Arnold runs a plumbing company. He and Lucy agree on a price for Arnold to install the plumbing in a new guest house that Lucy is building in her backyard.

As he's working the job, Arnold discovers that he didn't include a sufficient charge for labor in his original price. He tells Lucy that unless he receives an additional $2,500, he can't complete the job. Lucy agrees to pay.

Arnold finishes the plumbing work and submits his bill to Lucy. Lucy pays the amount due under the original contract but refuses to pay the additional $2,500. Arnold sues for breach of contract, claiming that Lucy's failure to pay the $2,500 breached the second contract they entered into.

Which of the following is the most likely result of their dispute?

1.

Lucy is going to have to pay, but only one half of what Arnold is asking. This is due to the calculations involved in the contract adjustment process of equity.

2.

Lucy is going to have to pay. This is a typical bilateral contract and she got the benefit of the bargain. It would be inequitable for her to accept the benefit without having to pay for it.

3.

Lucy won't be required to pay. Arnold relied on past consideration when he bargained for the $2,500 contract. Past consideration is no consideration.

4.

Lucy won't be required to pay. Arnold has a preexisting duty to complete the plumbing work under the original contract, so his promise to perform in return for her promise to pay $2,500 is without consideration.

Write a C program that runs on ocelot for a mini calculator using only the command line options. You must use getopt to parse the command line.
Usage: minicalc [-a num] [-d num] [-m num] [-s num] [-e] value
• The variable value is the starting value.
• Value should be validated to be an integer between 1 and 99. Error message and usage shown if not.
• -a adds num to value.
• -d divides value by num.
• -m multiplies value by num.
• -s subtracts num from value.
• -e squares value. (Note: no num is needed.)
• Output should have exactly 2 decimal places no matter what the starting values are.
• If –e is included, it is executed first.
• Use standard order of operations for all operations.
Code should be nicely indented and commented. Create a simple Makefile to compile your program into an executable called minicalc.The Makefile should be called Makefile with no extension. I should be able to type make at the command line to compile your program.

Create a set of use cases for the following system: A video store (AVS) runs a series of fairly standard video stores. Before a video can be put on the shelf , it must be catalogued and entered into the video database. Every customer must have a valid AVS customer card in order to rent a video. Customers rent videos for 3 days at a time. Every time a customer rents a video the system must ensure that the customer doesn't have any overdue videos. If so the overdue videos must be returned and overdue fee paid before the customer can rent any more videos. Likewise if the customer has returned overdue videos , but has not paid the overdue fee, the fee must be paid before any new videos can be rented. Every morning the store manager prints a report that lists overdue videos, if a video is 2 or more days overdue then the manager calls the customer to remind them to return the video. If a video is returned in damaged condition the manager removes it from the video database and may sometimes charge the customer.

Please help me! CREATE USE CASE DIAGRAM for the situation in exercise F – Use MS Word to draw it using Insert and Shapes menu) – 1p. Consider that for a customer to have a valid video store card the customer must create an account. Also consider that as a step after renting a video (or videos) the customer must pay for the rental(s). The assumption is that a customer pays only using credit card

A larger and more modern main post office is to be constructed at a new location in​ Davis, California. Growing suburbs caused a shift in the population density from where it was 40 years​ ago, when the current facility was built. Annette​ Werk, the​ postmaster, asked her assistants to draw a grid map of the seven points where mail is picked up and delivered in bulk. The coordinates and trips per day to and from the seven mail source points and the current main post​ office, M, are shown in the following table. M will continue to act as a mail source point after relocation.

There is a movement in our country to prevent landlords from evicting tenants for non-payment of rent owing to the pandemic. 1. Is this a good idea? Why? 2. How many months should a family be allowed to live in an apartment or a house without paying rent? 3? 6? 12? “As long as it takes for the family to get back on its feet”? WHY???? 3. About 90% of all landlord-tenant agreements are private sector transactions—no direct involvement by our government…… Should landlords be compensated by our government (federal, state, or local) for the lost rent? Why? How much? One third of the lost rent? One half? Two thirds? ALL of it???? Why? 4. If landlords were not compensated at all, how could this affect entry in to the rental housing market by future landlords, in theory? (I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS: this may not be our last pandemic. In 1957, an influenza epidemic killed 110,000 Americans WHO WERE ALREADY SOMEWHAT ENGAGED IN SOCIAL DISTANCING OWING TO THE POLIO SCARE----SJMN, 3\21\20)

A crew of mechanics at the Highway Department garage repair vehicles that break down at an average of 10 vehicles per hour (approximately Poisson in nature). The mechanic crew can service an average of 2 vehicles every 10 minutes with a repair time distribution that approximates an exponential distribution. The crew cost is approximately $50 per hour. The cost associated with lost productivity from the breakdown is estimated at $80 per vehicle per hour (or any fraction thereof). Which is cheaper, the existing system with one service crew, or a revised system with two service crews? The average waiting time for adding the second crew is 0.02.
