1. ONLY VISUAL STUDIO C# CONSOLE APPLIACTION
(NO JAVA CODING)
In this part of the assignment, you are required to create a C# Console Application project. The project name should be A3<FirstName><LastName>P1. For example a student with first name John and Last name Smith would name the project A3JohnSmithP1.
You are creating a console based math program. This program will be
shown as a menu with several options. The menu should be created
with a do loop.
The first option is to display a list of even numbers beginning at
0. Once this option is selected, the program asks the user for the
number of even numbers to display. After the user provides this
input, all the values should be displayed at once. This option
should be created using a "for" loop.
The second option is to display a sequence of perfect squares. The
program should begin by printing the square of 1, and ask the user
if they to continue or stop and return to the original menu. If the
user does not want to quit, the next square is printed. This
continues until the user wishes to end the sequence. This option
should be created using a while loop.
The third option is to exit the program. Any invalid option entered
by the user should prompt the menu to reappear and ask the same
three options.
Any numeric entry by the user should not crash if the user enters a
string.
Your program must:
a. Use the appropriate loop for each segment. [3 marks]
b. Encapsulate the logic of options 1 and 2 each within their own
method. [4 marks]
c. The functionality of the menu is correct as described. [3
marks]
d. Proper error handling. [3 marks]
e. Adhere to coding standards as described by the course. Marks
will be taken off wherever coding standards are not followed.

I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line,” said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. “But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown.”
Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for this year are given below:
| Sales | $ | 22,045,000 |
| Variable expenses | 13,882,000 | |
| Contribution margin | 8,163,000 | |
| Fixed expenses | 6,070,000 | |
| Net operating income | $ | 2,093,000 |
| Divisional average operating assets | $ | 5,500,000 |
The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 16.00% this year (considering all divisions). Next year the Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an additional investment that would increase average operating assets by $2,501,500. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be:
| Sales | $9,500,000 |
| Variable expenses | 65% of sales |
| Fixed expenses | $2,574,100 |
Required:
1. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for this year.
2. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for the new product line by itself.
3. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for next year assuming that it performs the same as this year and adds the new product line.
4. If you were in Dell Havasi’s position, would you accept or reject the new product line?
5. Why do you suppose headquarters is anxious for the Office Products Division to add the new product line?
6. Suppose that the company’s minimum required rate of return on operating assets is 13% and that performance is evaluated using residual income.
a. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for this year.
b. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for the new product line by itself.
c. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for next year assuming that it performs the same as this year and adds the new product line.
d. Using the residual income approach, if you were in Dell Havasi’s position, would you accept or reject the new product line?

Dwight Donovan, the president of Benson Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of three years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $119,000 and for Project B are $44,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $47,012 for Project A and $18,319 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next three years. Benson Enterprises’ cost of capital is 6 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Compute the net present value of each project. Which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach? Compute the approximate internal rate of return of each project. Which one should be adopted based on the internal rate of return approach?

QUESTION: Suppose you work in the quality assurance department of a chemical processing plant and it is your responsibility to ascertain whether the viscosity of a certain chemical remains within a prescribed limit. To that end you measure fluid samples using a viscometer.
a. The viscosities of a sample of 10 fluids processed during the day shift were measured to have the following results (Pa.s): 71, 45, 54, 75, 50, 49, 63, 55, 48, 50. Determine the range within which the true mean of the fluid samples from the day shift will be with a 95% confidence.
b. You then proceed to the measure the viscosities of a sample of 10 fluids processed during the night shift. You obtain the following measurements (Pa.s): 73, 45, 59, 75, 53, 58, 72, 54, 42, 52. Determine the range within which the true mean of the fluid samples from the night shift will be with a 95% confidence.
c. Can you state with a 95% probability that the viscosity of the fluid being produced during the day shift is different than the night shift? Frame your response in the form of a hypothesis test.

This program extends the earlier "Online shopping cart" program. (Consider first saving your earlier program).
(1) Extend the ItemToPurchase class per the following specifications:
Private fields
string itemDescription - Initialized in default constructor to "none"
Parameterized constructor to assign item name, item description, item price, and item quantity (default values of 0). (1 pt)
Public member methods
setDescription() mutator & getDescription() accessor (2 pts)
printItemCost() - Outputs the item name followed by the quantity, price, and subtotal
printItemDescription() - Outputs the item name and description
Ex. of printItemCost() output:
Bottled Water 10 @ $1 = $10
Ex. of printItemDescription() output:
Bottled Water: Deer Park, 12 oz.
(2) Create two new files:
ShoppingCart.java - Class definition
ShoppingCartManager.java - Contains main() method
Build the ShoppingCart class with the following specifications. Note: Some can be method stubs (empty methods) initially, to be completed in later steps.
Private fields
String customerName - Initialized in default constructor to "none"
String currentDate - Initialized in default constructor to "January 1, 2016"
