Tuka Pty limited is a company based in Lusaka that was started 20 years ago by two brothers. The company manufactures four similar products produced on the same production machinery.
The company has been undergoing a drop in profits in recent years due to increased completion in the sector in which the company operates. At a recent board meeting, the board chairman suggested that the company may be losing business to its competitors due to inaccurate product cost information that management is using to set product prices. As such, he has suggested that the company considers the introduction of Activity Based Costing to assist management in improving its product pricing systems.
The company uses a profit margin of 20%, to price its products.
In order to facilitate the change in costing systems, the cost Accountant has collected the following information related to the four products for the previous period:

1. It comprises two exons and an intron. The first exon runs from the start of the sequence to base number 63 (starting counting from zero), and the second exon runs from base 91 (also counting from zero) to the end of the sequence. Write a program that will print just the coding regions of the DNA sequence.
2. Using the data from part one, write a program that will calculate what percentage of the DNA sequence is coding.
3. Using the data from question one part 4, write a program that will print out the original genomic DNA sequence with coding bases in uppercase and non-coding bases in lowercase.

A student runs an experiment with two carts on a low-friction track. As measured in the Earth reference frame, cart 1 (m = 0.48 kg ) moves from left to right at 1.0 m/s as the student walks along next to it at the same velocity. Let the +x direction be to the right.
a) What velocity v⃗ E2,i in the Earth reference frame must cart 2 (m = 0.16 kg ) have before the collision if, in the student's reference frame, cart 2 comes to rest right after the collision and cart 1 travels from right to left at 0.33 m/s?
b) What does the student measure for the momentum of the two-cart system?
c) What does a person standing in the Earth reference frame measure for the momentum of each cart before the collision?

Hello, I need some assistance on completing this program in Pseudocode and in C++
Program 2: Buh-RING IT! For this assignment, you’re going to simulate a text-based Role-Playing Game (RPG). Design (pseudocode) and implement (source) for a program that reads in 1) the hero’s Hit Points (HP – or health), 2) the maximum damage the hero does per attack, 3) the monster’s HP and 4) the maximum monster’s damage per attack. When the player attacks, it will pick a random number between 0 and up to the maximum damage the player does, and then subtract that from the monster. The same thing happens when the monster attacks the hero, but damage is to the hero. The program should display rounds and the HP of the hero and monster each round. If the hero or monster dies, it should print that this happened and should NOT continue (i.e. no extra text). To learn how to create random numbers, see the appendix.
Sample run 1: Enter the hero's starting hit points: 50
Enter the damage the hero’s weapon does per strike: 20

his assignment is about Repetition Structures.
For Pseudocode, here are key words to use
: · DO … WHILE – A loop that will always run at least once ·
FOR … ENDFOR – A loop that runs until certain criteria is met ·
WHILE … ENDWHILE – A loop that runs only while certain criteria is met ·
FOREACH … ENDFOREACH – A loop that runs over elements in a data structure · BREAK - "break out" of the current loop (or other structure) you're in and start immediately after the loop
CONTINUE - skip over the current iteration of the loop and move on to the next one

1. A commercial airliner is flying at 450 mph, 20° east of north, relative to the surrounding air. The surrounding air though is blowing at 90 mph, 40° south of east, relative to the ground. The relative humidity of the air is 70%. How fast is the airliner flying relative to the ground, and in what direction?
2. Kenny and Cartman are playing paintball blindfolded. They are initially standing back-to-back, facing away from each other. Treat it as if they are standing on exactly the same spot. Kenny then runs 8 meters due west. Meanwhile, Cartman runs 2 meters due east, turns left, and runs 6 meters 30° east of north. They then turn around and start shooting paintballs. Of course, they are both blindfolded, so they aren’t coming anywhere close to hitting each other. How far apart are they when they start shooting?
3. Cartman decides to cheat, and peaks through his blindfold to see where Kenny is. He then turns and aims at Kenny. What direction does he need to aim in to hit Kenny? (relative to the cardinal axes, i.e. something like 40° south of west)

Depreciation expense. Richardses' Tree Farm, Inc. has just purchased a new aerial tree trimmer for $95,000. Calculate the depreciation schedule using a seven-year life for both straight-line depreciation and MACRS, Use the half-year convention for both methods. Compare the depreciation schedules before and after taxes using a 40% tax rate. What do you notice about the difference between these two methods?
1. Using a seven-year life, straight-line depreciation, and the half-year convention for the first and last years, what is the annual depreciation of the trimmer?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
2. Using a seven-year life, straight-line depreciation, and the half-year convention for the first and last years, what is the depreciation for the first and last years?

3. Using a seven-year life and MACRS depreciation,, what is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 1?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
4. What is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 2?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
5. What is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 3?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
6. What is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 4?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
7. What is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 5?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
8. What is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 6?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
9. What is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 7?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
10. What is the annual depreciation of the trimmer for year 8?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
11. Compare the depreciation schedules before and after taxes using a 40% tax rate. What do you notice about the difference between these two methods? (Select the best response.)
A.
The difference is that the MACRS moves up the tax shield to the early years of depreciation yet the total tax shield is the same under both depreciation schedules.
B.
The difference is that the Straight-line moves up the tax shield to the early years of depreciation yet the total tax shield is the same under both depreciation schedules.

Question 1: For the following preferences, sketch the indifference curves. Also explain whether the preferences satisfy weak convexity and strict convexity.
Preferences #1: The two goods in the commodity space are cats and dogs. The consumer loves cats but hates dogs. Their preferences are determined by the number of cats minus the number of dogs (i.e. one bundle is preferred to another it has more cats minus the number of dogs.
Preferences #2: The two goods in the commodity space are plants and plant pots. The consumer will put 3 plants in every plant pot. They will not use plant pots with more or less than three plants. All they care about is the number of pots with three plants that they can make.
Question 2: This question concerns a consumer who is choosing how many of two goods to buy: Footballs (the round ones, that you kick with your foot) and cricket balls (like baseballs, but better). The consumer has an income of $20, and the cost of a football is $4 and a cricket ball is $2. A new government is elected that hates all sports. They tax both footballs and cricket balls at 50%. Write down the equation for the consumer budget constraint and graph it in the commodity space.
