The controller of Frizz D Ice Cream Co. instructs you to prepare a monthly cash budget for the next three months. You are presented with the following information:           

The company expects to sell about 10% of its merchandise for cash. Of sales on account, 60% are expected to be collected in full in the month following the sale and the remainder the next month. Depreciation, insurance, and property tax expense represent $30,000 of the estimated monthly preparation costs.

"America was founded on the principle of property rights, that is, the right of the owner to do whatever he wanted with his property, whether that property was a cow, a slave, or a corporation employing millions. But what about the rights of the slave, the employee or, for that matter, and this is not covered in this course, the rights of the cow? But an economy ruled only by the rights of private property not only had no room for the rights of employees, but, when the free market or laissez faire economy (don’t worry, you will learn the meaning of these words) collapses, what should be the role of the government to bring the economy back to life, or to prevent the next collapse? That brings in the idea of government regulation of the economy, and the debate over the rightness or wrongness, the wisdom or foolishness of government intervention in the economy that has dominated American politics since the days of Hamilton and Jefferson until today’s political struggles between conservatives and progressives. Prepare to have your fundamental ideas about the economy shaken, strengthened, or even changed by the debates you will be following in this last part of the course."

What is the appropriate role of government in a modern capitalist economy?

CIT 371 Lab 12: shell scripting

Start VMware, your VM and log in as Student. cd to your home directory and create a subdirectory called scripts. cd to that directory. You can use gedit or some other editor but you need to get used to vi, so I strongly recommend that you use vi. Remember before running any new script that you will need to modify its permissions to be executable. Use either 745 or 755.

1. Create a script called script1 with the following. Match the syntax precisely. Pay close attention to the use of the back tick marks on line 4. This is the character right above the tab key on your keyboard.

#!/bin/bash

echo You are $USER

echo Your home directory is $HOME

echo Your home directory consists of `du –sH ~`

Run the script by typing ./script1 <enter>. Alter your script so that the output of each echo statement is redirected to the file info.txt. How did you do this?

2. Create the following script, named script2 and run it.

#!/bin/bash

echo What is your name?

read NAME

echo What is your username?

read USERNAME

echo Hello $NAME, your home directory contents and size:

Complete this script by adding instructions to output this user’s home directory contents (using ls) assuming that the user’s home directory will be /home/$USERNAME as well as using the du statement from script1 to output the disk usage of the user’s home directory. When done, add this script to your answer file.

3. Rewrite the script from #2 so that the NAME and USERNAME are supplied to the script as parameters, removing the first four instructions (the first two echo and the two read statements). Save and test your script. When done, add this script to your answer file.

4. Write the following script, calling the file script

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then echo Illegal input

elif [ $1 –gt $2 ]; then echo $1 is greater

else echo $2 is greater

fi

Save and run the script providing it no parameters, two parameters of 5 and 10, two parameters of 10 and 5, and two parameters of 5 and 5. What does [ $# -ne 2 ] mean? Do we need this in the script?

5. Modify the script from #4 so that it will also output a message if the two parameters are the same. For instance, it might output “5 equals 5”. When done, include the modified script as the answer to this step.

6. Write the following script calling it script

#!/bin/bash

read –p “Enter the number you seek   ” NUM

for VALUE in $@; do

     if [ $VALUE –eq $NUM ]; then COUNT=$((COUNT+1)); fi

done

echo $NUM appeared $COUNT times

Run script5 passing it the list of numbers 5 10 6 12 5 18 10 4 19 21 5 12 18 22 and when prompted, input 5. Rerun the script inputting 18 instead. Rerun the script inputting 23 instead. What outputs did you get for each input?

7. Rewrite the script from #6 to input two inputs from the user, instead of just NUM, and count the number of parameters that are equal to or in between the two. For instance, if the user inputs 12 and 20, we would have 5 matches (12, 18, 19, 12, 18). Assume the first input is less than the second (that is, you do not need to worry about the user inputting 20 and then 12). Add this revised script to your answers file.

8. Write a script which receives a list of parameters and iterates through them using a for loop similar to what you wrote in #6. In this case, the for loop requires two if statements (or an if-then-else) to locate the smallest and the largest values of the inputs. Output both values. Assume the list of parameters contains at least one number. As an example, if the list of parameters was 5 10 6 12 5 18 10 4 19 21 5 12 18 22, it will output that 4 is the smallest and 22 is the largest. When done, add this script to your answer file.

Shut down your VM, exit VMware and submit your lab report.

Ethical issues follow managers overseas. Consider the following passage from Fortune Magazine, a U.S. business magazine that is not usually sympathetic to the victims of free markets. The article relates the story of Mary who works for a Taiwanese company which has a contract to make components for Motorola (the factory does not belong to Motorola):

For the privilege of working 12-hour shifts seven days a week in a factory where she makes plastic casings for Motorola cell phones, Mary, 30, will be in debt for years to come. To secure work at the Motorola subcontractor which is in Taiwan, Mary had to pay $2.400 to a labor broker in her native Philippines. She didn't have that kind of money, so she borrowed from a local money lender at an interest rate of 10% per MONTH. That payment, however, only got her as far as Taiwan. A second labor broker met Mary at the Taipei airport and informed her of his separate $3,900 fee before delivering her to her new job.

Before she left the Philippines, Mary rejoiced at the $460 she would earning in Taiwan; it was more than five times what she could make doing similar work, if she could find it, in her own country. But once in Taiwan she began to realize that after the brokers' fees and other deductions, she would be left with almost nothing.

Out of her monthly check came $215 to pay th3e Taiwanese broker, $91 for Taiwanese income tax, $72 for her room and board at the factory dorm, and $86 for a compulsory contribution to a savings bond she will get only if she completes her three-year contract. After 18months, she will have repaid the Taiwanese labor broker. But she still must contend with her Philippine debt and its rapidly compounding interest.

In response to the inquiries of Fortune's reporter, Motorola issued a statement saying it "has a strict policy of adherence to the laws and labor practices in the countries where it operates, in addition to a rigorous code of conduct." Is this an adequate response? In your opinion, what responsibility (if any) does Motorola have to workers like Mary? Defend your answer.
