The following ratios have been calculated from the most recent financial statements for Goodman Enterprises and Kwiksave Limited. Both businesses operate in the retail industry.

REQUIRED:

1. Compare and contrast the profitability and liquidity of Goodman Enterprises and Kwiksave Limited on the basis of the ratios above. (word limit: 300 words)

2. Explain which of the two businesses is likely to be operating in a price-competitive environment and to what extent this has impacted on their net profit margin. (word limit: 150 words)

In C++, write a program that accepts a text file of ASCII words from standard input and store them and the amount of times the word appears in the file in a hash table using external chaining. Then print the words and their counts sorted based on alphabetical order and print them again in decreasing numerical order based on the amount of times the word appears in the file.

Space, tab, and new line all count as space characters.

The first output would look like:

41 1
apple 9
it's 2
lover 2
Purple 7

The second output would look like:

41 1
it's 2
lover 2
Purple 7
apple 9

A magazine publisher wants to launch a new magazine geared to college students. The project's initial investment is $65. The project's cash flows that come in at the end of each year are $23 for 5 consecutive years beginning one year from today. What is the project's NPV if the required rate of return is 15%?

$_____

Place your answer in dollars and cents without the use of a dollar sign or comma. If applicable, a negative answer should have a "minus" sign in front of the number.

Work your analysis out to at least 4 decimal places of accuracy.

Based upon the NPV decision rule, should the company accept or reject the project?

Answer #2:(Yes or No) Place your aswer as the word "yes" or the word "no".

Please create a Hangman game in Java language. For this game a random word will be selected from the following list (abstract, cemetery, nurse, pharmacy, climbing). You should keep a running tab of the user’s score and display it on screen; the user begins with 100 points possible if they correctly guess the word without any mistakes. For every incorrect letter which is guessed, 10 points should be taken away from what is left of their total possible points. For every correct letter which is guessed, their score is left unchanged. The user’s score should never be lower than 0, or exceed the mentioned points possible. Keep track and print a list of the player's high scores at the end.

(USE C ++ AND class STRING ONLY!!!! No java, No cstring and No vector)

Write a program that can be used to train the user to use less sexist language by suggesting alternative versions of sentences given by the user. The program will ask for a sentence, read the sentence into a string variable, and replace all occurrences of masculine pronouns with genderneutral pronouns.

For example, it will replace "he" with "she or he".

Thus, the input sentence

See an adviser, talk to him, and listen to him.

should produce the following suggested changed version of the sentence:

See an adviser, talk to her or him, and listen to her or him.

Be sure to preserve uppercase letters for the first word of the sentence. The pronoun "his" can be replaced by "her (s)"; your program need not decide

between "her" and "hers". Allow the user to repeat this for more sentences until the user says she or he is done.

This will be a long program that requires a good deal of patience. Your program should not replace the string "he" when it occurs inside another word, such as "here". A word is any string consisting of the letters of the alphabet and delimited at each end by a blank, the end of the line, or any other character that is not a letter. Allow your sentences to be up to 100 characters long.

magine a table is given as following. This table is called lookup table. The table works as following. It assigns a number to some uppercase or lowercase alphabents as shown in the table.

1. 1- Design and implement a function with 2 parameters: 1- a string (a word) 2- a variable that represents the above lookup table. The function converts the string to a number and returns it. This function replaces each character in the string with its corresponding number from the above table. If the character does not exist in the above table, the function replaces it with 0. The function will eventually return the number.

2. 2- Define a main function and call the method you designed in 1. When calling the above function in the main method, pass to the function the word “We have missed Vancouver’s summer” and the above lookup table. What is the output of the function for the this word, “We have missed Vancouver’s summer” ?

a) Find the sample means and sample variance for each sample. Use Excel and record the results in your Word document.
b) Combine all samples and find the mean of the data set with 15 data points. Call this the grand mean.
c) Use Excel to create a graph that illustrates the sample means and the grand mean. Copy and paste your graph into your Word document.
d) Based on parts a, b and c do the sample means appear to be approximately equal?

Using the data from this problem, perform a one-way ANOVA test. Be sure to give the hypotheses, the value of F, the p-value, and the conclusion. Copy and paste the software output into your Word document.

Using the data from the first problem above, use the formulas given in the textbook to calculate F using the MSG and MSE.
