Develop car rental application may use to produce a receipt. A receipt will be formatted as follows:

          E Z – R I D E R
      Rental Receipt

Customer       : John Jones                          
Driver License : PA 12343
Telephone      : 724-555-8345
Credit Card    : VISA 12345678012

Vehicle        : Mercedes 350E
Tag #          : PA 342399
Rent Class     : Luxury Sedan
Daily Rate     : $   95.00
Weekly Rate    : $ 545.00

Date/Time Out : 01/10/2017 at 10:45
Date/Time In   : 01/20/2017 at 11:44
Rental Charge : $ 830.00
Airport Tax    : $ 150.00
Sales Tax      : $   49.80
Total          : $ 1029.80

For this application create four main classes for customer, rental class, vehicle, and rental agreement. The customer class should have six pieces of information (i.e. instance variables) including customer name (as a String), driver’s license state (as a String), driver’s license number (as an int), telephone number (as a String), credit card type (as a String), and credit card number (as a long). A rental class represents the rental terms for a class of vehicle. For example Compact, Mid-Size, Full Size, Sport etc. are classifications of cars with each time having different rental terms. A rental class should have three pieces of information: a rental class name (as a String), a daily rate (as a double) and a weekly rate (as a double). A vehicle should have four pieces of information: a make/model (as a String), state issuing a tag (as a String), a tag number (as a String) and a rental class (as a rental class). Lastly a rental agreement is the agreement of a customer to rental a given vehicle together with the rental terms, date/time out and date/time in. Thus a rental agreement has 4 pieces of information: the customer, the vehicle, date/time out (as a LocalDateTime) and date/time in.  

For your customer class, provide a constructor accepting values for all instance variables. Provide getter methods for all instance variables except account number, but setter methods for only the telephone, credit card type and credit card number variables.

For rental class class, provide a constructor accepting values for all instance variable. Provide getter methods for all instance variables. Likewise for the vehicle class.

For your rental agreement class provide a constructor accepting values for all instance variables except date/time in as it is intended that this field will be given a value only when the customer returns the vehicle. Provide only getter methods for all instance variables. Provide a setter method for only the date/time in variable.

To represent a date/time use Java’s LocalDateTime class. For this class, however, do not use new to create instances. Instead use the of method:

LocalDateTime dateTimeOut = LocalDateTime.of(2017,1,10, 8, 45);

The above example creates a LocalDateTime for 1/10/2017 at 8:45.

In the rental agreement provide getRentalCharge(), getAirportTax(), getSalesTax() and getTotal() methods. The getRentalCharge() is to return the number of days rented times the daily rental rate. The getAirportTax() is to return the number of days rented times $ 15.00.   The getTax() is to return the rental change times 6%. The getTotal() is to return the sum of rental charge, airport tax, and tax.

In addition to the special get methods, provide a print receipt method that will print the receipt according to the above format.

A day is a 24 hours period. However, there is a one hour grace in returning a car. That is if a car is returned after 24 hours and 59 minutes, then only one day is used in the computations. To compute the number of days between dateTimeOut and dateTimeIn, use the following code:

int noDays = Duration.between(dateTimeOut,dateTimeIn).plusMinutes(23 * 60);

BONUS 5 points: have the computation of rental charge use weekly rate to the best benefit of the customer. The data in the example is using the weekly rate. That is one week charge plus three days at the daily rate.   The weekly rate should be used where it benefits the customer even in cases where it is better than the daily rate. For example if in the example the vehicle was rented 6 days and 1 week rental charges should be used.
                              
In addition, develop another class to test your classes by printing three separate, and different, recepts. This class will have a main method.   In the main method, create instances of your classes in order to print the three separate receipts. Thus, you will hard code inside the main the values to be used when instantiating your classes. With the exception of the fixed values given in the computations above (for example .06 for sales tax rate), do not hard code any other data within your classes. For each receipt instance, call the print method to print the receipt. Make sure to call setDateTimeIn appropriately after creating an instance of a rental receipt and before printing.

NOTE: You do not need, and therefore should not, code any routines to input the values from the user or from files. Your test class is sufficient to demonstrate that your classes are working correctly. If you do the bonus, make sure to have data that will test the logic.

Make sure the instance variables are private. Provide javadoc for each class and methods. Abide by good programming practices.

A)Consider the following gases, all at STP: Ne, SF6, N2, CH4.

Which gas is most likely to depart from assumption 3 of the kinetic molecular theory (Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules are negligible.)?

Which one is closest to an ideal gas in its behavior?

Which one has the highest root-mean-square molecular speed?

Which one has the highest total molecular volume relative to the space occupied by the gas?

Which has the highest average kinetic molecular energy?

Which one would effuse more rapidly than N2?

B) A mixture of gases contains 0.75mol N2, 0.35mol O2, and 0.20mol CO2. The total pressure of the mixture is 1.57atm .

What is the partial pressure of O2?

What is the partial pressure of CO2?

C) What is the partial pressure in atm of O2 of this mixture if it is held in a 12.60?L vessel at 14?C? (O2 =.149mole)

What is the partial pressure in atm of N2 of this mixture if it is held in a 12.60?L vessel at 14?C? (N2= .241mole)

Coors and Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) are competing against each other to try to capture a larger share of the US beer market by conducting national advertising campaigns. The NFL offers the best target market audience (males, aged 18-34) because young men are the largest customer group for these companies beer products.

Each company had two advertising choices:

1. Advertise $100M annually for each company with the NFL. This would lead to profits for each company of $2B annually; or

2. Advertise $200M annually for each company with the NFL. This would lead to profits for each company of $1B annually.

However, if one company advertised $200M, while the other remained at $100M, the beer company that increased its advertising would have profits of $2.5B while the other company would have profits of $500M.

What profit outcomes will occur for Coors and Anheuser-Busch given the above framework? What is the impact on the NFL? Assume the management teams of Coors and Anheuser-Busch Make have complete knowledge (i.e. perfect information) on all of the possible outcomes, not only for their own company, but for their competitor. Make sure to draw a payoff matrix to support your answer.

Two hockey pucks are moving to the right with puck 1 behind puck 2. Puck 1 is moving twice as fast as puck 2, but its mass is half that of puck 2. If puck 2's Vi is 8 m/s, then what is the velocity of each puck after they collide?

Imagine that you are in the following real life situation. You are working in the human resources department of a company. You are conducting a study of gender equity in the workplace. You find that the company employs more men than women and that men are on average paid more than women at the company. However, you also find that women are paid more than men with the same job title. Do you think that the firm is discriminating based on gender? What steps would you take to address any possible biases?
