Assignment

1 Prepare a statement of cash flows for the year 2004. In order for your statement to show the correct increase in cash ($4,960), you will need to add a "miscellaneous activities" category; this will capture several transactions that were not described because they are somewhat complicated.

Write a C# program that prints a calendar for a given year. Call this program calendar. The program prompts the user for two inputs:
      1) The year for which you are generating the calendar.
      2) The day of the week that January first is on, you will use the following notation to set the day of the week:
    
      0 Sunday                     1 Monday                   2 Tuesday                   3 Wednesday
      4 Thursday                 5 Friday                      6 Saturday

Your program should generate a calendar similar to the one shown in the example output below. The calendar should be printed on the screen. Your program should be able to handle leap years. A leap year is a year in which we have 366 days. That extra day comes at the end of February. Thus, a leap year has 366 days with 29 days in February. A century year is a leap year if it is divisible by 400. Other years divisible by 4 but not by 100 are also leap years.

Example: Year 2000 is a leap year because it is divisible by 400.  Year 2004 is a leap year because it is divisible by 4 but not by 100.
Your program should clearly describe the functionality of each function and should display the instructions on how to run the program.

Your need to create one method “displayMonth” for print each month as required. You can choose return method or not that depend on your design.

Sample Input:

Enter the year for which you wish to generate the calendar: 2004
Enter the day of the week that January first is on: 4

Sample output:

The length of a confidence interval changes when either the confidence level changes or the sample size changes. To illustrate this, imagine a statistician takes a sample from a population with a population standard deviation of 2. The sample mean is calculated to be 10. Construct 3 different confidence intervals:

3a) Assume the sample size is 30 and the confidence level is 95%

3b) Assume the sample size is 30 and the confidence level is 90%

3c) Assume the sample size is 50 and the confidence level is 95%

3d) In general, if the confidence level is decreased, does the length of the confidence interval increase or decrease? Explain your answer. Hint: Refer to your answers to (3a), (3b) and (3c) 3e) In general, if the sample size is increased, does the length of the confidence interval increase or decrease? Explain your answer.

3f) In order to make a more accurate prediction of a population mean, it is better to have a shorter confidence interval, in other words, a narrower range of possible values. Based on your answers to (3d) and (3e), is it better to increase the accuracy of an estimation by decreasing the confidence level or increasing the sample size? Explain your answer.

The “environment” changes so rapidly that is difficult to identify all the changes that could affect a business in terms of risk management.


A. Evaluate the company for which you work, or company which you’re familiar. What is happening today in the environment (i.e the economic and legal, technological,competitive, social, global business environment?


B. How do the changes you have identified increase the necessity for risk management of this firm.


C. What action can firm take to minimize the risk of loss from this change?
