Phipps manufactures circuit boards in Division A, a country with a 30% income tax rate, and transfers them to Division B, a country with a 40% income tax. An import duty of 15% of the transfer price is paid on all imported products. The import duty is not deductible in computing taxable income. The circuit boards' full cost is $1,000 and variable cost is $700; they are sold by Division B for $1,200. The tax authorities in both countries allow firms to use either variable cost or full cost as the transfer price.

Part 1: Analyze the effect of both full-cost and variable-cost transfer pricing methods on Phipps’ cash flows using a spreadsheet program such as Excel.

Part 2: Make your recommendation as to how the organization should proceed, being sure to justify your recommendation with examples form this week’s resources, and/or additional research. Complete this aspect of the Assignment by using a word processing program such as Word.

Pick ANY biome and ecosystem and create a 500-700-word essay addressing the following:

1. Refer to the infographic provided and chose a biome to describe with an example ecosystem.
2. Provide one example of a keystone species found in the biome/ecosystem. Why is this keystone species important to the biome/ecosystem? What defines it as a keystone species?
3. Provide an example of an invasive species found in the biome/ecosystem. What are some of the negative impacts this invasive species has on the ecosystem? What is being done to mitigate impacts?
4. Provide one example of an endangered species found in the biome/ecosystem. Briefly discuss the causes of the decline in the species and what is being done to help.   

Please include at least three academic sources and make sure all sources are cited in your essay.

PLEASE MEET THE WORD COUNT OR PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND // IT DOES NOT MATTER THE BIOME YOU CAN PICK WHAT EVER ONE IS EASIEST FOR YOU

Hello, this question relates to a class I am taking called introduction to C++. I have no experience writing programs and outside of learning out of a textbook, and studying on my own, have little understanding of logic. I have been assigned a problem that requires me to write a program for a Grocery Bill, where the consumer inputs the price for 5 items, that the program calculates the total with a 6% sales tax. I really am not sure where to start for this exercise. Here is the assignment word for word:

"For this assignment, write a program that calculates a grocery bill. The program should output “Joe’s Market” as the title. The program should prompt the user to enter the price for five products of your choosing. The program should calculate the total price of the groceries, add 6% sales tax to the groceries, and display the total price including sales tax. Be sure to include comments throughout your code where appropriate."

Turing machine A that does the following:

• On its first and second tape, A receives two strings w and v, w, v ∈ {0, 1}? , representing two integer numbers. When machine A is started, the tape heads are located on the left-most position, on the most significant bits of w and v.

• If none of the inputs w and v is the empty word, the Turing machine A writes the binary representation of the sum of the two integer numbers w and v on the third tape and then accepts the input. If one of w or v is the empty word, the Turing machine does not write anything on the third tape and rejects the input. If machine A outputs something, it outputs the binary representation of the sum in such a way that the left-most bit contains the most significant bit of the sum. Be careful: w and v may be of different length.

Q: Define a 3-tape Turing machine M that implements multiplication, in a manner similar to how A implements addition

// This program performs a linear search on a character array

// Place Your Name Here

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int searchList( char[], int, char); // function prototype

const int SIZE = 8;

int main()

{

char word[SIZE] = "Harpoon";

int found;

char ch;

cout << "Enter a letter to search for:" << endl;

cin >> ch;

found = searchList(word, SIZE, ch);

if (found == -1)

cout << "The letter " << ch

     << " was not found in the list" << endl;

else

cout << "The letter " << ch <<" is in the " << found + 1

  << " position of the list" << endl;

return 0;

}

express your current opinions about one part of the topic of "Economic Justice".   Simply offer your opinion and provide a reason.  

The government uses our tax money to provide various kinds of benefits for citizens like you and me; there are too many to list. Currently, our tax laws are such that wealthier Americans pay more in taxes- as a percentage of their income- than poorer people do. For example, a person who earns $1,000,000 in a year might pay a 20% income tax ($200,000) and a person who earns $45,000 per year might pay a 0 - 5% income tax (0 - $2,250).

Does this seem "fair" or "just" to you? Yes or no?

First, you will need to explain what you mean by the word "fair" or "just" here. Pick which of the two you want to define.

Second, please provide one reason that you think this situation is or is not fair or just (by your understanding of the word).

Your code needs to do the following:

1. Create a function called pigLatin that accepts a string of English words in the parameter sentence and returns a string of those words translated into Pig Latin. English is translated to Pig Latin by taking the first letter of every word, moving it to the end of the word and adding ‘ay’. For example the sentence “The quick brown fox” becomes “hetay uickqay rownbay oxfay”. You may assume the words in the parameter sentence are separated by a space.
2. Print the original sentence.
3. Print the Pig Latin sentence
4. Use the computeScrabbleScore function, developed earlier, to produce a list of tuples of the Pig Latin words and their associated Scrabble scores.
5. Print the list of Pig Latin tuples.

def pigLatin(sentence):
# Write your code below
return

# Use the variable below to test
sentence = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'
# write your code below

After reviewing this week’s readings, assess your readiness to be a self-directed learner. In your response, make sure to address the following:

What is a self-directed learner?

What are the essential aspects of self-directed learning? What are your two biggest strengths as a student?

How will these strengths help you become a self-directed learner?

What are your two biggest weaknesses as a student?

How do these affect your readiness to be a self-directed learner?

Describe at least three strategies to become a more self-directed learner.

How will you hold yourself accountable for your growth as a learner?

Your written assignment should be submitted in a Word document (or similar program) and should be at least 1-2 pages in length, double-spaced with 1-inch margins, and written in Times New Roman size 12 font. You should provide a word count at the end of your written assignment.
