IntelPrint's current presses have a quality problem that causes variations in the shade of some colors. Its engineers suggest changing a key component in each press.
The new component will cost $ 40 more than the old one. In the next year, however, IntelPrint expects that with the new component it will (1) save 10,000 hours of rework, (2) save
950 hours of customer support, (3) move 300 fewer loads, (4) save 5,400 hours of warranty repairs, and (5) sell an additional 100 printing presses, for a total contribution margin of
$1,100,000. IntelPrint believes that even as it improves quality, it will not be able to save any of the fixed costs of rework or repair. IntelPrint uses a 1-year time horizon for this decision because it plans to introduce a new press at the end of the year.

I have to create a program in C++ where a user can enter as many numbers as they want (they predetermine the number of values to be inputted) and then the program can echo that input back to the user and then determine if the numbers were even, odd, or a zero and it outputs how many of each were found. This is to be down with four void functions and no arrays. The program initializes the variables zero, odds, and even to 0, then reads a number at a time. If the number is even, increments the even count, otherwise increments the odd count. Update zero if it is a zero. Below is the code the I have so far, however I think there are some errors with how the functions are laid out. Any help would be appreciated! Apologies if it posts in an odd format or with odd spacing.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void initialize();
void get_number(int &x);
void classify_number(int& zero_count, int& even_count,
int& odd_count);
void print_results();
int N; //The number of values that the user wants to enter
int main()
{
cout << "Enter number of values to be read, then
press return.\n";
cin >> N;
return 0;
}
void initialize()
{
int even_num = 0;
int odd_num = 0;
int zero_count = 0;
}
void get_number(int &x)
{
do {
cout << "Enter a positive
whole number, then press return.\n";
cin >> x; //The number the
user enters
cout << x;
} while (count < N);
}
void classify_number(int& zero_count, int& even_count,
int& odd_count)
{
get_number(int &x);
if (x % 2 == 0)
zero_count++;
if (x % 2 > 0)
even_count++;
else
odd_count++;
}
void print_results()
{
classify_number(int& zero_count, int&
even_count, int& odd_count);
cout << "There are " << even_count
<< "number of evens.\n";
cout << "There are " << zero_count
<< "number of zeros.\n";
cout << "There are " << odd_count <<
"number of odds.\n";

Suppose a consumer purchases only two products: mystery novels (good X) and computer games (good Y). The consumer’s income (budget) is $200 per period, the price of a novel (PX) is $10, and the price of a computer game (PY) is $20.
a. Determine and illustrate the budget constraint for the consumer. Be sure to specify the budget line equation in your answer.
b. Now suppose the consumer’s tastes and preferences are defined by the following Cobb-Douglas utility function: U= 10X^0.5Y^0.5 Given the information on income, prices and utility, determine and illustrate graphically the utility-maximizing combination of books and computer games for this consumer (be sure to show an indifference curve in your diagram).
c. Given the information above, determine the consumer’s demand function for novels (good x), and illustrate the demand curve over the price range of $4 to $20 (you may use increments of $2).
d. Ignoring the price changes from part c. (i.e. assume that PX = $10), suppose the consumer’s income increases to $300. Determine and illustrate graphically the new utility-maximizing combination of novels and computer games. Explain whether these goods are normal or inferior.

Q 19.36. (Advanced) A firm has $100 in cash and debt of $80. Assume that the time value of money is zero. A novel project comes along that costs $60 and that will either deliver $0 or x with equal probabilities. xh is the value at which this project would have a positive NPV. xl is the value above which share holders would want the firm to accept the project.
Divide the possible regions into those below xl, those between xl and xh, and those above xh. More specifically, pick xl – $10, (xl + xh)/2, and xh + 10 as your returns in the good state. In these three cases:
a) If the debt can convert into 80% of the postconversion equity, what would the debt and equity be worth? Would existing equity want to take the project?
b) If the debt can convert into 0% of the postconversion equity (i.e., if it is not convertible), what would the debt and equity be worth? Would existing equity want to take the project?
c) If the debt can convert into 40% of the postconversion equity, what would the debt and equity be worth? Would existing equity want to take the project?

The World Health Organization (WHO) had announced the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. With the entire world reeling under the prodigious attack of the pandemic in colossal proportions, various strategies were designed to nullify the transmission, but with little success. Preventive measures, namely social distancing, sealing off large towns, closing borders and confining people to their homes were strategically implemented. Inspire of these, the transmission rates grew unabated. Adding fuel to fire, the lack of effective antiviral drugs and vaccine further worsened the scenario. As a student in pharmaceutical engineering technology, you have greatest responsibility to propose a novel treatment or delivery system to improvise current treatment.
Thus, you are required to discuss with your team and propose potential solutions on the type of combination treatment can be provided based on literature and clinical studies that has been conducted to treat COVID-19 patients.
Background Controlled drug delivery system (provide literature supports)
Mechanism of action Controlled drug delivery system to treat covid-19 patient(With the aid of schematic diagram)
Material/methods Controlled drug delivery system

For each scenario listed below, indicate how you would handle the situation.
Scenario 1: a car 16-year-old Hispanic driver was in a car accident and is unconscious. You read in her personal information; her mother is a stay at home mom. Her father works at local busy accounting firm. Both of their phone numbers are listed. Who do you call first and why?
Scenario 2: You are in a consult discussing a serious medical condition with a couple. The woman has a serious illness. The man is doing all talking. Looking at her, she seems to have questions/information that is important to her, only she won’t speak up. What would you do and why?
Scenario 3: Given a family, the mom older and the dad passed. There are 3 siblings: a girl who is 42, a boy who is 38, and a girl who is 35. Who do you think will be in charge of making medical decisions about the mother and why?

While World War II ended in Europe with the suicide of Hitler and the defeat of German troops, the war in the Pacific promised to be a long drawn out affair. Harry Truman became President in April of 1945 upon the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Truman, who had no idea what an atomic weapon was decided to use them to end the war in the Pacific in August, 1945. While the United States forces were advancing on Japan, Truman had to weigh the cost of an invasion of Japan versus the use of the new weapons. The military estimated that over a million men would be killed or wounded in an invasion of the Japanese homelands and would take several years.
The use of atomic weapons to end World War II is still controversial today.
Do you think President Truman was right in using Fat Man and Little Boy to end the war or should the use of atomic weapons have been stopped before their use to prevent the arms race that led to the Cold War?
