QUESTION 1 CASE

The coronavirus pandemic is a human tragedy, affecting hundreds of thousands of people globally. It is also having a growing impact on the global value chain, hence the global economy. All serious companies around the world have therefore found innovative ways of keeping business going nonetheless. One of such notable companies is Ghana’s Kantanka Inc. The company has established a dedicated team to ensure a simple but well- managed set of processes that maximize the health and safety of colleagues and customers. This team is led by the CEO of the company. The focus of the team has been broken down into five distinct work streams:  Employee management and wellbeing  Financial stress-testing and contingency planning  Supply chain monitoring  Marketing and sales  Any other business Kantanka Inc. is a car manufacturing company originating from Ghana which produces low-end vehicles. The company’s competitive advantage stems from its unconventional but effective and energy efficient technology which is not found in most vehicles around the world. The dashboard and other interior parts of the vehicles are made from wood, and the vehicles are powered by car batteries and solar energy. Recently, they have added on aircrafts and mechanized farming technologies. The company is set to take the African market by storm. The company decided in 2015 to enter Nigeria and Germany. With the backing of the government of Ghana, negotiations with both countries succeeded as negotiators from Nigeria and Germany were in natural sync with the Ghanaian lobbyist contracted. Once the company has gone international, it was only natural that value chain activities of the company would have to be rationalized to deal with the expansion, as well as all forms of risk with respect to exchange rate fluctuations. Speaking of financials, in this coronavirus pandemic period, companies such as Kantanka Inc. that entered into future contracts and used currency options as hedging instruments would have less to worry about since excuses from business partners would almost be non-existent. Recently in 2017, a company from Sậo Tome and Principé, called PreZi contacted Kantanka Inc. to obtain permission to use its technology. As to whether to agree or not to the agreement is still under scrutiny by Kantanka’s international expansion team.

a) Discuss five (5) ways the two negotiators can get along in order for their cultural backgrounds not to affect the outcome of their bargaining process.

b) Explain three (3) financial risks Kantanka Inc would definitely encounter.

c) What five (5) benefits is Kantanka Inc likely to gain from entering the German market?

d) Explain five (5) problems Kantanka Inc’s international expansion team should anticipate before entering the German market.

e) Explain the contractual strategy that would best characterize the Kantanka-PreZi agreement once agreed to.

The Hyundai Blue-Will Plug-In hybrid is a compact 4-door, 4-seat sedan.It is a test bed of new ideas, including panoramic glass roof with solar
cells for recharging batteries, a thermal generator that converts hot exhaust gases into electricity, drive-by-wire steering, lithium polymer
batteries, and touch screen controls. Blue-Will promises an EV driving range up to 40 miles on a charge and an economy rating up to 100 mpg.
Helping to achieve those numbers is a direct injection 1.6 liter 152-hp four, a CVT and a 100 kw electric motor..

1. A Hyundai Blue-Will hybrid is capable of an acceleration of 4.3 m/s. It has a mass of 770 kilograms of steel, 180 kilograms of iron, 110 kilograms of plastics, 80 kilograms of aluminum, 60 kilograms of rubber, 20 kilograms of glass, and 8 kilograms of other materials. The driver has a mass of 85 kg. a Sketch the system of the Blue Will b.Sketch the system of the driver c. What is the force on the driver from the acceleration? d.Compare the force of the car on the driver to the driver’s weight, using a ratio. 2. The Hyundai Blue Will hybrid is driving at a velocity of 125 kph, and crashes into another car traveling at a velocity of 35 kph. Assuming the drivers are of comparable mass, and the car bumpers lock on impact: a. What is the final velocity of the cars? b. If the famous Blue Will crashes into a tree, instead, in 2.6 seconds, what is the impulse? c. What is the total force exerted by the tree in stopping the Blue Will? 3. The Famous Blue Will hybrid is being driven at a velocity of 75 kph when the driver sees a tree ahead. a. The driver locks his brakes, causing the car to skid. The coefficient of friction of rubber on dry concrete is 1.0 (static) and 0.7 (kinetic). How much force will the brakes apply to the car? What difference would it make if the driver pumped the brakes? b. After 1.0 second of braking, what will be the car’s velocity? c. How far in advance will the driver need to start braking to avoid the tree? 4. The Hyundai has about the same drag as a Camry (about 0.36) and air has a density of about 1.21 kg/m3. The cross section of the Hyundai is about 1.5 m × 1.5 m. Take the torque provided by the engine at speed as about 250 lbf. a. What is the force applied by air resistance at 75 kph? b. Would this help the driver avoid hitting the tree in the previous problem? Why or why not? c. What is the maximum velocity of the car? Is this answer reasonable? Why or why not?

Hello so I have written this Quicksort code, but it only seems to work when the array size is 100 or less. If it goes over than it takes forever to run and never completes. Please help debug and fix.

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] myArray = new int[]{5, 10, 12, 55, 24, 90, 52, 900};
System.out.println("Before Sort");
printArray(myArray);
System.out.println("Quicksorted");
quickSort(myArray, 0, myArray.length - 1);
printArray(myArray);

}

public static void quickSort(int array[], int low, int high) {

if (low < high) {
int partitionPoint = partition(array, low, high);
quickSort(array, low, partitionPoint - 1);
quickSort(array, partitionPoint + 1, high);
}
}

public static int partition(int array[], int low, int high) {

int pivot = array[low];
int i = low;
int j = high;

while (i < j) {
while (array[i] < pivot) {
i++;
}

while (array[j] > pivot) {
j--;
}

if (i < j) {
int temp = array[j];
array[j] = array[i];
array[i] = temp;
}
}

int temp = array[j];
array[j] = pivot;
pivot = temp;

return j;

}

public static void printArray(int[] array) {
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
System.out.println(array[i] + " ");
}
}
}

A simple random sample was taken of 1000 shoppers Respondents were classified by gender (male or female) and by meat department preference (beef, chicken, fish). Results are shown in the contingency table:

Is there a difference in meat preference between males and females? The solution to this problem takes four steps: (1) state the hypotheses, (2) formulate an analysis plan, (3) analyze sample data, and (4) interpret results. Use a 0.05 level of significance.  

Χ² = (200 - 180)²/180 + (150 - 180)²/180 + (50 - 40)²/40
    + (250 - 270)²/270 + (300 - 270)²/270 + (50 - 60)²/60
Χ² = 400/180 + 900/180 + 100/40 + 400/270 + 900/270 + 100/60
Χ² = 2.22 + 5.00 + 2.50 + 1.48 + 3.33 + 1.67 = 16.2

As you can see, the math gets a bit cumbersome, so I did it for you!  

a & b) State the null and alternative hypotheses: Ho ___?___ , Ha ___?___

c. Which specific type of chi square test was used for this analysis? ___?___

d. What are the degrees of freedom used for this problem (columns -1)(rows -1) = df = ___?___

e. So, the P-value is the probability that a chi-square statistic having 2 degrees of freedom is more extreme than (enter a value) ___?___

The P-value was calculated for you: P(Χ2 > 16.2) = 0.0003

f. Based on the given information, interpret the results in symbols and values ________

g. Then interpret the results in words (full sentence) ___________

h. What will the distribution look like on a Bell curve? ____________

Business opportunities in Canada and America in the next decade

First of all, both Canada and the United State have English as their primary language and they are both multicultural countries. For instance, most of their citizens are immigrants from all over the world and use English as their main means of communication (Kusow, 2006). Thus, this contributes to creating favourable conditions, as well as opportunities for international investors to flock the market and grow their businesses. Secondly, Canada and the United States have a similar geographic location, both located in North America. Moreover, both countries share about 9000-kilometer long land borders (Konrad & Everitt, 2011). As a result, this enhances the trade between two countries and it is clear that the US has become Canada’s largest trading partner. Last but not least, both countries have abundant natural resources such as minerals, fossil fuels, and forest resources (Bailey et al., 1985). Therefore, it is not hard to understand why investors around the world view Canada and the US as a profitable choice: manufacturing, mining and refining minerals, and tourism.

On the other hand, Canada's nominal GDP is only 1.7 trillion dollars compared to the United States with the world's largest economy of 22 trillion dollars (Silver, 2020). Hence, the size of the US market is much larger than that of Canada. Therefore, the income and living standard in the US is undoubtedly higher. Thus, the fruit of operating a business in the United States will come easier as long as one has a clear goal and mind. Moreover, according to Statistics Canada (2018), Canada's population is significantly less than the United States. Consequently, running businesses in services like restaurants and hotels will have more potential and opportunities to grow in the United States than in Canada. Finally, Canada's trade is not as widespread as that of the United States. Thereupon, the development of American trade is also partly because of it being one of the world's largest economy. Hence, the United States is an ideal country to start businesses as well as invest in the field of foreign trade. Furthermore, the weather conditions in the US is more likable that business will not have to suffer from extreme climate. In Canada, during winter months, there are times that wide areas businesses have to shut down because of the snow. This is by no means good for the development or opportunity of growing.

Overall, there are many similarities and differences between operating a business in Canada and the United States. Operating and growing a business in the US will conspicuously bring greater success. On the other hand, starting a business in Canada will have more opportunities for investors and startups than it does in the US, for it being less competitive. Since the US market is saturating with both newly formed and developed businesses, the Canadian market is nevertheless original and offers more opportunities for young people. Thus, operating a business in the US will gain greater success but will pay a higher risk. In contrast, starting and developing a business in Canada will bear fruit as there are more opportunities in the coming decade.
