According to data, domestic violence has been falling dramatically over the last 10 to 20 years. Is this attributed to mandatory arrest policies or to some other factor? Explain and elaborate.

You invest $2,800 in a 4-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.8% interest, compounded annually.

How much money will you have when the CD matures?

(a) Estimate the terminal speed of a wooden sphere (density 0.870 g/cm3) falling through air, if its radius is 8.00 cm and its drag coefficient is 0.500. (The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3.)

Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. m/s

(b) From what height would a freely falling object reach this speed in the absence of air resistance?

Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

The purpose of this project is to test your ability to use files, class design, operator overloading, and Strings or strings effectively in program design

Create a program which will read a phrase from the user and create a framed version of it for printing. For example, the phrase "hello world"would result in:

   *********
   * hello *
   * world *
   *********

Whereas the phrase "the sky is falling"might be:

   ***********
   * the     *
   * sky     *
   * is      *
   * falling *
   ***********

Or:

   ***********
   *   the   *
   *   sky   *
   *   is    *
   * falling *
   ***********

Or even:

   ***********
   *     the *
   *     sky *
   *      is *
   * falling *
   ***********

Depending on whether or not the user asked for left, centered, or right justification — respectively — of the phrase's words within the frame. Note how the frame exactly fits the phrase based on the longest word within. Neat, eh?

The phrase "O | -+- | /-\"when centered would become:

    *******
    *  O  *
    *  |  *
    * -+- *
    *  |  *
    * /-\ *
    *******

(Okay, so it's a sad excuse for a stick figure, but hey! I've never claimed to be a great good decent artist, now have I? *phbbt*)

Also allow the user to specify what character you are to make the frame from. Typical choices would be @, #, *, +, x, X, o, or O. But let them tell you anything that will print just fine. (Hint: cctype has a function called isprint that tells if a character is printable.)

Give them the option of reading phrases from the keyboard or a file they specify (assume each line of the input stream contains a single phrase).

The user should also be able to choose if the framed phrase is printed on the screen or into a file they specify.

In case it isn't clear, you should create a 'frame the phrase' class. It should have overloaded operators for at leastinput and output. (Although concatenation might prove interesting, too...)

add a choice of frame types: single line, double line, or shaded. For instance:

    +---------+     +============+      +--------+    +=======+
    |         |     ||          ||      |        |*   ||     ||#
    |         |     ||          ||      |        |*   ||     ||#
    +---------+     +============+      +--------+*   +=======+#
                                         **********    #########

We consider data in the following table, summarizing sales of a product (in thousands). For each of the questions, justify your answer. Year Quarter Sales 2015 1 2 3 4 4.95 4.25 6.15 6.65 2016 1 2 3 4 5.85 5.35 6.95 7.55 2017 1 2 3 4 6.15 5.75 7.65 7.95 (3.1) Assuming the given time-series shows evidence of seasonality, Determine the estimate sales values. (5) (3.2) What is the value of the root mean squared error for the given process? (5) (3.3) Ignoring seasonality and assuming the the time-series as given follows an AR(1) process, what is the expected sales value for the first quarter of 2018? (5)

1. Answer the following questions:

A) On April 30, 2020, Connie borrowed P 185,000 at 10% compounded monthly. The loan is to be paid out in 90 equal monthly payments with the first payment on May 31, 2020. What is the size of each monthly payment?

B) Cocoy wants to accumulate P 230,000 in 9.5 years. Equal deposits are made at the end of each quarter in an account that pays 15% compounded quarterly. What is the size of each deposit?

C) A man deposits P 5,200 at the end of each three months in an account paying 14% converted quarterly. In order to accumulate P105,000, how many regular deposits every quarter must he make, and what is the size of the concluding deposit, if one is needed?

Case: Monica’s Designer Handbags: Creative Marketing Decision-Making

QUESTIONS FOR STUDENTS TO ANSWER

1. What is Monica’s unit contribution margin (in dollars per handbag) on the Grand*Mart initial deal, using their suggested wholesale price of $20, after incremental direct expenses? (Diagram as Exhibit 2 - Grand*Mart Discount Channel.)
2. What is the incremental profit impact (in dollars per month) of the suggested initial Grand*Mart 2,000 bag deal to Monica, after the increased overhead expense of $25,000? What is the incremental profit impact of the prospective 10,000 bag order, after increased overhead expense of $75,000?
3. What are Monica’s other key financial and non-financial considerations (such as, cannibalization of the independent retailer channel) for the suggested Grand*Mart deal?
4. Should Monica propose the Grand*Mart deal as suggested? Or should she take a pass and stay exclusively with the independent retailer channel? Or should she renegotiate the initial 2,000 bag deal for the first quarter? Should she offer Grand*Mart an exclusive 10,000 deal for the second quarter?
5. What is the maximum wholesale price that Grand*Mart could be willing to pay Monica, given their probable retail price and typical margin requirements? If Monica decides to renegotiate the initial Grand*Mart deal as of the first quarter with volumes of 2,000 bags per month and incremental overhead of $25,000 per month, what “best and final” price should she propose that would be acceptable to both parties? What is the revised incremental profit impact?
6. If Monica decides to offer Grand*Mart an exclusive deal as of the second quarter at minimum volumes of 10,000 bags per month with overhead expenses of $75,000 per month, what “best and final” price should she propose that would be acceptable to both parties? What is the profit impact of this exclusive deal?

Plastech Inc. is operating its business in Oman for many years. They are manufacturers and suppliers of different plastic articles. They are now planning to open up a web store through which, people will be able to order online and receive their goods. This online business will however require initial investment for developing the system and hiring new staff for receiving orders and delivery. This initial investment is estimated to be OMR 160,000. Information on the expected additional revenues and costs (salaries of staff, website administration etc) for next 6 years is given below:
