Question:

Give a detailed explanation about what is happening with the oil prices.

mention coronavirus, OPEC, Saudi Arabia.

give references

Answer:

Oil prices is dropping.Major causes behind the fall is given below:

• Increase in Supply.
• Decrease in demand and
• fall of monopoly power in oil producers.

The price of oil sunk to levels not seen since 2002 as demand for crude collapses amid the coronavirus pandemic.Oil prices have fallen by more than half during the past month as companies cut back or close production.Oil prices failed to keep pace,with growing (coronavirus)lock down measures and that could drive global demand down 20%,potentially pushing the world to run out of storage capacity.

Organization of petroleum exporting countries (OPEC) controls almost 80%of the world's oil reserves.OPEC is the main influencer in fluctuations in oil prices.OPEC and its allies due to covid 19 outbreak,agreed to historic production cuts to stabilize prices,but they dropped to 20 years lows.Supply and demand influences oil prices to change.From global perspective,political instability in middle east causes oil prices to change.

Saudi Arabia is the second largest oil producer in the world.It will suffer financially from cheap oil.It can afford temporary falls in oil prices because they have substantial reserves.If low prices persist,Saudi Arabia may have to cut back on some of the social programms.

Q 3&4 : Case: Maestro Pizza

Entering the food industry nowadays became harder than before. The people now pay extra attention to even small details when it comes to food. The variety of food kinds, the way the food being served, the quality of food, the price, and even the place decoration! Furthermore, there are tons of restaurants (competitors) those being in the food industry for decades which makes it even harder to compete with them. Not to mention if a new restaurant will serve one kind of food that already being served by other expert restaurants.

Here we talk about a new restaurant in Saudi Arabia that successfully entered the food industry and managed to compete existed restaurants who are serving the same kind of food for a long time and even considered the best in the world of serving such food! The restaurant's name is Maestro Pizza which is locally founded and operated by Saudi people. This restaurant has successfully dominated the market and stole the throne from underneath of many other pizza restaurants like Pizza Hut and Domino’s Pizza and others.

In the context of the above case analyze and provide solutions to the following questions:

Q3. Bargaining power of consumers.

Q4. Suggest strategies to differentiate Maestro Pizza products and services with its competitors.

Case Study

ABC Company observes that the confidentiality of their workers is compromised while using the eservices provided by the partner company. Further investigation has highlighted that whenever a user uses their unified profiles to access the partner’s company services from the relevant mobile application, their confidentiality is compromised and data theft patterns are observed. The situation is alarming and makes them focus on how the mobile application that gives access to partner’s eservices are vulnerable. Further investigation is done in this regard and it is found out that whenever a user sends a request to use any of the partner company’s eservice, only at that instance the confidentiality is being compromised. This may mean that the gateway at either one of the party’s end has already been compromised. Further investigation highlights that the cause is not the gateway but the common reusable APIs used in their mobile application. It is also noted that the same mobile application is working fine for the internal accessible services but start malfunctioning when partner company’s eservices are accessed. A team of researchers is hired to establish a framework of utilizing the known reusable component for unified service consumption from multiple sources considering the security dynamics of ABC country.

A : Identify the problem area from the above Case study description and elaborate how this problem area can be resolved using the current world technical solutions or tools.​​

​B: ​Highlight the titles of SIX (6) possible generic research design phases applied for any research.​
​
​-Mention which of these highlighted phases are applicable in this case.
​

​-Also highlight whether the research methodology be quantitative or qualitative in this case.

For C++

Consider the following code defining classes for assets and office equipment:

#include<string>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

// class definition for asset
class Asset{
protected:
  int value; // value of asset in cents
public:
  Asset(int value); // constructor
  int get_value();  // get the value
};

Asset::Asset(int val){   // implementation of constructor
   value=val;
}

int Asset::get_value(){  // implementation of get_value
   return value;
}

// abstract class for office equipment
class OfficeEquipment:public Asset{
public:
   OfficeEquipment(int val); // constructor
   virtual void use_item() =0;  // not implemented here 
};

// constructor
OfficeEquipment::OfficeEquipment(int val):Asset(val){  
   return; // nothing more to do
}

class Pen:public OfficeEquipment{
public:
   Pen(int val); // constructor
   virtual void use_item();  // will define 
};

Pen::Pen(int val):OfficeEquipment(val){
        return; // nothing more to do
}

void Pen::use_item(){
        cout << "scribble, scribble" << endl;
}

class Laptop:public OfficeEquipment{
public:
   Laptop(int val); // constructor
   virtual void use_item();  // will define 
};

Laptop::Laptop(int val):OfficeEquipment(val){
        return; // nothing more to do
}

void Laptop::use_item(){
        cout << "tappity, tap, tap" << endl;
}

int main(){
        //collection of assets
        int len=4;
        Asset* my_things[len];
      
       // complete the code below

       // (1)fill the assets up with 2 pens and two laptops (different values for each)

       // (2)calculate the total value of all assets in my_things and print it out

       // (3) call use_item on each of the items in my_things

}

The code in the main() function is incomplete. Write code as described in each of the comments marked (1), (2) and (3) above. Your code for (2) and (3) should take advantage of polymorphism to keep the code simple and short.

1.. On October 15th, a Congressional campaign orders a quantity of campaign literature from a local printer. The stated time of delivery is November 2 but there is nothing in the contract saying time is of the essence. November 8 is Election Day. The printer does not deliver the literature until November 9. When the bill arrives, the campaign refuses to pay the printer one cent. The printer contacts you and asks you to file a lawsuit to collect the bill. Explain to the printer what the legal issue is in the case? Apply the law and advise the printer of the best course of action (conclusion).

2.. Allen and Bob complete an oral contract for the sale of land from Allen to Bob for $100,000. Bob pays Allen the $100,000 and then begins to build a home on the land. At this point, Allen says that the deal is off and refuses to convey the deed to Bob. In doing so, Allen relies on the statute of frauds as a defense saying that contracts for the sale of land must be in writing and since this contract is not in writing it is unenforceable. First, explain the application of the statute of frauds to land sales. Second, state the legal issue, apply the law and reach a conclusion as to what will happen. Answer completely.

3.. Amy contracts to have her portrait painted by Herbert for $10,000. Herbert is a well known abstract artist and all of Amy’s friends have had their portrait painted by him. Herbert decides to go to Greece for the summer so he assigns the contract without talking to Amy, to Donald. Donald is another artist with a totally different style than Herbert. Amy is very upset when she finds out about the assignment and sues Herbert for breach of contract. What is the legal issue. Present both sides of the argument from a legal perspective. Reach a conclusion. What is a Judge going to do with Amy's lawsuit?
