to one millionth of a meter, commonly used in science and engineering for precise measurements.

μm

Micrometer, a unit of length in the metric system equal to one millionth of a meter, used to measure small distances, such as those in biological cells and structures.

Total Magnification

The combined magnifying power of an optical system, calculated by multiplying the objective lens magnification by the ocular lens magnification.
