Write Java code for extending the LinkedList<E> class of java.util.* to ExtLinkedList<E> that would include the following method:

public ExtLinkedList <E> mergeThreeLists (ExtLinkedList<E> list1, ExtLinkedList<E> list2) {

}

that returns an ExtLinkedList<E> which is the merged version of values from thislist, followed by values from list1, and then followed by values from list2.    For example, if E is Integer type and this listhas (5,3,1), list1has (8, 10,12,14), and list2has (22,23,24,25,26) in that order, then the returned list from a call to list.mergeThreeLists(list1,list2) will have (5,3,1,8,10,12,14,22,23,24, 25,26). Obviously the size of the returned list will be equal to list.size()+list1.size()+list2.size(). Use listIterator() to do this efficiently for full credit.  Your code should work for any size including the empty list and any parameter E.

is there an applicable code? if so, what is it?

Situation 2: “While I knew it might happen someday, I didn't expect it right now.” This was the reaction of Patrick when his company merged with another organization and moved its offices to another country, resulting in him losing his job. Patrick does have some flexibility in his shortterm finances since he has three months of living expenses in a savings account. However, "three months can go by very quickly," as Patrick noted.

a. Identify the main financial planning issues that need to be addressed.

b. Suggest any TWO additional information either quantitative or qualitative you need before making recommendation.

c. Recommend the most appropriate TWO actions based on the information provided and your assessment of the situation,

You are considering a merger of two companies:

                                                Company A                             Company B

Value of Assets (MV)            $ 10 Billion                            $ 100 Billion

Debt (MV)                              $ 5 Billion                             $ 10 Billion

Maturity of Debt                          5 years                                       5 years

Volatility                                     35%                                              40%

Rf                                                  2%                                                 2%

If company B wants to buy Company A’s equity and pay off its debt as part of the merger,

(a) use the Black-Scholes model to analyze the market value of the equity and the debt of A and B before the merger

(b) If the two firms are merged and there is no synergy, and the combined firm has volatility of 32%, use the Black-Scholes model to analyze the market value of the equity and the debt of B of the combined firm

(c) does this merger makes sense for the stockholders of A and B? Explain

Please compare the bases of Classical School with the bases of Historical School. Please explain the reasons of differences between these two schools

Hooters, Inc.: A Macro-Marketing Evaluation

All economies must have a macro-marketing system. The economies may take many forms, but all must have some way of deciding what and how much is to be produced and distributed by whom, when, and for whom.

Our macro-marketing system is basically a market-directed economy. The key decisions are made fairly automatically and democratically, through the micro-level decisions made by individual producers and consumers. Together these individual decisions determine the macro-level decisions and provide direction for the whole economy.

Does our macro-marketing system work in an efficient and fair way that achieves our social objectives? This question is very subjective, and we usually analyze the performance of our marketing system in terms of how well it satisfies consumer needs, as consumers see them. But remember, not all consumers have the same needs!

The marketing concept suggests that a firm should try to satisfy the needs of some consumers (at a profit). But, what is "good" for some producers or consumers may not be "good" for society as a whole. This is the "micro-macro dilemma." It means that in running our macro-marketing system some compromises must be made to balance the needs of society and the needs of individual producers and consumers. Making these compromises and still protecting individual freedom of choice is not easy. This exercise will help you understand the difficulty of resolving micro-macro dilemmas.

In this exercise, please read the mini-case and answer the questions that follow.

Founded in 1983, Hooters of America, Inc. is the franchiser of over 455 locations spread throughout forty-four states in the United States and twenty-eight countries and territories worldwide. The company employs more than 25,000 people, of which 17,000 are Hooters Girls.

While often credited with popularizing the concept of "hot wings," Hooters is also known for the costumes of its female employees. According to the company's website, "The element of female sex appeal is prevalent in the restaurants, and the company believes the Hooters Girl is as socially acceptable as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, or a Radio City Rockette."

Over the years, the company has faced several sexual harassment lawsuits and in 1991, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission initiated an investigation into the hiring practices of the company. While the investigation was ultimately discontinued, many consumers argue that the company exploits beautiful women. The terms "demeaning" and "degrading" were used by members of the general public when CEO Coby Brooks went undercover in an episode of Undercover Boss. While those terms were disturbing to him, the arguments certainly were not new and, as the company website states, "To Hooters, the women's rights movement is important because it guarantees women have the right to choose their own careers, be it a Supreme Court Justice or Hooters Girl."

Yet, many persist in their perception that the company basically exists to take advantage of a woman's economic vulnerability and a man's stupidity. Since the airing of the Undercover Boss episode, some minor protests have occurred at the opening of new Hooters sites. In the extreme, some consumer groups have petitioned to have the store openings blocked. In a down economy, some see such protests as a problematic due the potential jobs that would be lost.
