LetsVacuum, a family-owned manufacturer of high-end vacuum cleaners, has grown exponentially over the last few years. However, the company is having difficulty preparing for future growth. The only information system used at LetsVacuum is an old accounting system. The company has one manufacturing plant located in Selangor; and three warehouses, in Johore, Kedah, and Trengganu. The LetsVacuum sales force comprises only Malaysian nationals, and the company purchases about 25 percent of its vacuum parts and materials from a single overseas supplier. You have been hired to recommend the information systems LetsVacuum should implement in preparing for future growth.

1.   In your own terms,
a.   Identify and briefly describe each of the key business functions of LetsVacuum.

b.   Describe an example of the company’s business process either in any of these functional areas or that is cross-functional in nature. Use diagrams whenever possible to support your description.

14. Keller Construction is considering two new investments. Project E calls for the purchase of earthmoving equipment. Project H represents an investment in a hydraulic lift. Keller wishes to use a net present value profile in comparing the projects. The investment and cash flow patterns are as follows: Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

Project E Project H
($54,000 Investment) ($48,000 Investment)
Year Cash Flow Year Cash Flow
1 $ 12,000 1 $ 24,000
2 16,000 2 17,000
3 26,000 3 18,000
4 33,000

a. Determine the net present value of the projects based on a zero percent discount rate.

Project E
Project H

b. Determine the net present value of the projects based on a discount rate of 11 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Project E
Project H

c. If the projects are not mutually exclusive, which project(s) would you accept if the discount rate is 11 percent?

Project E
Project H
Both H and E

If the activity of a radioactive substance is initially 398 disintegrations/minute and two days later it is 285 disintegrations/minute, what is the activity four days later still, or six days after the start? Give your answer in disintegrations/minute.

note: I'm really unsure of the step by step instructions on how to enter this in the calculator. Prof had an answer of N = 146 days with a disintegration constant of 0.16698/day. Please be very descriptive in your answer! *also what does the e represent in the formula N(t) = No e ^-ln2 x t/T1/2

Much appreciated! Thank-you!

The following transactions and events took place at MRI Company during its recent calendar-year reporting period.

  1. In September 2011, MRI sold $140,000 of merchandise covered by a 180-day warranty. Prior experience shows that costs of the warranty equal 5% of sales. Compute September’s warranty expense and prepare the adjusting journal entry for the warranty.
  2. On October 12, 2011, MRI arranged with a supplier to replace MRI’s overdue $10,000 account payable by paying $2,500 cash and signing a note for the remainder.  The note matures in 90 days and has a 12% interest rate.  Prepare the entries recorded on October 12, December 31, and January 10, 2010 related to this transaction.

Using C++ and using a boolean variable with local scope to control the looping structure:

How do I create a program that will simulate a game of craps with the below qualification:

Containing two functions -an int rollDice() function that will simulate the rolling of two dice and the main function. When called the roll Dice() function will generate two random numbers between 1 and 6 inclusive, add them, and return the sum as the integer variable “point”. The function will also output the value of the “roll” of each digital die and the value of “point” to cout. Selection and looping structures in the int main() function will determine the impact of each roll (win, lose, or roll again) on the game, print the results, and continue the game if necessary.
